actuary tables suggest trump doesn't make it to 2029.
honestly I'm far more afraid of the shady-ass VP who is the bagman for Peter Theil
Actuary tables say Dick Cheney should have died ten years ago.
Do those account for the blood of children that he drinks?
Reminder that Dick fucking Cheney is still alive and kickin'.
To be fair they keep giving him new hearts to keep him alive.
Seriously?
He's only 6 years older than Trump. 2 years older than Biden
And only spent a brief period of time in the Bush administration not having a human heart beating in his chest!
But, now hear me out, about a barely-obese 52yo with a seeerious ketamine addiction?
The line of blood donor clinics I predict he opens in order to funnel the youngest blood into his own veins and ideally stave off ageing, even that's gonna do nothing about the impending kidney failure.
And that's just factoring in the ketemine and obesity, now what happens when you include the rest of his drug cocktail? At least Hitler had the excuse of getting gassed on the trenches, Musk is just a druggie.
Not shaming folks who like drugs but let's be honest here Musk is filling his weak little ego with narcotics.
Ket causes bladder inflammation, leading to infection and bleeding. Kidney problems, when they occur, are secondary to that.
Trump can get away with what he does because of his cult, historically cults typically fall apart after the founder dies even when there's a planned line of succession
That's what I'm hoping
Tell that to Trump's self contained severed living head in a glass container in 2070
More realistically... AI Trump.
They could feed all of his bullshit into a model, and have an AI Trump spewing nonsense forever. Bet it'd even take AI golf trips.
I think that's called reddit
The hallucinations would be a feature.
It wouldn't take many lines of code, or much of a lexicon, to replicate that repetitious blather.
According to the actuarial table he can expect to live 8 more years.

Never drank or smoked. Probably quite a rarity for that generation.
There's a good chance he's lying about that, just like he lies about everything else.
He is a vile PoS. Even when Biden announced cancer, Trump demonstrated more humanity than Vance did. Vance has no chill and no human decency.
Trump did no such thing. Trump's handlers took his phone and typed a message, Trump since has been nothing but disgusting and vile
Whatever, the point was even Vance couldn't do that. Started questioning Biden's health before.
I was not defending Trump, I was criticising how Vance limbo'd under Trump's response...
The fuck he didn't.
