Beyond just Trump, being an elected official should have a strictly enforced retirement age. I'm saying no one over 65.

    Eh, the age limit should be the same as the general age of pension, and it should only apply for being able to be voted in.

    This means that if you get voted in at 65, than you are able to serve that term, but nothing longer.

    And what of appointed officials, like Supreme Court justices?

    I just had a look at the equivalent of the US suppreme court here, "Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen", and the officers of the court serve until retirement.

    Seems resonable to me.

    It is the same here. But they often decide to "retire" at death, i.e., lifelong tenure.

    65 is too old. 55 is ok. 60 is acceptable but pushing it, and only if the job they are affected for lasts 4ish years

    And I'm in the above age brackets, btw.
    Most people in my age range have no fucking idea how to run a washing machine, so they deffo shouldn't be allowed to run governments or councils etc etc.
    Age these old bastards out so they go and fuck up their garden rather than fucking up the whole world.
