Holy shit, is he actually trying to drain the swamp?

Wow, there's actually a tiny chance he may be the first US president to die in office from health complications since FDR (1945).
{JFK (1963) was assassinated, so he is not counted for these purposes.}

Only four presidents have died in office from disease in all of American history. Eight including the murdered ones. That gives a single term of the US Presidency a 7% mortality rate. That's more than the Rona's 1-2%. On the slim chance our POTUS gives up the ghost you could argue it was being President that killed him rather than the virus.

That´s actually very fascinating

That would be too ordinary for our perfect physical specimen.
If he's going, it has to be the American way: obesity.

It's a testament to the flexibility of language that "slim chance" and "fat chance" mean the same thing, despite, or rather because of the sarcastic tone of the latter.

Both Trump´s medical team and whitehouse officials have refused to answer when he tested negative, and neither trump nor biden was tested at the debate site.

Not sure if pussy or just wants to kill Biden.

Whoever gets elected will be the oldest US president to take office.
Current record is held by DT (70); previous record holder was Ronald Reagan (69, NICE).

@justforthelulz
That sounds a little too old for me, though our president is also pretty old.

 

[Halo]

Sounds about right

If only Gen X weren't such cucks.

America has a law that you can't be president until you're at least 35. The youngest was Theodore Roosevelt at 42.
The older you get, the more likely you are to have dementia: https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-important-is-age-as-an-alzheimers-risk-factor-98803

 

[DeusNine]

I didn´t know the risk was that high. My gramps is around 86-ish and he´s had it for awhile now, it gets to the point where he speaks and it´s hardly intelligible and so you just gotta pretend you know what he´s saying and laugh along with him. Although it is a bit impressive yet expectable that the risk can get to over 50% at that age.

Kanye West 2020! Perhaps he'll make Trump part of his cabinet at least.

Still much better then the BiteMe, Harrass, Skelosi, Burny, A-OC conglomerate.

Are you a disgruntled Californian? Your recent posts seems to largely focus on the state and, for some reason, Socialism (?), even though it has, ironically enough, historically voted Republican more often than Democratic in Presidential elections.

 

[blackyawgdom]

4 outs 5 African-Americans agree. White people get one free use of the forbidden word when used with the modifier Crazy to react to anything Kanye does.

 

[Ivegotnolife]

Actually I live on the east coast in Kiryuu Coco's alleged territory. (I sure hope she's not voting Demorat. )

It's just California has been a prime case study for how thing go completely to when Democratic socialists/ Progressives get complete control of all levels of government! It's a bit laughable how for the past few years they called Trump a dictator while bitching all the while because he DIDN'T rise up as the second coming of Stalin/Hitler, and crush the free will of the States and individuals like the out of control governors that are more then happy to just lock down completely, and look the other way while mobs burn everything to the ground!
