Donald Trump has launched a satirical advertisement portraying the White House as a “senior living” facility, a jibe aimed at US President Joe Biden. This spoof, shared on Trump’s Instagram, features a series of awkward clips of Biden, including him eating and at the beach, culminating in a scene of him biting into an ice cream.
According to a report in the Independent, the 30-second video is narrated in a gentle tone, highlighting “delightful activities and outings” and “exquisite housemade meals,” juxtaposed with footage of Biden.A particularly unflattering clip from 2022 shows Biden struggling with his jacket, his aviator glasses slipping off, while First Lady Jill Biden assists him. This moment is underscored by the narrator mentioning “around-the-clock professional care” available at “White House Senior Living.”
Trump, known for his comedic digs at rallies, often targets Biden’s age, dubbing him “Sleepy Joe.” This latest clip, however, underscores a broader concern about Biden’s age, as he is 81 years old. Notably, Trump, at 77, is only three-and-a-half years younger than Biden. Public opinion reflects this concern, with polls indicating that a significant portion of US adults consider both Biden and Trump too old for the presidency.
An AP-NORC poll from August revealed that 51% of US adults thought Trump was too old, while a higher 77% believed the same about Biden. Interestingly, only 28% of Republicans saw Trump’s age as an issue, compared to 69% of Democrats who viewed Biden as too old.
Jill Biden has defended her husband’s age, asserting on “Morning Joe” that it brings “wisdom” and “experience” to his presidency, calling it an “asset.” While Biden holds the distinction of being the oldest person to assume the US presidency, Trump has his own unique record as the first former US president to face criminal charges.
