Trump recently spoke on Saturday at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting held in Dallas, Texas. This happened after receiving the group’s official endorsement. During his long 90-minute speech, Trump told the story of the time he was approached by a friend of his, a 69-year-old real estate lawyer in New York, asking if he could be appointed as a federal judge if he gave up his private practice.
“I told him, ‘Don’t worry about it! You’re gonna be a judge, congratulations,’” Trump said.
Trump had approached his advisers about the cronyism hire. However, he said he found they were not too keen about appointing someone of retirement age to a lifetime position, because it would only last a few years before he needed to be replaced.
“We like people in their thirties so they’re there for 50 years or 40 years,” Trump recounted them telling him. “And as soon as they said that I realized yeah, they’re exactly right.”
If Trump, who is 77 years old, is reelected then he would be the oldest president to take office. He has also bragged about his purported bill of health during the NRA speech, claiming former White House doctor turned Congressman Ronny Jackson (R–Texas) was asked, “Who’s a better physical specimen, is it Trump or is it Obama? And he said, ‘It’s not even close, it’s Donald Trump.”
Trump went on to claim Dr. Jackson said he’d “live for 200 years except he likes junk food, so he might only live to 110.” Although it is unlikely Trump will live to 110, if he’s given the opportunity, any changes he makes to the federal judiciary will likely be felt for generations.
