Republican Strategist: Trump Has a ‘Big Lunatic Energy,’ Makes Him Seem Younger

‘He is completely unfit because he is a real threat to democracy’

EXCERPT:

LONGWELL: “I’m not sure about traction because I don’t see the voters having a lot of concerns about Trump’s age the way that I hear voters talking about concerns about Biden’s age. The fact is, Trump has kind of a big lunatic energy. There is something — voters sort of talk about the fact that he is a bully and he is so aggressive, and that gives him kind of this sheen of seeming to be somewhat younger. The other thing about Donald Trump is that Donald Trump has never had particularly good verbal skills. He’s never been the kind of guy that you think, boy, he’s really sharp. Often when he talks, he is rambling and vaguely incoherent. I think it’s harder to spot his decline as he ages, but I also think that part of the issue for Trump is that his unfitness does not lie in his age. The problem for President Trump is that he is completely unfit because he is a real threat to democracy, and I think has been unfit now for many, many years.”
