There are differing opinions on political policies and the mental capacity of both major presidential candidates. But there are two indisputable facts about the GOP candidate, former President Donald Trump: he is 78 years old and lives a very stressful lifestyle.

The average life expectancy of an American male is 74.8 years, and the most common cause of death in older males is heart disease, which is in his family history. Trump is already four years beyond the average.

His vice presidential candidate is truly unqualified for the position of president. In his entire career, JD Vance was not a leader in the military, was not a manager in his venture capital position and is a junior member of the GOP senators. There is no executive leadership experience to use as background experience for the key executive position of our country!

Trump says, “The choice of a vice president makes no difference.” He is very wrong in this possibly unique case (even Sarah Palin was far more qualified than Vance). JD Vance is embarrassingly unqualified to be the vice president. We cannot risk this potential problem.
