Yeah, I don’t think he’ll die during his term like a lot of people do. He’s unhealthy but he has access to the best healthcare imaginable. Kissinger, Cheney, and Bill Clinton either lived or still live for a long time with serious heart issues. Jimmy Carter some fucking how managed to live for another decade after getting brain cancer at 90.

Like I’ve said a few times now, old Western politicians tend to disappoint us by living an absurdly long time. Critical support to Song Ping for still being alive at 108 though.

bill clinton and trump are the same age fyi. i think trump will be around for a while longer but it is a bit funny that vance has been saying "the president DEFINITELY won't die soon but just if he does, I would make a great president". i would bet anything that thiel is hoping vance will push trump down the stairs or something just so he can officially have his guy at the top

The fact that he never drank/used drugs is probably the only reason he's still alive. If you combined his health with even a moderate drinking habit dude would have died like 10 years ago

Idk if thats better or worse, probably about the same since his replacement will be jaby-vance

I think President Vance would be worse solely because he’s actually in full control of his faculties.

But he’s also way less popular. Trump has a floor of support of like 30%. Vance has no floor, we’ll get to see what happens when only 2% of the presidents own party members support them

They'll still fall in line
