Someone asked about congestive heart failure. My dad also recently died of it. For him, it was a couple years decline. He lost weight and gradually had less and less energy and slept more and more. Unlike PP, my dad was still walking right up until the week before his death, but he did use a walker. He had periods where he was very lively and talkative but needed so much downtime. I think it’s hard to say if the president has 2 more years in him, or could be gone within the month. Of if a massive stroke or heart attack would just take him. I will be pretty surprised if he makes it to January 2029. My guess is he’s gone by the end of this year or is so obviously disabled that he can’t continue. I’ve noticed that they are definitively managing his schedule to avoid long events. He seems to arrive late at things like state dinners and he skipped his own son’s wedding. Is he still able to walk across the WH lawn to the copter? If he’s still doing that in front of the press corps, then maybe he has another year or two in him.

Slow clap for the American voting idiots who replaced an unfit president with a deranged and unfit president. I'm not making this up. Voters in the most powerful country in the world actually did this. The current crop of American voters will be made fun of until the end of time.

So much stupid in the US.

Except for the obvious, Biden was fit until he wasn't at the very end, and then the Democratic machine replaced him. And also, Biden et al. didn't mess anything up because the office was in the hands of the good, competent, capable, and extremely qualified staff up until the very end.

The Republicans and the Magas knew what he was from the start; they knew what he would surround himself with, they knew he would grift and graft, demean and subjugate (just not from them or towards them), and they voted for him anyway.

The MAGAs and not that wealthy Republicans elected him because they are sincerely ignorant and conscientiously stupid. The really wealthy, to mega-wealthy, well, we don't have to worry about them; they've done exceptionally well under Trump. As a matter of fact, they do well under any and all administrations.

Biden surely wasn't the worst of the worst as far as presidents go but unfortunately for him, his defining legacy as described by objective historians will be the POTUS who had the worst re-election campaign ever causing his party to lose to our absolute worst POTUS ever. It sucks that we put Biden in that position to fail as an elderly man but it is what it is and we can't go back and change it. We can learn from it so we can be better and stronger in the future.

Nah, historians will remember Biden as the president who guided the country out of the morass of the first Trump administration, helped address COVID and restored the economy on the trajectory left by Clinton and Obama...history will be very kind to Biden.

sorry Charlie, I wish this were the case but the awfulness of Trump's term will overshadow anything positive Biden may have done. Historians 100 years from now won't have an emotional attachment swaying their objectiveness. They'll wonder how the hell Trump was elected a second time and then they'll see the obvious reason why being his predecessor and his 37% job approval rating backed out of the race for a second term just three months prior to election which is and always will be an unprecedented and sure fire way guarantee defeat for the incumbent party.

I'm not rewriting history because that is what actually happened whether we like it or not. Historians don't rewrite history either. They describe what actually happened unless they are fiction writers.

Does anybody blame Richard Nixon's scandal-plagued presidency on Lyndon Johnson? There's only one person to blame for this current dumpster fire and his name isn't Biden.

I also blame all the republicans in congress who have enabled him, and all the voters who voted for him.

Exactly. Especially all the GOP congress people. They have repeated his lies and supported all his corrupt shenanigans. If they would stand up to him and do their actual jobs, things could be much different. But they are just as corrupt as he is. F-in GOP sucks.

Yup. The whole lot is corrupt AF.

Oh, so we're threatening to blow up Oman now. An ally. That's some really awesome diplomacy. The entire Gulf region is rethinking their relationship with the US after this debacle with Iran. What a stupid mess. What on Earth convinced Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Rubio to think war with Iran was a good idea given geographical realities and rapid changes in technology and warfare today? Even a glance in Ukraine's direction lets everyone know cheap drones have changed things forever. Putin learned the hard way that wars of choice are a bad idea in 2026. Does no one in the White House pay attention to anything? Everything about this mess was entirely predictable to anyone with more than two brain cells.

+1. I consider myself pretty damn uneducated to global politics, but STILL could have done a better job, by gathering and LISTENING to, experts. Trump would never consider anything like that at all apparently.

I don’t know if it’s the same Dr because I can’t access your article but Dr. Bruce Davidson has spoken a number of times about Trump having had a stroke.

It is the same doctor.

Someone as weak and awful as Trump would have never stood a chance at being elected two decades ago when our major political parties weren't weakened to their knees by corruption like they are now. We better fix this mess quickly before someone worse than Trump comes along to take advantage of our political weakness.

Biden shouldn't be blamed. He was just an elderly lifelong politician who took advantage of his once chance to be elected president. Those who pushed his nomination in 2020 and therefore putting us in the vulnerable position of having an incumbent who wasn't viable for a second term deserve a portion of blame along with the MAGA idiots. Weakness breeds further weakness and the very weak state the opposition to Trump party was in due to having an elderly unpopular incumbent made it possible for someone as weak and awful as Trump to win. You can try and rewrite history all you'd like but this is what happened.

LBJ bowed out gracefully without embarrassing himself and his country 7 months prior to the election. Biden bowed out in disgrace 3 months prior to election day. No comparison.

US history tends to be clear eyed on assigning blame and allocating credit.

The Biden legacy is going to be a positive one overall, principally due to the skillful way the US maneuvered its way out of the Covid-triggered economic shock suffered by nearly the entire world except the US. There was inflation in America, yes, but it wasn't nearly as bad as in Europe, Japan and other first world countries. This is partly due to the Federal Reserve, which is independent from the White House, and partly due to executive actions. The American population just does not appreciate how much pain and suffering was spared from them at that time, which is why this did not register for the 2024 election. But historians and economists will record it in the history books.

The Trump legacy will be causing entirely avoidable global instability, both economic and military. Tariffs and petrol/fertilizer/naphta/other critical petrol by-products have shaken, and will shake, the global order and cause pain and suffering to millions of people - most of them not American. Again, the American population does not realize the extent of the damage, since those dying or losing their livelihoods are outside the US.
But this will destroy American reputation abroad and shift influence and power to China.

Trump's legacy will probably be among the worst of any US President in history, and that's me being objective.

They will recognize that the low approval relates to the maga brainwashing. They will laugh at the MAGAs preoccupation with Hunter Biden and pizza shops and vaccines and whatever other insanity they will be able to dig up. I’m doubting that the country they will exist in 100 years, so the history books will be written in mandarin, but Trump will probably be the patron saint of China for destroying their only global competition.
