> The founding fathers were all younger than these guys.

Who do you consider to be the founding fathers? Franklin was 70 in 1776. Washington was 44. Adams was 40. Jefferson was 36.

You are correct and I was wrong about the founding fathers. I have updated my comment to say "some of America's greatest leaders". Which is correct.

No, it is not correct. That tweet is clearly being deceptive by listing their ages when the revolution started in 1776, which is largely irrelevant for these four and when they were impactful to the country. At minimum it should list their age when the US Constitution was ratified, which was 13 years later, in 1789.

Also, you consider Aaron Burr one of America's greatest leaders? He literally committed treason.

Burr was acquited of treason.

Yes, but that's largely because he was arrested before his plot could be implemented.

In any case, viewing Burr as one of the "greatest leaders" of America is absurdly out of step with historical consensus.

OJ was acquitted, too.

Yes, you can always make your statement more vague to make it more "correct".

Haha what? https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/signers-factsheet.

You are still linking to a tweet with misinformation.

> Some of America's greatest leaders were younger than these guys.

All of them were at some point in their lives, but generally not when they were “America’s greatest leaders”.

(And none of the guys in your first linked X post were in charge of the revolution, even remotely, in 1776—Hamilton, for instance, was doing some of the heroics as a young captain that got him noticed and on the fast track that ended up in top leadership positions, but that's a far cry from being a top leader.)
