<p>Donald Trump is nearing 80, yet he is not facing the same level of scrutiny over age, stamina, judgment, and cognitive fitness that Joe Biden faced. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ argues that America should stop pretending age limits are radical and start applying the same logic at the top of government that we already apply everywhere else.  The Constitution already sets a minimum age for presidents. So why not a maximum? TJ makes the case for a practical presidential age limit: no one should be eligible to run if they would turn 72 during the term they are seeking. That means no candidate older than 67 on Inauguration Day.  This is not about hating older people. It is about reducing catastrophic risk in the most powerful job on Earth, a job involving nuclear weapons, war and peace, global markets, national security, and crisis decision-making. From Donald Trump’s public behavior to the failure of the 25th Amendment as a real safeguard, this episode asks whether America can afford to gamble on octogenarian presidents.  Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for sharp political commentary, media analysis, and unfiltered arguments about power, democracy, and the future of American leadership. </p>
