WTF. Are you rainman? You still remember today! You must be the smartest person on the planet!
Also those words would never be used for a memory evaluation, they are too closely related, I believe he was just naming what he could see.
Within the context of where he was when he stated that list, 100% it was just what he saw in the moment when looking for inspiration for 5 words. If you sat a child down in a room full of toys and asked them to name 5 things, they would probably name their 5 favorite, or most obvious toys in front of them.
Someone who was more with it would be able to put in the effort to pick random, less related words.
Dude, Clinton today is still younger than Trump and he was president 25 years ago.
Yes, that is what the graphic is pointing out. Trump is currently older than all of them except Biden.
Mom, look, that's the Matemagician they've been talking about!
I knew Trump was old, but this really puts it in perspective. I mean, he's only a month older than W, but W was also "only" 55 when he was inaugurated, not nearing 80. Fuck.
Everyone knows by now that Trump is the GOP. Grand Ole Papy.

At this point I want Obama back
They don't care. They don't want a competent leader. They just want to win. They want a bit of dopamine.
He's also the 3rd and 4th oldest candidate ever iirc.
Biden was a candidate up till a few days ago. So Biden is still the oldest candidate ever.
trump might grab the "oldest nominee ever" because he's born a couple months later than Biden.
Similarly, trump took office at 70 years and 220 days in 2016, so he could also grab "oldest to enter office", that record is held by 2020 Biden at 78 years, 61 days in the unfortunate case he wins.
I know it's just a meme. But it's worth the accuracy of being pedantic.
Edit:
Nope, not even the oldest nominee:

Dude was 84, which means neither Biden or trump have been the oldest nominee/candidate.
But Biden still has record for oldest president
Did the Democratic party announce his candidacy!?
I ain't American but i thought they hadn't announced on yet... Source that they did? Just so I can catch up. Thanks!
That's their distinction between candidate and nominee. Biden was a candidate for 2024 presidential race but had not yet become the DNC nominee.
Oh sick. So he wasn't a nominee yet.
Is trump the oldest nominee?!!
I think he is.
But I don't know the ages of every failed campaign. It's easy to check the winners, but there might have been someone even older that lost.
But I doubt it.
LOL!
You have made a big impact correcting this image. Although it would have been less partisan if you just said 'nomineee... Not candidate.'
Lol.. but you didn't cos... Well I wonder why. Why didnt you?
I legitimately don't even know what you're asking...
I'm not sure they do, either.
all those "today" are unnecessary and confusing, alive people don't pass each other in age
It's clarifying that trump isn't just older than their age when they took office, he's older than their current age.
alive people don’t pass each other in age
Numerically, yes. But some people age considerably fast in other regards. Prince William and Nicki Minaj are the same age. Beyonce and Elijah Wood? Same age. John Cena and John Oliver. Same.
Depends on the gravity and/or acceleration that they experience in their frame of reference.
Surelly the additional gravitational force felt by Trump due to his outsided ego has accelerated his aging?!
It's all just a play to be able to say when Biden took office, when they don't on the others. The wording makes it seem like they say the same for all.
Tries to hide the fact that Biden is still older than Trump (which should come as no surprise to anyone)
Why would they hide it? Biden's not up for re-election.
