Biological stress. It's why every single president looks 30 years older after an 8 year stint. It's also a legitimate question as why trump looks no different at all over the course of a decade. He doesn't have enough brain cells to make emotions happen. Best he can do is give you a plane ride you didn't asm

Well trump simply doesn't stress about things presidents should stress about. He's more occupied with having others let him win at every golf tournament, for example

I'll caution that we shouldn't assume too much because presidents take up the position around the time when the human body tends to change most quickly. For example, research shows people age suddenly around their 40s and again in their 60s.

Thanks, I really needed that today, In my 40s.

Aww, I'm sorry! If it makes you feel better, we're all heading that way. 😅

Well, most anyway. Honestly I think 40 is pretty good, if it had to end here. I'm still young enough that I get annoyed when I encounter slow people. I'm old enough to be patient, or just calmly go around. I'm young enough to still be attractive to someone. I'm old enough not to care if they're not interested. The only thing REALLY keeping me from wanting to roll the credits is wanting to watch my son's version. Not that I'm suicidal at all. That's not the way to take this, just that I don't have a lot of regrets and let's do this before existence becomes pain.
