Brian Tyler Cohen is very good, clear and succinct. I generally don't watch clips over 15-20 minutes long but BTC gets a lot said and done in a short amount of time.

Second, Trump will be 82 in 2028 if elected, leaving at age 86. He's a wreck right now.

Third, even if they got their amendment, I'm certain there are other Republicans who have their eye on the WH in 2028. They may not be that enthusiastic about a veritable geriatric character as their leader. Especially with a shambles of an economy in 2028.

It is one of the most unserious pieces of garbage I've ever seen. It reads like it was written by a 10-year old and is filled with dozens of lies in just 5 paragraphs.
