He hit the mandatory maximum age limit of 75. I agree even a Board of Directors job is really not meant for people that age. Maybe an advisor.

In just 2 short years he will be the same age as another one currently trying to avenge his last loss in the Presidential election.

If only we had better options than the geriatrics to run our country.

He probably did nothing but cash his paycheck. Really annoys me how so many politicians with no real experience in an industry end up on BODs collecting big paychecks.

It's all networking, they are out there to build relationships and help influence policy (local, federal, and state) that affect the company.

Well, I am sick of geriatrics too. However, Trump is still with it and is good cognitively. Whereas President Sundowning isn't. Plus he is a sociopath.

He is going to meet Him, but I don't think he is going to like what he is told.

He is and has always been a parasite and a user and the only thing he brought to that board is name recognition.

I am sure he will not be missed.

If 75 is too old to run Apple it's damn sure too old to run America.

The good news is there is no chance he deteriorates in the most stressful job on the planet as he goes into his 80s. He and Biden may have been the same age when Biden was elected but it will be totally different for Trump.

I hope this is a joke. Trump is deteriorating rapidly and he wasn't exactly a deep thinker to begin with. When his own sister said he doesn't read, it seems believable combined with his idiotic rambling.

75 should be max - especially governmental leadership jobs. We should not have situations where 'representatives' of the people are over the max.

Just to rattle off a few:

Biden, McConnell, Feinstein, Pelosi, Grassley, Waters, Clyburn

IIRC, when Gore first was offered the board position he said something like, "I am looking forward to learning about how a business works," or something to that effect. It was eye-roll worthy in any event.

Anyway he will have more time to assault his "massage therapists" now.

Pretty common to have age limits for positions like that. Lots of law firms have partnership age limits. You can still work at the firm but you can't own equity.
