Do you think Trump is going to live through his entire term or will he die before his four years are up? (hexbear.net)

On the one hand he's incredibly unhealthy.
On the other he has access to capitalist presidential necromancy and his family history is one of long lived people.

If he does die do you think it will be

Poisoned by a eunuch
Rage induced heart explosion?
An accident, like falling off a roof?
Assassinated by a chud/comrade/liberal?
Death from supercovid or birdflu or another disease?
Just old age death?
Sewerslide?
Some sort of catastrophe?

Suicide (fuck algospeak) is unlikely, nor do I think his heart will explode due to rage, nor do I think he's likely to die in a natural disaster. Trump could "die of old age" (whatever that means in practice), he could die of COVID, or he could slip and fall, or he could be assassinated by any number of people who may want his head whether they say it or not.

I think it is pretty likely Trump will die during this term, if for no other reason than that fascism is one side of the same coin as liberal democracy, and by having a fascist leader who has always been in such remarkably poor health from the moment he took power, at that such a fascist leader who gives people both guns and reasons to shoot him… Well, it basically ensures that fascism will not last very long and liberal democracy will be restored "in due time" once Trump and Trumpism has "expended its purpose".

I didn't know wether the word filter would get it, so I self-censored when I shouldn't have.
By "old age" I just meant him dying for no real reason.

I honestly think he's like 3 cheeseburgers away from a coronary. Whether that does him in or not remains to be seen, but he's very visibly unhealthy, and has been looking worse and worse each week. At some point all the medical technology and wealth in the world becomes meaningless. Bodies are complex systems and effects can cascade: a heart attack might be fixable but surgeries to fix it might be fatal, especially to someone as old and unhealthy as he is.

I don't think he's going to be able to outrun the dementia for too much longer

He bloody better. I'm dreaming of the day he gets convicted of treason and you lot hand him the death penalty. Pretty sure that shit would get televised.

He's going to die by all of the mistakes he's doing to his health.

And he'll still blame Obama or Biden for it.
