    Donald Trump has said “only stupid people put old” people in positions on the Supreme Court – seemingly forgetting that he’s a 78-year-old man running for the top position in the executive branch.

    Trump made the remarks during an interview with Bloomberg while in Chicago on Tuesday.

    “It’s amazing, because I got three in four years,” Trump said of his appointments to the Supreme Court. “Most people get none. Because, you know, you put them in, they’re young. You tend to put them in young.”


    “Only stupid people put old,” he continued. “You know, you don’t put old in, because they’re there for two years or three years, right?”

    Trump is running for another four-year term in the White House and is currently the oldest nominee for president in US history. If elected in November, Trump would be 82 years old when he completes his term in 2029.”

    Tuxan and Frederick Foresight like this.
  2. I was impressed when he said that on Bloomberg yesterday, he’s right.
     
  3. I think one of his aides should inform Trump what they hear him saying about himself. Perhaps they're disinclined to try since he'll only declare that it's fake news.
