12. I don't think Trump thinks he will die any time soon,
Fri Jun 4, 2021, 02:44 PM
Jun 2021

since he has delusions of almost immortal strength and health (and his parents lived into their 90s). According to some of the latest reports, he is said to really believe he will be reinstated to the presidency in August, which would mean he would be safe from prosecution until 2024. And he probably also thinks the Constitutional prohibition against more than two terms doesn't apply to him, because the Constitution is fake news or something. I really think he's crazier than ever and has started to believe his own bullshit. It will be interesting to see what he and the worst of the Red Hats do when August comes and goes and Biden is still the president.
