Is he dead yet?

Fell asleep during Oval Office event and couldn't be revived, ever?

Handlers ran out of embalming fluid, so he collapsed into a foul orange slurry?

Stroked out while watching Lethal Weapon 2, mistaking it for the next G20 meeting?


Just fucking died for literally any reason at all?

Within 90 seconds he was ground up and packaged in 297 one pound packs. Don jr put them up for sale at one million dollars each. Crypto not accepted.

19. His death, how I see it...

His best case scenario:

●He develops a severe case of dysphagia because of neurological deterioration.
●He becomes unable to manage his saliva as a result of the loss of a reflexive swallow.
●He subsequently silently aspirates food, liquid, and his own oral secretions.
●He develops aspiration pneumonia.
●He begins to drown in his own secretions because he no longer has a reflexive cough.
●He eventually dies.

This is how those with advanced dementia usually die.

It's not pretty, and it's very unpleasant for everyone involved.

Family members often insist on trying to give food and drink to these patients, not understanding their actions are creating harm. In effect, it's like choking them to death.

They object to the necessary withholding of food by mouth because they perceive it as starving them. The end is near. It's hard for the family.

Some insist on tube feeding. Also prone to aspiration and just prolongs the inevitable while also causing harm.

The process is extremely torturous for the patients.

The likely outcomes are starving to death or dying from aspiration pneumonia.

A pneumonia which is the equivalent of drowning without any of the body's protective reflexes working to prevent death.

The wasting away often results in a person with a body in an almost completely unrecognizable form.

It's a death that usually comes very slowly.

With advanced dementia that's his best case scenario.

Malaria would demonstrate atypical maternal instincts & be sure to provide lots of hamburders & KFC hoping for the best.

Thank you. I did make that up. I saw a picture of a woman with a sign saying “Grab him by the nussy” and I thought “nulva” was more dignified.
Please feel free to use it. I also made “Mailorderia” up. Please use that too.
