there’s an alternate universe version of this where musk’s attendant sycophants and bodyguard have to fish his electrocuted/suffocated/crushed body out from the crawlspace he wedged himself into with a pocket knife

    @gerikson His parents lived long but they probably didn’t live on a diet composed mostly of saturated fat and ketchup scraped off the walls. He doesn’t smoke or drink alcohol (and loves Diet Coke) but that in itself isn’t a ticket to longevity. Biden is a lot fitter than Trump (and also teetotal) and he isn’t the subject of multiple criminal proceedings (his son is, but he isn’t). Trump’s levels of stress and anger seem off the scale. If I had to bet on one of them keeling over it wouldn’t be a tough decision.

      Like I said, it would be hilarious, but odds are according to the actuarial tables are that Trump will be the Republican nominee for president in 2024.

        Yes and also 77 compared to some of the other living dead who govern the USA is reasonably young. So even if some incident were to happen he would get pretty good care. And there seems no problem pushing forward a people who are not all there mentally. They should just send the poor man home to take care of his drug addicted scandalous son who is doing weird things online. Biden should do the same ;).
