2. Biden was the first geriatric president but much healthier. Trump's experience may force considering age limits

Let's face it, By the time a politician or successful general, business person, etc. is making a run for the presidency, they already have doctors that will make them sound like the healthiest person ever. My parents had great union medical care their whole adult lives. They could walk with the occasional assistance of a cane and had full use of their faculties and bowels in their 80s but were still in assisted living because they could fall or just get sick and start going down hill healthwise at any time. They had a wonderful dining hall, social and recreational activities, and on site medical care all in one facility where they had their own apartment.

I'm sure the white house has an emergency medical team on standby at the white house but Trump is the oldest President ever and could fall or have an attack at any moment. That's not good for the office of the President.
