What If Trump Dies Tomorrow?
I’m giving neither a prediction nor a hope, but this is an issue we do well to contemplate
A President of the United States has not died in office since 1963. A frequent and legitimate criticism of Joe Biden was that he was too old to run for re-election. It would have been equally legitimate to say that Trump was too old to run for re-election.
Trump will turn 79 years old next June. His detailed medical condition is a mystery because he has always refused to release it. One could be forgiven for wondering if he and his team have been hiding something. Sure, he says he has health so amazing it would set world records, his physical prowess astounding physicians, but Trump’s claims can be easily filed amongst his other Baron Munchausenian fantastical declarations.
I’m not convinced that Donny is in such great health, but regardless, the mortality rate of 78-year-olds is notably higher than zero. His steady intake of Diet Coke and fast food isn’t improving his odds.
An aside: I found this article interesting.
