Current Events > Unpopular opinion : I think presidents should be below 60

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like when you are too old you might not be the best representative for the future societies

we got hairy legs

Why did you choose 60, and not 59 or 61?

Im guessing it was arbitrary.

D. I'm against age discrimination.

Isn't like 35 the minimum?

I'd prefer younger candidates for sure, but I'm not particularly upset about older people in the White House when they have a massive track record that you can judge them by positively or negatively.

55 would be my hypothetical sweet spot age for a president entering their first term. That's effectively 30 years of post college life experience and hopefully elected, military, or senior civil service actions and policies that you can draw from to have an idea for how they'd be as president.

Early 40s and especially late 30s would give me pause on if they'd really be ready, but compared to the dunce currently in the White House anybody will seem competent in comparison.

I swear if I was american I'd vote for Paris Hilton or a random zoomer youtube celebrity over Trump. That's how bad I think he is

I don't think it really matters so long as they have a clean bill of health. Issue with Trump and Biden is that one could have a heart attack and the other might wake up one day having forgotten everything.
