    Senior Citizen?

    That’s usually 62, 65 if people are being generous…

    Biden will be 20 years older than that while president if he wins the next term.

    Like, imagine if someone put off prostate checks for 20 years because “they didn’t need it”.

    Aging is something that happens to all of us if we’re lucky enough

    Biden isn’t Superman.

      Nice disingenuous choice comparing a routine test that can detect something otherwise invisible to a measurement test used to view progression of an already suspected condition.

      (Also, as more evidence you’re probably out of touch on the usefulness of the assessment, the term senior citizen isn’t the current term used, as it’s viewed as out of style and patronizing by members of that group. Senior adult itself is preferential to senior citizen while also declining in use and older adult seems more likely to be the current preferred vernacular by group members.)

        I believe you, but I’d like to get a source on this.

        Mostly because the fact that Trump is receiving this on a regular basis (according to him) means that he’s already got a suspected condition.
