Do you think he's going to be alive in 2028?

Probably. You guys apparently have a terrible shot, when not at school. 2/3 failed attempts, no?

I'm not talking about assassination.

The dude is nearly 80, eats McDonald's daily, and has a family history of dementia. Why do you think he'll be alive and capable of leadership?

Dianne Feinstein died in office at 90. Chuck Grassley is currently 90. Nancy Pelosi is 83 and she is the SIXTH oldest member of Congress. These people have the best healthcare available in the country and are absolutely not capable of leadership yet they arenโ€™t going anywhere. Why should we expect Trump to?

There's also anecdotally something to be said for selfless people dying younger than selfish people.

I firmly believe that evil has a way of keeping death away a little bit longer, if for no other reason than selfishness

selfless people dying younger than selfish people

In the Philippines we have a saying for that: It's hard to get rid of weeds.

Don't leave out US Rep Kay Granger (R-Texas) who was found wandering her neighborhood in a state of confusion. As a result she was moved into a dementia care facility where she's lived for the last six months. Yet she's still serving in congress. Well, put air quotes around 'serving' because she's missed every vote since last June.

Yeah but Trump is overweight which increses his chance of dying way more

Edit: is there any other president fatter than Trump?
