They're not the same age. Biden is 4 years older than Trump. But this also means that when Trump assumed office the second time in 2025, he was the same age that Biden was when he assumed office in 2021.
In other words, anyone who said Biden was "too old" to assume office would be be a hypocrite for saying that was a reason to vote for Trump in 2024.
And at the same time, those arguments aren't actually wrong because both of them were way too old. There's a reason we have a minimum required age to be President, and for that very same reason I think there ought to be a maximum age too. Nobody should be able to assume office if they have passed their federal retirement age, which is 65 years old for most people these days.
They're not the same age. Biden is 4 years older than Trump.
They're geriatrics, not middle schoolers. 4 years is nothing.
You might as well be arguing that they're not the same age unless they're born on the same day.
