Former US president Donald Trump said in an interview released Sunday that he will not run again in four years if he is not successful in his current bid for the White House. “I think that will be — that will be it,” Trump said when asked if he would make a fourth consecutive run for the presidency should he lose the November election against Vice President Kamala Harris.

I don't think he will live another 4 years will he?

He looks damn old, you Americans love your old pollies but

Never put it past the worst people and the most unhealthy people to live the damn longest because that's the universe's sick humor. Not always, but enough that it gets annoying.

I’m looking at you Henry Kissinger

Pretty sure even Satan didn't want that heinous war criminal.

Purgatory is OK with me. Or you know just floating in an endless void with complete and utter sensory deprivation. No one to talk to for as long as it takes to drive him insane and then the rest of eternity beyond that.

He doesn't drink. He doesn't smoke. He's got government health care and access to the best doctors. He's not pulling a Steve Jobs and getting fruit enemas to treat pancreatitis cancer.

Could very easily make it to his late 80s/early 90s.

But he's also a fat bastard who never exercises. His diet is shit, and yet he might still live for another decade.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He's been on ozymbic, which is why he looks so deflated of late. May still have another ten years in him on that alone.

But also, you've got a guy like Dick Cheney whose heart hasn't beat in over a decade. Modern medicine can do some crazy shit.

He likes the businessman lifestyle, I guarantee that mine did looooots of coke in the 80s, if not today. That would have a detrimental affect on longterm health.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
