“I’m looking at all the polling, and I’m amazed that it has so little to do with reality. [...] A big part of it is just pure ageism. The American people are prejudiced against old people.”

    A big part of it is just pure ageism.

    if you're so fucking old that you can barely string a sentence together, you should not be in charge of a fucking country
    if that makes me ageist then fuck it, i don't care
