We took my grandmother out for her 80th birthday. Her dementia had progressed, but was still not too far along that we could still have conversations with her. She’d often forget who, where, or when we were and would frequently go on very charming, albeit confusing tangents.
At one point on the car ride home, my sister tells her, “Happy birthday!” My grandmother asks, “it’s my birthday?” Giddily, my sister replies, “yes! It’s your 80th birthday!”
My grandmother gets a sudden moment of lucidity and says, “I’m 80?? That’s terrible news!”
Whether Trump is just saying shit or has forgotten his age, there’s no excuse for saying that he’s not that close to 80 where he comes out sounding okay. Then again, his supporters seem to want a racist Alzheimer’s patient for president…
