It looks to me like Trump is suffering from Heart Failure Which Can Cause Cognitive Decline & Death

My Words: Trump is not long for this life, if the stats are correct.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-failure/symptoms-causes/syc-20373142

Standard symptoms of CHF:
Shortness of breath with activity or when lying down.
Fatigue and weakness.
Swelling in the legs, ankles and feet.
Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Reduced ability to exercise.
Wheezing.
A cough that doesn't go away...
Swelling of the belly area.
Very rapid weight gain from fluid buildup.
Nausea and lack of appetite.
Difficulty concentrating or decreased alertness.

Heart failure may lead to cognitive decline by creating a tiny calcium leak inside the brain’s neurons, according to a new study(link is external and opens in a new window) by researchers at Columbia University. The finding could open the door to new treatments for the condition, called cardiogenic dementia.

“For many years, we’ve known that patients with heart failure tend to be cognitively impaired, but this was viewed as a coincidence. Only recently have studies suggested that heart failure causes the cognitive problems..

Congestive Heart Failure and Life Expectancy
A 2019 review and meta-analysis of over 60 studies and 1.5 million heart failure patients showed the following life expectancy averages following a CHF diagnosis:

1 year: 87%
2 years: 73%
5 years: 57%
10 years: 35%

is at 20-25%. Ejection fraction is the measurement of the amount of blood that your heart pumps to your body.

Of him throwing rocks at a neighbor's toddler when he was a young kid? He started being a shit early on.

I personally hope he dies in the kind of horrible pain he has caused this country.

I join your hope. I also want him to suffer greatly, preferably for one of his own actions, for a long time before he croaks.

“He did not have a great reputation in the neighborhood as a kid,” Haberman said on GBH’s Boston Public Radio.

One of several accounts from Trump’s early childhood included the story of a mother who found the would-be president pelting rocks at her son’s crib in her Queens backyard.

“She starts hearing the baby screaming, and she comes outside and a roughly five year-old Donald Trump is throwing rocks at the crib,” she said. “I guess you can allow that, maybe, initially he didn’t realize that there was a baby there, I don’t know.”

He was a little over 5 years before he passed.

Before we get our hopes up high, remember, Cheney had his two-wire pacemaker placed in him in 2001, 24 years ago. This could take a while and he still don't have a pacemaker, to my knowledge.
