Trump made the comment Sunday morning after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam.

AND fat. AND stupid.

He's old in age, but he has the maturity of an eight year old. A bratty, not too bright eight year old.

Dotard had no problems talking about Cruz's wife's appearance in derogatory terms.

Or his female primary opponent's appearance.

GOP had no qualms about questioning Hillary's age.

He is probably being urged to behave. I doubt he can keep it up for long.

Also, he IS old, so it's not really an insult.

In our culture we associate advanced age with wisdom. Trump however, just keeps shooting from the hip...

He is old. Hell, I'm 9 years younger than he and I'm fucking old.

What a douche nozzle he is. What a snowflake.

He is old and addled and a dotard. And he's fat and in crappy shape. His wife obviously hates him and I doubt his children would stand by him if not for his money which given the amount of leverage I see is probably temporary.

Barring Nixon has a President ever been more hated by more people?

Kim Jong Un actually called him "an old lunatic".

Funny how Trump edited out the part about him not being all that functional & instead tried to focus everyone's attention on age, no?

this little tit-for-tat in September of 2015 when (then candidate) Trump called Kim "a maniac" during the second GOP debate.


Trump is the most statesman-like statesman in the history of statesmanship.
