* a brief comment:
President Trump, who was born on June 14, 1946, will turn 79 in two months. Since he continues to exert influence worldwide, does he consciously believe that he is leading a fulfilling old age? Or, on the other hand, does he subconsciously (in Freud's sense) feel unhappy?
Regardless of Trump's self-perception, for many people around the world, he is an annoyance, what we call a "troublemaker." Ordinarily, one could simply ignore such a person, but unfortunately, he has caused real harm to many. In particular, since the United States wields significant influence over Japan, the Japanese cannot afford to ignore Trump.
Applying Bertrand Russell's statement?“A successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities”- to Trump, we might conclude that "since he is incapable of taking an interest in impersonal matters, he is spending an unfortunate old age.” What do you think?
