Donald Trump biographers Gwenda Blair and Tim O’Brien, alongside ABC News correspondent Tom Llamas, joined ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Sunday to discuss how little the president has changed from decades past.

“He’s essentially Mr. id,” O’Brien said, later arguing Trump would “like to be president for life.”

“I think he has no intention of going away,” O’Brien said. “Reality, some investigation, the electorate—all might intrude, but I don’t think he thinks about it that way.”

Blair agreed, noting Trump is “the most competitive guy who ever lived.”

“This is the biggest gold ring there is,” Blair continued. “He’s got it in his hand. Why would he let it go?”

1. Considering that he's 71, overweight, out of shape

and lives on KFC and chocolate cake with two scoops of ice cream, he might get his wish.

3. Just like his BFF Alex Jones - a heart attack waiting to happen.

8. I was thinking the same thing! He looks a walking glob of cholesterol

and eats like a teenager whose parents are our of town. He may not make it to 2018.

2. He's a megalomaniac.

A raving lunatic. How much more proof do we really need?

7. Sounds like the Dumpster is about to

retaliate against his Critics in a major way. This is going to be a nasty week me thinks. This POS is so vindictive and he will act out.

4. More like inmate for life

I just wish he were twenty years younger and in excellent shape so he could have a nice, long stay in prison.

5. Bullshit.

Trump was sick of being pOTUS within two minutes of being elected.

President for life? If there was a way he could walk away from the presidency without harming his ego, he would have walked away months ago.

"“This is the biggest gold ring there is. He’s got it in his hand. Why would he let it go?”

He'd "let it go" in heartbeat - because it comes with responsibilities he can't handle, and requires an intellect he doesn't possess - AND he hates being cited for a lack thereof on a 24/7 basis.

6. He wants to be a 'king'

President require hard work and a grasp of how the world works. He doesn't want to bother with that stuff.

9. He does not want to be president he wants

to be a dictator.

10. If the state of Thump's health continues to follow where many think it's going

he may get his wish. Excluding James Garfield, who died of medical complications after an assassination attempt that might have been prevented with 21st century medical care, Thump might be the first President to die in office of natural causes since William Henry Harrison.
