In all the talk about a third term for the First Felon, I find one point conspiciously missing: at the end of a third term, the FF would be eighty-six years old. I can find no mention of that in The New York Times or The Washington Post.
And guess who would have been eighty-six at the end of a second term? Joe Biden, a point that no one following the 2024 campaign would have been able to miss.
[I like spelling out numbers up to ninety-nine, but I searched for 86.]

Eighty-sixed

There is a hyphen in eighty-four, as in Orwell's original title. I have seen the book printed as numerals, but I much prefer the original word title.
The Current Occupant has aspirations to become the Robert Mugabe of the US.
I think 1984 looks starker, but Nineteen Eighty-Four looks stranger. Now I wonder (just idly) how Orwell and his publisher decided.
Current Occupant — I think that’s a nice way around his name.
