    I think it’s time to set a maximum age where you can run for president. Because now Trump is the demented old weirdo who has no business running on his broken brain.

      57 is the optimal age for a first-term president.

      I want to be able to retire. I want everyone to be able to retire. I want my representatives to share that value, and set that example for the general public. I want them leaving office at age 65.

      They can certainly continue to contribute. They can speak, teach, work for charitable organizations, sit on boards. Pretty much anything except professional business like politics.

      The president should be setting the example and promoting retirement, not working themselves into the grave.
