Former President Donald Trump rejected concerns about 80-year-old President Joe Biden’s age during an interview with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday.
“There was just a poll out, 77% of Americans say that Joe Biden at age 80 is too old to be president. Are they right?” asked Kelly during an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show, to which the 77-year-old Trump responded:
No, not for the reason of old, because I have many friends that are in their 80s. I have friends, Bernie Marcus, that are in their 90s and they’re sharp as a tack. Just, I mean I would say, just about what they used to be. No, not old. He’s incompetent.
He continued:
Age is interesting, because some people are very sharp and some people do lose it, but you lose it at 40 and 50 also. But no, he’s not too old at all. He’s grossly incompetent. You look at some of the great world leaders, they were in their 80s and they did— I mean, Churchill, so many people. They were phenomenal in their 80s. You know, there’s a great wisdom if you’re not in a position like him, but if you go back 25 years, he wasn’t the sharpest tack either.
