The 78-year-old D. Trump would become the oldest president in U.S. history if he secures another four-year term, and, according to The New York Times, his advanced age is noticeable in his speeches.
While his speeches have always been long and often filled with false claims, they are now twice as long as before, and he increasingly appears confused, a sign of his age.
For instance, D. Trump claimed that the audience at the debate with K. Harris was supporting him. However, there was no live audience at the debate venue.
Elon Musk introduced D. Trump’s speech on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the former president was the target of an assassination attempt.
According to The New York Times, the former U.S. president “makes outrageous claims that seem to come from his imagination. (…) He expresses fears that North Korea ‘is trying to kill him,’ when he likely means Iran.”
A computer analysis shows that D. Trump’s rally speeches now average 82 minutes, compared to 45 minutes in 2016. He also uses 13% more “all-or-nothing” terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts see as a sign of advancing age.
