30. He wasn't just "flying around the world" as if on vacation

He was attending the G7 Summit and then the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Thirteen days before the debate last year, Biden returned from a trip to Italy for the Group of Seven (G7) summit on June 14, six days before heading to Camp David. Prior to the G7, the former president had a loaded schedule in France for the 80th commemoration of D-Day.

I challenge anyone half his age to hold that same schedule, with all the responsibility it entails.
