minus-squareenkerslinkfedilink-26•edit-21 month agoLeave it to CNN to somehow bring ageism into an otherwise pertinent topic. That doesn’t belong in the headline. If you want to say they’re inexperienced, then just do it. That might require verifying factual evidence, though.

I’m not sure I follow your point.
Do you agree with Trump then?
