How long does Trump have left?

301 replies

whoremembers · 20/07/2026 21:35

In office?
On earth?

Will he just carry on, an unwell man, until 2028? Or will he call it quits and resign?

Or will he pass before then anyway?

I am no Trump supporter, but he really is 'going out sad'

Edit: context
Its becoming clear that Trump has a kind of dementia. A guy on tiktok claims that at the World Cup Final, he was 'sundowning' by wondering around everywhere.

Him being handled there and in Turkiye, is proof enough for me. Apparently he constantly smells of urine as well, due to his meds.

There really needs to be an upper age limit or health check of men running countries. Too many dementia riddled old farts running countries.

The US political system is so different from ours that I struggle to understand it. In the last election it was very hard to grasp how they could end up with two very old men in poor health with visibly declining cognitive functions as the only two candidates for the most powerful job in the world. Why didn't the Democrats get their act together earlier to force Biden to stand aside in a timely way so they could field a better candidate? Why do the Republicans let themselves be used by Trump and his family?

I agree thread should be pulled but on factual note wanted to say that White House acknowledges T has venous insufficiency: literally bad circulation causing very swollen legs. He's probably got a lot of compression wear on his lower legs. The IVs are probably vitamins and healthy stuff.

Someone is posting rampantly on his social media all night which is main reason he keeps falling asleep in ay time. A lot of people think that his aide (Natalie something?) writes many posts but under his direction. It seems obvious T has no self-discipline to get rest at night, and obviously he's highly obsessive, so those are signs of potential illness, in the big spectrum before dementia.

I reckon T will finish his term out, much as I'd love him to be politically removed from office or simply decide to resign.

Some ludicrous suggestions on here. Trump does not have dementia.

All the signs say he has .

zurigo · 21/07/2026 07:49

Unless he has a major health crisis and is literally unable to get up and get dressed and perform his role in some way, he will continue on until 2028, like Biden did.

ETA: And if he doesn't finish out his term, Vance will, and he's an even bigger lunatic. So be careful what you wish for ...

TDS is a thing. If he hadn't won, we would have Kamala Shock and the USA would be lost. Rather like the UK is, to be honest Sad.

It isn't.

This is the most idiotic comment I read for a while.

Not the point of this thread but is you name who remembers as all I keep reading is whore members?

God it'll be wall to wall media coverage wont it

With Katie Hopkins reading a poem and nazi saluting him on truth social

Melania will look stunning though. She was born for widows weeds and full media coverage.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 21/07/2026 08:12

He has a puppet master and no doubt the next president will also have others pulling the strings.
He is an embarrassment for America, childishly sulking, insulting officials and posting absolutely bonkers comments on truth social.
If he has done anything he has open the curtain on America to the world’s stage.

but in a swimming pool of sharks on the worlds stage, with other leaders and sharks why or what use is a weak president and vp ? where is the Machiavellian logic of a weak leader ? better a bastard than a Walter Mitty leading the country ?

Edited

The fact that the entire world is laughing at them and about them, watching them flounder haplessly with Iranian negotiations, tariffing and untariffing, crying over soccer calls, hardly makes them look anything other than weak, surely?

You people are sick. While I don’t like him I certainly don’t want him dead. Your government isn’t so great and your economy and defense are weak so worry about that.

Some of us might even be American...

Brindlekindle · 21/07/2026 08:20

I predict he will die January/February 2027

Funkypigeons · 21/07/2026 08:20

Be careful what you wish for. Vance, as a replacement, isn't desirable.

Wow and if anyone said that kind of hateful, vitriolic speech about anyone in the Labour Party pp on here would combust with anger and indignation. If it’s Trump, Farage or anyone on the right - it’s fair game. The double standards on here are something else.

Come on, the man's a convicted criminal and a rapist. If there was someone within the Labour Party in power with that sort of past and exhibiting similar levels of fraud, corruption, lying and venality whilst dragging us into an utterly pointless war, you bet we'd all be exhibiting similar or greater levels of hatred and vitriol towards them.

theresnolimits · 21/07/2026 08:30

This is an odd thread. I am no Trump fan, but Joe Biden saw out his term despite being clearly in poor physical and mental health. The debate anyone?

Trump has two more years to go and there’s no real reason why he wouldn’t serve them out. He’ll be being carefully monitored, get the best health care and treatments. You might wish differently, but that’s just speculation.

He becomes more dangerous as he has less to lose and is surrounded by yes men and women. But that is unlikely to change.

As for those expecting a Democratic win at the next election - who is the candidate to do that? With two years to go a contender should be emerging but they’re in disarray. I wouldn’t bank on that. I think it’s more likely that JD Vance is the next President.

99% of tiktok is not ai 😩

Yes i do - he is a doctor who lists his qualifications in each video

If you’re talking about epistemicrisis, he’s not a medical dr. He’s very clear that he’s a physical therapist that specialises in working with geriatric patients with dementia, with a doctorate in his field and over 15 years of experience. He says it in every video! His expertise is therefore not in diagnosis of dementia although he would be well placed to spot the symptoms.

He’s also very clear that in his view Trump specifically has frontotemporal dementia paired with a malignant personality disorder. It’s not just “dementia”.

Crocsarentslippers · 21/07/2026 08:31

He'll never answer to his crimes, to his corruption and paedophilia.

It will be like Jimmy Saville, the true horror of this man will be proven after his death.

Ann Widdecombe has just been murdered.

These threads are in extremely poor taste, and incitement in some cases. Wishing someone dead just because you don’t agree with their politics is deranged.

I am certainly no fan of Trump - but the hate on here is something else. The thread should be taken down. It’s endangering politicians of all stripes to normalise this level of hate. It’s not okay.

I am reporting this now.

As has been pointed out, people are not wishing him dead, although his state of health is such that he may not survive much longer and people are honestly stating that they would not mourn him. Most people are simply wishing him out of office.

It really isn't because we don't agree with his politics. You never saw this sort of reaction to, say, either of the Bushes. It is because he is a rapist, criminal and fraudster whose actions and decisions are causing deaths. Can you seriously defend him, @SummerPeonies2026?

localnotail · 21/07/2026 08:32

I find the self righteousness of some pearl clutches on here staggering. No one wants Trump to be killed, no one says "he should be murdered". The guy is clearly on his last breath and he said and done so many despicable things for this thread to sound like a light hearted banter (which it is).

No one is getting outraged when people say repugnant violent criminals should be dead, pretty much everyone takes it as oh well, fair game. Well, Trump is a repugnant violent criminal. Deal with it.

Liz Truss lasted 50 days. When it was obvious she was a liability the UK political system was (fortunately) able to get rid of her and someone better was found.

Agree. If I was a citizen of a country that could elect someone like Trump not once but twice, I would be agitating for a change in the constitution and the political system. Both their main parties appear to be pretty awful now.
