Never mind leading the free world, if Donald Trump were your ageing father, when would you take away his car keys?

Before you took that important action, you'd want to leap into a time machine and go back about 10 years.

His racism and cruelty was definitely on full display 10 years ago. But mental and physical decline in the last 10 years is intense. > Netflix's "Dynasty: The Murdochs" takes a close look at the Murdochs and Trump — his ascendance from a TV celebrity and real estate magnate to the Republican Party's leader. But shocking footage in the series revealed just how much the president has changed, with a comparison of video footage from 10 years ago compared to recent clips of the 79-year-old, according to the report. > > The video highlights how much Trump's speaking, bizarre statements and focus have dramatically shifted. - https://www.rawstory.com/netflix-murdoch-trump-health-decline/

Watching him in that weird interview he did a while back that became a meme, and then watching his second sotu, you could very so very obviously tell that whatever WAS there, was failing fast.

Unfortunately, we know this current congress is too spineless to even think about taking the keys away from trump and the cabinet is full of trump minions who see no benefit to themselves in invoking the 25th.

If he was my father, I'd definitely never leave my kids alone with him.

I’d have him committed.

This article acts like Donald has ever driven himself in a real car. When you are super rich or super poor, driving isnt a skill you develop

I'd take plastic silverware away from him

KalutikaKink Mar 31, 2026 +5
Hell, I want to see him try to drive. I don’t believe he knows how to drive a car and never has.

Right now, I would build a fake office so the senile ~~Fred~~ Donald Trump could pretend he was going to work every day.

My aging father *is* a lot like Trump and I don’t speak to him. I also limit his contact with my kid. He’s going to do miserable and alone because he has tripled down on being an awful piece of shit in his old age…. A lot like Trump n

He wouldn’t have ran a third time. But that family is greedy. It’s going to all come tumbling down and the family name will be tarnished. I can’t wait to see it.

Trump is NOT “leading the free world” 🤬 He doesn’t lead us here in the UK. He’s a laughing stock, a criminal, abuser and detestable character amongst the many amoral characteristics. Shame on the respected Guardian for even suggesting that term!

Wouldn't any person with a decent set of morals turn Trump into the nearest police station to be processed and charged if he was their father?

If he was my father... I would have stopped talking to him when I was 18 so I wouldn't give a f***.

completelytrustworth Mar 31, 2026 +2
I wouldn't take his keys away, I'd encourage him to take his car to a race track where he can.. show off his excellent driving skills and reflexes by doing laps at top speed alone around the track until his tires are worn down to nothing 😇

Off topic maybe, but when was the last time trump actually drove a car himself?

Never.

Now would definitely be the time. Hell I should argue that it should of been taken away a long time ago.

Channeling repuglican enablers. Yes. But he doesn’t drive. He’s good.

Id shine a lamp in his face and gently guide him into the light…so he knows what to do when the time comes

About 10 years ago. I'm going to be 72 in June and I keep trying to use my brain. He doesn't.

Oh around 2010/2011 or whenever the flapping heads started elevating his bullshit. Though if it were on a closed course, he should be encouraged to drive, often and as fast as he can, preferably blindfolded.

wilderlings Mar 31, 2026 +1
I'd take away his golf cart keys.

grewsomemonsters Mar 31, 2026 +1
He doesn’t know how to drive so there’s that.

More like when would you have turned him in to the feds.

Oh hell, I would have had his car towed and in the wrecker’s crusher years ago!

Fifty bucks says he never learned to drive.

I’d have gone no contact with him at 18.

If he was my dad = complete radio silence

He’d be in a nursing home where his rotting brain can’t hurt anyone.

Didn’t they kick out sleepy joe for far less and Kamala took over? Why not do that now. JD Vance is alot easier to bully he looks like he cries himself to sleep, cries on his way to work, cries when he shits, cries when Trump yells at him. Also he fucks couches and not little kids at least what we know so far

I’ve personally taken the battery out of the car and just avoided the issue. 😂

I'd have gone full Mary Trump, and beyond, on him YEARS AGO

He'd be in a locked mental care facility if he were my aging father.

Hyperion1144 Mar 31, 2026 +1
I wouldn't. I would have gone full no-contact decades ago.

America no longer leads the “free world”

id have him arrested and committed

Donald Trump doesn't know how to drive. But I would have had him committed a long time ago. His family neglects him because they don't care about him - just like he doesn't care about them, or anyone else. They're all perfect together - may they eat their own.

I’d kill myself out of embarrassment for sharing a single dna strand with this clown.

I remember asking a very similar question on this sublistnook back when people were still defending Biden's mental health and I didnt know a comment could be so downvoted lol

notfeelany Mar 31, 2026 +3
And when Biden was pushed aside, and voters were given a choice between someone Younger than 65 and someone older than 75, VOTERS picked the OLD one anyway. Practically settled the debate: There was truly no evidence that real life voters cared about age.

Guardian is best source of news. How is is in UK. How many times a day you need to pray? How about Ramadan? Fake news.
