Trump Confronted with Own Age Amid Supreme Court Justices Remark
Trump, 78, made crass remarks while touting his three Supreme Court picks during an interview at the Economic Club of Chicago.
"It's amazing, because I got three in four years," Trump said. "Most people get none. Because, you know, you put them in, they're young. You tend to put them in young."
"Only stupid people put old," he continued. "You know, you don't put old in, because they're there for two years or three years, right?"
The interviewer interjected by telling the former president, "You're a 78-year-old man running for president."
"So, I got three," Trump responded, ignoring Micklethwait's remark. "A lot of presidents get none, I got three. And, uh, I think they've been three great choices too, by the way."
Trump, 78, was reminded of his advanced age after he spoke against appointing "old" judges to the Supreme Court.
