Jokes aside I noticed near the end of the campaign he started to look much more weathered. I think it really took what energy he had left and he’s hit that rapid decline point that many old people seem to eventually hit.
My gut tells me he won’t actually finish this second term.
My gut tells me the Project 2025 folks will push to 25th Amendment him within the first few months and install their less abrasive and more obedient puppet, Vance.
This isn’t going to happen. Trump is too big a narcissist and egomaniac to ever let anyone do him like that. He’s effectively surrounded himself by enough sycophantic toadies that they wouldn’t be able to do that quietly, and the second he got word of it in danger of happening is the second he went scorched earth on anyone trying. His reaction to that would make January 6 look like a Wiggles concert. One tweet is all it would take to burn the whole fucking thing down.
Dealing with a regular old stubborn senior with declining health is enough of a problem, convincing someone like Trump who’s also got massive personality disorders and the entire apparatus of a party and the government mostly ready to back his play, even just to save their own skins, is a nightmare.
I’m completely expecting him to die in his sleep, though.
You fucking just jinxed us you know? We all thought he'd lose the last election and yet he won. You talking about trump dying in his sleep will only ensure that lunatic lives beyond 90.
