Is this edited? He looks rough, even compared to just a few months ago. His job would still be stressful, but probably much less so if he were doing a good job. Pretty ironic that he’s harming his own health through his stances on healthcare while incorrectly attributing the poor health of the Americans to their own stances toward healthcare.

He’s 71. America needs to get over it’s fetish of old men politicians. Every single position of elected government should have two term limits.

It’s not a fetish, they’re the only people that want to go into politics.
At 25, when people are eligible, they have usually worked for a bit and politics isn’t on their mind.
Old people can also afford to fuck around with the economy more, they got theirs.

That is not true at all. The problem is that the archaic US political system is geared towards benefiting old white men.
