    This is why after 60, I’m not going to try to be president. I’m retiring. Guy spent the last few good years he had stressed out running the country when he should’ve been playing bingo and sitting on a beach.

      Its fine, he was playing bingo and sitting in a bench while he was president. Also took a lot of naps and vacation days.

        I think that’s not the point being made here. The point is that some people might prefer a calm, quiet life for their last years instead of having to deal with the stress of being president of one of the biggest countries on earth.

        Not saying it was, though there may be studies that actually do show that link. My remark was more that one should enjoy the time they have when they’re old by relaxing, not pushing themselves past their prime to control a future they won’t have any part of living in.

        it does make diseases worst, but not a cause and can trigger things like latent herpes infections.
