Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.

    I hope you’re right because I think that the chances of Trump making it to the end of his four-year term are slim. I don’t know that it will be assassination, but I think he will either just die of old age or, more likely, they use the 25th to get rid of him when his dementia gets so advanced that he can’t even read from a teleprompter, let alone say anything off-the-cuff.

      Did some math on the Social Security Admin actuarial tables a bit ago. For a 79 year old man, he has a 30% chance of just keeling off on his own in the next 4 years. Probably higher than that, because he’s not in good health and eats a lot of McDonalds.
