I have a suggestion...

Next time you hear Donald Trump speaking, close your eyes. Listen to the quality of his speech. Ask yourself "Does this person come off sounding as 'old' as Joe Biden?" When you simply hear Donald Trump and not see him speaking, the perception of him changes markedly. In my ear, he sounds alarmingly elderly (and I am not slamming senior citizens...I think they may get what I am saying more so than younger people. Senior citizens can just tell when someone is ready to go out to pasture").

I totally agree -- see above. If anything, it's even more obvious when you read a transcript of his remarks as delivered.

From a physical perspective, he is *still* as overweight as when Dr Oz had him on his television. His terrible diet is infamous and widely known. His LONG opposition to exercise is well known as well. Trump has been obsessively secretive about his health. Let's not forget the Diet Coke bit...there is the possibility that the phosphoric acid in the beverage has decreased his bone density (although that is still debated by science--some researchers say yes, and some say it is inconclusive). If it has, and he has a fall and fractures a hip, his advanced age opens the door to complications. If Joe Biden is a problem due to cognitive decline, then Donald Trump is a problem due to poor physical health.
