Do you have any idea how stressful being the president is? Biden already looks like he's one heart attack away from buying the farm.

Most presidents live to be pretty old, historically. Being rich gets you access to great healthcare here. And from looking at actuarial tables for men of their age in the US, both of them have a far above 50% shot of lasting more than 4 years: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

This was the point of the first half of the Trump quote.

No, it's an ad hominem way of attempting to shut down a discussion when you realize you can't actually challenge the substance of the other person's views, so you're trying to figure out a way to disengage and avoid addressing the topic at hand while still claiming victory.

This is precisely why the "Derangement Syndrome" hack is such a tired schtick - it's not witty or clever, it's not actually saying anything of substance, it's just calling the other side names in an attempt to make yourself feel better. It should have died out 15 years ago, but conservatives just can't seem to come up with any new material to use so they keep recycling old shit and just updating the names and hoping no one notices (and, to be fair, most of their own followers don't, as you've already proved).

It isn't an ad hominem if the person who uses it also explains why they used it and gives reason for the use.

is a sign of dementia.

Well to be fair there he never actually provided proof of actual dementia so Trump clearly doesn't have it.
