The man is 78 years old

There's a good chance he doesn't even live to the end of this term, forget running for president again at 82...

Trump's father lived to 93, and mother to 88. He doesn't have any serious medical conditions (that we know of). There isn't a high chance that he's going to die of natural causes in the next 4 years.

It is likely he will get assassinated, it was already close once, so the poster just didn't include that in his calculations by saying natural causes.

He hasn't disclosed his medical records, which is something presidents are normally expected to do. You have to wonder why he disclosed his records in 2016 and not in 2024

> There isn't a high chance that he's going to die of natural causes in the next 4 years

Of course there is, he is Seventy Eight and Visibly Obese

His parents living longer is not a strong predictor
