The 79-year-old US President made the unusual admission during an appearance on Fox and Friends, just a day after hosting European leaders, including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the White House. Linking his legacy to global diplomacy, Trump remarked that if he succeeds in brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia, it might help secure him a place in the afterlife.
I mostly agree, I think.
I think the quote is taken out of context.
However, it’s unusual for someone like Trump to mention the afterlife - although we shouldn’t read too much into that.
Having said that, the guy is ~80.
Aren’t many overweight 85 year olds around.
It would be interesting to see some stats on life expectancy for someone his age and weight.
I wouldn’t be suprised if it’s something like 20% chance of dying in the next 12 months, then if he’s still alive in 1 year a 30% chance of dying in the following 12 months, then 40% and so on. The chances of him making 90 are infinitessimal.
So yeah, any commentary is conjecture, but it’s not just noise.
Yeah. I’m with you. Him lamenting on that is… unusual. Though he could also just be fishing for sympathy and support in an entirely misguided way.
This timeline is bonkers
