Until today. Trump is ~ 5 months older than Biden was at his inauguration. He was born in 1946. This was also the year the UN started, the soviets started their nuclear program, and the bikini atoll nuclear tests. This was also the year Bill Clinton was born, he was elected president in 1992, 22 years ago... There is an entirely new generation (or two) on the planet and we are still electing people who are rooted in the past. This is the most boomer shit ever.
