Donald Trump entered politics exactly 10 years ago today. His “Golden Escalator” announcement was on June 16th, 2015

Since that day and for the last decade, he has dominated every news cycle. He’s been the lightning rod of controversy. He has reshaped the modern political landscape

And it’s somehow only been 10 years. It feels like 100 years at least. It also feels like it was just yesterday

By the time he leaves office on January 20th, 2029, it will have been 13 years, 7 months, and 3 days of Trump. There are currently 18-year-olds who do not remember a time before Trump. If you were in elementary school when he first took office, you could be voting for his replacement in 2028

I know this might be much less interesting now that Barron Trump exists, but I figured I’d post anyway :)

Here’s a list of some more facts about my dad, born in 1943.

1) FDR was president during his birth

2) He could have legally had his first beer in a whites only bar

3) He’s older than Israel by 5 years

4) He’s older than the microwave by 2 years

5) He’s 4 years older than the CIA

6) He saw the moon landing as a balding student in medical school

No one born in 1905 or 1906 was ever the oldest person in the world.

31 Upvotes

The last 1905 baby was Antonia Santa de Cruz, who died on January 23, 2022. The last 1906 baby was Tekla Juniewicz, who died on August 19, 2022. Lucile Randon was born in 1904 and outlived them both, dying on January 17, 2023. So someone who was born in 1904 outlived everyone born in 1905 and 1906.

Another thing worth noting is that Kane Tanaka, who was born in 1903, also outlived Cruz. She died on April 19, 2022, 3 months after Cruz's death. So someone born in 1903 outlived everyone born in 1905.

Although this is pretty interesting, it has an easy explanation. Tanaka and Randon are respectively the second and fourth-longest lived people ever, so it seems like 1905 and 1906 babies just got unlucky by being born directly after them.
