    Dementia takes a long time to kill people. Especially if they’re surrounded by caretakers and servants. Until they stop drinking and die of dehydration, it’s really only heart failure/ stroke or falls that kill them. I doubt someone so narcissistic has a DNR or end of life directives.

    It’ll be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to walk though. He’s unfortunately likely to finish out the term first.

      I have a feeling his health will take a rapid downturn after January 20 or so. Peter Thiel will want his puppet to go into the 2028 election with an incumbency advantage and a sympathy hook, and at that point, it won’t use up any of his constitutionally-permitted terms.

        Depends on if they think they can win without him. If they’ve rigged the congress enough to stay in power then they might just decide he doesn’t need to leave office, especially if Vance or whoever’s numbers don’t look good enough.
