Ageism is a type of bigotry. Wouldn't your support depend on the health and vitality of the person rather than any bias you have toward older folks.
Would you sign a 40 year old running back to an NFL team who appeared fit and healthy?
If not is that ageism/bigotry?
Is there a scenario where you’d think twice about nominating a 100 year old person for president simply because of age?

That's strange. The elections aren't for months.
GOP voter fraud! I *knew* it!

If the job of POTUS was a one day job then what you posted would make sense. However, it is a 4 year job. As such, it is not only the health and mental acuity of the candidate today that one should take into account but the likely health and mental acuity of the candidate over the 4 years of their presidency. The probability of a sharp decline in abilities of someone 75 years old is dramatically higher than for someone who is 55 years old.

The A$AP Rocky thing will work in Trump's favor.
Dems on here think it will work against Trump because his base is a bunch of racists and so he can't show support for blacks - wrong. This issue highlights the terrible immigration policy of Sweden, reinforcing Trump's own immigration sentiments.
No, Trump absolutely butchered the A$AP situation. Instead of having someone review the situation beforehand, he jumped in as if A$AP had stolen a propaganda poster. Before he started tweeting he should have been aware that there is no bail system and that the PM can't interfere in the country's legal system. Instead, and although he wasn't there at the scene, Trump has declared that A$AP is innocent, that the Swedish are racist and Americans can't receive a fair trial there.
How did Trump help A$AP? The jury or judge will know Trump insulted Sweden and it could result in A$AP being treated unfairly just out of spite.
Trump saw it as an easy way to get some black votes and, as usual, was oblivious to how things are done in other countries.
Do I need to go on? African Americans will vote around 90% for the Democratic candidate....in the same way that Evangelicals will vote for the Republican candidate.....even when that candidate doesn't uphold their same values. People vote against their own interests all the time, on both sides.

Black unemployment is around 6% which is at historically low levels. This is a major factor which helps Trump with the Black vote.

You're missing the point. Look at the big picture. This has nothing to do with the intricacies of the Swedish criminal justice system. Or if A$AP is actually freed. It's meant to draw more eyeballs to the overall immigration issues of countries like Sweden. Immigrants run amok there, and are consistently the beneficiaries of a double standard of justice. They routinely receive lighter penalties and sentencings for violence, rape and petty crimes than do actual citizens. Trump has been drawing attention to the problems of "cultural enrichment" since he started running. And I guarantee you, more blacks than not will like Trump for at least trying to intervene.

Hilarious, no NFL GM would sign a 40 year old running back. There is no scenario where that will ever happen.

The term "rat-infested" does not imply "black-infested." Your race-obsessed brain "implies" that.
Just like when Trump took on 'The Squad,' the Democrats are again screaming 'racist' and 'bigot' - can't you all realize this doesn't work? Trump knows this association will be made by the Left. Unfortunately for the Left, Baltimore is, in fact, a festering sh*thole - I live there, believe me. And many African Americans have agreed with the tweet.
Just as more people sided with Trump in his attacks of 'The Squad,' more people will side with him on attacking Baltimore's terrible conditions under Cummings. He also called out the terrible conditions under Pelosi's leadership, is that racist too?
Yall keep taking his bait...

Agreed. Thumbs up.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAMK_-TXUAAYdMm.jpgLabeling everyone who disagrees a racist is no longer working. Democrats have crippled minorities. Keeping them tied to handouts rather than self-sufficiency. It is a strategy of sustaining the voting block. Thankfully the phoniness of it all is being exposed.

A strong economy helps everyone. What actions has Trump taken that has directly helped black people? I haven't seen any polls showing that Trump is doing well among black voters compared to previous Republican presidents.
My post was about his handling of the A$AP situation. Was it a good strategy for Trump to claim A$AP's innocence, imply that he could not receive a fair trial in Sweden and request for the PM to ignore his country's laws and have A$AP released?
His offer to personally guarantee A$AP's bail wasn't ignorant only because Sweden doesn't have a bail system. Trump's belief that A$AP is innocent means that any extradition request would likely be refused.

If so, that level of ignorance about our political system makes suspect any other political "insights" that you might have.

That idiot is also under the impression that the U.S. President (as long as it is Trump) can dictate immigration policy to other countries. At the same time that idiot believes other countries cannot dictate anything to the U.S.

You seem to be condoning a type of immigration policy that has been utterly disastrous for immigrants and citizens alike. I would caution against that
