Letters to the editor July 1
Dear President Biden
I’m a retired neurologist in my eighties. Thank you for attempting to “debate” Donald Trump, which is impossible since he doesn’t stick to the facts. Thanks to you and your administration for creating the strongest economy in the world, lowering drug costs, protecting democracy and Ukraine, and making big progress against global warming, a very real threat we Montanans will soon struggle with during fire season.
Given that the median age at inauguration for U.S. presidents is 55 years, both you at 81 and Trump at 78 are simply too old for the job. Everybody — including myself — suffers from decreasing mental ability and stamina with age. Many countries require physicians to retire between fifty-five and seventy. Airline pilots must retire at sixty-five. Being President means being on call for crises 24/7 for four long years, the world’s most exhausting job!
