Donald Trump is living on borrowed time.
He lives on greasy, fatty fast food. His sleep pattern is erratic. He doesn’t exercise, unless you call waddling from a golf cart to a green exercise.
It is amazing that he has lived as long as he has.
But he won’t last forever. Sooner or later his abysmal lifestyle will catch up with him. He will either have a stroke, or keel over from a massive heart attack.
The mainstream media focus on Biden’s age and abilities or lack thereof.
Trump’s impressively unhealthy habits are remarked on now and then. We may hear about his favorite fast food, or his late night postings. But they don’t mention that what he does is going to shorten his life.
One of these days, Donald Trump is going to die.
When he does, there will be an autopsy. There always is, when someone dies suddenly.
The results will appear on the front page of the “New York Times” and the “Washington Post”. They will be on all the major networks, not to mention CNN and MSNBC.
Medical experts and celebrity doctors will discuss, at some length, the former president’s unhealthy habits, and how people should avoid greasy fast food, sleep more and exercise.
But, until he dies, CNN is not going to mention that Donald J. Trump is digging his grave with his fork.
So, when he dies, it will come as a sudden shock, especially to the MAGA crowd who seem to think he’s their messiah.
When the stroke comes, right wing news outlets will report Trump’s demise, then give time to conspiracy theorists, who will insist that the former president was murdered, not because they think those conspiracies are real, but because reports like that boost ratings.
The 700 Club will have experts who will explain how certain poisons could cause a heart attack. They won’t actually say he was poisoned. Neither will Fox or Newsmax. They know enough to be careful. They will hint that his demise may not have been natural, as they hint that there were FBI agent provocateurs among the mob on January 6.
Breitbart, Blaze and other, smaller outlets will be less careful, because their ratings are falling, and they need viewers.
X, formerly Twitter, will be full of wild lies, involving the FBI, the CIA, Hamas, Hezbollah, Antifa, BLM, the British Royal Family, The Knights of Malta, the Freemasons and the Catholic Church.
The rest of social media will be filled with more conspiracy theories.
“Sixty Minutes” has never done a story on Donald Trump’s unhealthy lifestyle. CNN and MSNBC have never really questioned the reports of his continuing good health, though they come from Trump, not his doctor.
So, if he has a heart attack while waddling onto the green, it will be unexpected.
MAGA cultists will go crazy, not all of them, just the worst of the lot.
After January 6, 2021, we know those people are not given to peaceful protests.
Some places may not be safe.
Some people will not be safe.
Having a sign in your yard or a flag on your house may make you a target for some people who are not rational, though they may be violent.
The media likes to scare us, with stories of murder hornets, monkey pox or illegal immigrants.
They don’t talk about the real threat Donald Trump’s declining health is to national security.
There are plenty of gross out jokes about Trump’s incontinence.
But no one is talking about the possibility that he might have a hear attack as he leaves the courtroom, or what will happen if he does.
Someone needs to talk about what we’ll do when Donald Trump dies.
