Italian media – utilized to old politicians and young popes (President Mattarella will turn 83 in July, Pope Francis will celebrate 2 eights in December) – are amazed by the geriatric rivalry at the highest level in the United States. diary Il Sole 24 Ore wrote about “the run of older leaders”, a Catholic agency AgenSir reported the concerns of American voters about “two older and confused run candidates vintage” and Esquire Italia He openly asked why in the US presidential election in 2024 the gerontocracy would triumph, due to the fact that no substance who wins, the election of the oldest president in past would should be rejected for ocea nem!
Old man Joe Biden?
Trump, who was the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and now wants to conduct there again, in the fight for America, which will settle in November, frequently attempts to discredit Biden due to his birth date, although it differs from his own by little than 4 years. It even succeeds due to the fact that even though they are almost peers, Biden is seen in the polls as being more advanced in the aging process and more inadequate. Trump's birthday was another chance to tease Biden, portraying him as a grumpy and demented loser, with comments like, “He (Biden) doesn't really know what the word inflation means, is how to fight her.” "It does not associate where the hell it is found"; "Our country is destroyed by incompetent people". Trump routinely roused voters, exposing his opponent to ridicule, but inexorable mockery did not appeal to the politician of Illinois, who – disgusted with the hypocrisy of spitting for a year in his birth certificate – burned out that Trump himself was “an old fart spraying his face with an orange tan”. The politician did not even care that he could be from this suit (he is rich adequate to post whom he wants).
Trump has problems, too.
In fact, troublesome failures that rise doubts about the sharpness of the head and propose the existence of crucial pathologies related to life expectancy happen to both candidates. Donald Trump, for example, praised the Hungarian Prime Minister for his dynamic leadership in Turkey and claimed that Viktor Orbán's country had a common front with Russia, in which he did not get hit, due to the fact that whether he meant Hungary or Turkey, no of these states were bordered or Russia's territory. Joe Biden, in turn, referred to a fresh gathering with Mitterrand, only that he meant Macron, alternatively than François who died in 1996. He besides happened to replace Egypt's president with Mexico and confuse Ukraine with Iraq.
As the first tv debate approaches – scheduled for June 27 – the campaigns of both candidates increase their cross-references to the state of cognitive capacity and memory, which is besides due to the fact that the age of the challenger duo is considered to be the most worrying component of voters, and thus the 1 to be hit. Now all speech and speech by Trump and Biden is being analyzed for the intent of detecting their gaf, amnesia and verbal faults, due to the fact that they may be useful to demolish the image of 1 of the competitors in the race for America.
Or indeed, as he summed up Wall Street ItaliaAre these candidates "too old" for governments? The facts are that the 21st century is not conducive to young leaders, since half of the world's population is led by leaders in their 70s.
