    He won’t stay in power. His appointment of incompetent sycophants will dismantle 250 years of American prosperity (maliciously or negligently, it doesn’t matter) and it will be sold for parts to billionaires and foreign states.

      Yeah; he’ll stay in power long enough for that.

      But he’s 78 years old. When he’s supposed to step down in 2029, he’ll be almost 83.

      The average life expectancy of men in the US is currently 73.

      Based on historical data for people Trump’s age and health in the US, he’s likely to die of natural causes before he’s 86.

      So the longest he could likely hang on for is one more term than he’s supposed to.

        I bet he wants nepotism to for succession, but that’s not what his benifactors want, hence JD Vance
