Bill Clinton mocks Trump’s age during DNC speech

The former United States President Bill Clinton had a memorable moment at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, while speaking about Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s vision for the future and Donald Trump’s age.

Clinton, who turned 78 on Aug. 19, joked about his age during his remarks before adding: “The only personal vanity that I want to assert is that I’m still younger than Donald Trump,”

Trump, also 78, was born in June.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Clinton also alluded to Trump’s seeming obsession with crowd size, adding to a joke made by Barack Obama on Tuesday night.

“So, we’ve got to ask ourselves the question: Do you want to build a strong economy from the bottom, up, and the middle, out — or do you want to spend the next four years talking about crowd size?” Clinton asked.

The 2024 election, Clinton said, was a choice between Harris — who he said “will ease our fears” — and “the other guy, who’s proved, even more than the first go-around, that he’s about me, myself and I.”

Clinton also urged the audience to listen to Trump’s words when he speaks, saying, “The next time you hear him, don’t count the lies. Count the I’s — his vendettas, his vengeance, his complaints, his conspiracies … he’s like a tenor trying to get his lungs open by singing, ‘me, me, me, me, me.’ “

“When Kamala Harris is president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you, you,” he added.
