On the bright side Trump is fat, 78 and has probably had at least one stroke already.
The negative impacts of a Trump presidency will be with us for a while, but there's a pretty limited window on how long Trump himself will be no matter what tricks he tries to play.
Putin served two terms (2000-2008), then one as prime minister (2008-2012) because the Constitution only allowed two consecutive terms. Then the terms were lengthened to six years and he served an additional two terms (2012-2024), during which the Constitution was amended to specify two terms in total, except for terms prior to the amendment. Thus he's now in his fifth and likely sixth terms (2024-2036).
