I’m old. I know that.
I said it the other day during my press conference with the South Korean president—I can’t believe I’m this old! But I am. Wait till it happens to you.
Of course polls show that my age is a factor. It’s a fact, Jack, I’m the oldest President, but number one, the other guy isn’t much younger, number one, and number two, we’re all getting used to this. Polls will change. Like I always say, don’t compare me with the Almighty, compare me with the alternative.
Am I mad at Axios for printing things like,
Many White House officials say they're amazed at Biden's stamina — often adding the caveat: "for his age.”
and,
Biden's close advisers say he's mentally sharp. But even some concede his age has diminished his energy, significantly limiting his schedule.
Well, yeah, I am. I don’t like gossip. But the last guy spent his mornings watching cable and calling his real estate pals, and while I sometimes garble the words my brain formulates, Trump pulls what comes out of his mouth from a different orifice.
So I’ll put my stamina and ability up against that guy any day.
I know I’m slower than I used to be. I walk like an old man. Get used to it! I have to. But I still ride my bike, work out and keep in good shape. Unlike the other guy. Or the one who eats pudding with his fingers.
Let’s get this out of the way and out in the open. I’m 80 years old and sometimes I look like it. But I’m doing a good job as President and I’ll do a better job than the other guy or any other MAGA Republican. Attacks on my age won’t stop me.
