In a new, marathon interview with The New York Times, the president couldn’t resist taking another swing at his favorite political target… former president, Joe Biden.
“I think Joe Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people,” Trump said flatly.
According to The Times, Biden’s name stayed on rotation for most of the two-hour conversation, popping up again and again like a hook in a rap song.
Now, when the spotlight flipped to Trump’s own age, the energy changed. Despite being eight years older than when he first stepped into the Oval Office, Trump claimed, “I think it’s easier for me. I feel physically the same,” he said. “I feel the way I did 40 years ago.”
Trump also revisited his much-discussed health habits, including his daily 325-milligram aspirin, a dose doctors typically don’t recommend for people over 70. Medical advice aside, Trump had his own logic.
“I want nice, thin blood going through,” he said, explaining why he won’t touch other blood thinners, “because everyone I know that took them is dead.”
Still, Trump insisted he’s been more transparent about his health than anyone else to ever hold the office.
“I’ve gone out of my way to take physical exams more than anybody,” he said. “I just feel it’s important because I think that people that are president ideally should be in good health, and they should be good cognitively.”
The irony isn’t lost on critics. Trump has spent years clowning Biden’s health, stamina, and mental sharpness, yet now he’s fielding questions about his own body, his meds, and his age. While no major health issues have been confirmed, Trump’s recent comments have sparked side-eye across the political spectrum.
For now, Trump’s message is clear, Biden is old-old, he’s just seasoned. And in Trump’s world, there’s a big difference…
