He’s openly plotting to persecute his enemies, assume kinglike powers, and deport millions of people. But at least we’ll all have flying cars!

Many of Trump’s proposals for his second term are surprisingly extreme, draconian, and weird, even for him. Here’s a running list of his most unhinged plans.

    I mean, it literally isn’t. Voters can choose any criteria to choose their political candidate.

    I don’t want to pass any sort of judgement on whether it is or isn’t age discrimination, but your way of arriving at this conclusion is flawed. It’s like saying voters can choose all sorts of criteria to select their favourite, so going by the criterion of race can’t be racism. Those possible criteria can have different names and descriptors, independent of whether they are possible or not.

    How is age not relevant?

    His age does indeed put him into a risk group for possible dementia, true, but the criterion disqualifying him would be if he specifically does have dementia or not - not his age. Young people can develop dementia with a certain probability too, that does not exclude young people, it only excludes young people who actually do develop dementia.
