70. He is a lot older than Reagan was. Frankly, I have all the information I need.

I don't wish for him to hold more press conferences or interviews,
where the press will have the opportunity for "gotcha" questions to try to create controversy...

Obviously, they do miss Trump's talent for creating almost daily controversy,
with the stupidity or hatefulness of his remarks----

but this country voted for President Biden because he was NOT Trump,
and will do so again.

He may be considered 'boring' by them for that very reason,
and I don't blame them--- Trump made it all too easy for them...

"Back in the old days", reporters had to go out and SEARCH for stories...
if they could get back into that habit, instead of hoping for a president to
HAND them a story, this country would be a lot better off...
