The 80-year old senile moron says he might be in power for 8 or 9 more years! Given his declining health and mind, Trump thinks he can pull a Putin-Medvedev, whereby he installs a hand puppet in the presidency (Vance or Rubio maybe) and uses his hand to make them function.
It pains me to see an old man degrade in public, but this man deserves mockery because of his narcissistic arrogance and hateful disposition. When you set the bar too high, your own fall from grace can't be too smooth.

Trump Is Fading and His Staff Knows It: Political Guru

The Daily Beast Podcast
Tue, May 5, 2026
President Donald Trump is unraveling further by the day, political expert David Rothkopf argues.
Appearing on The Daily Beast Podcast, Rothkopf said that the 79-year-old president’s waning mental faculties are no secret, and that some MAGA supporters are considering jumping off the Trump train altogether.

“You know, we’ve got lots of stories in the news about Iran and about the Supreme Court and about elections and stuff like that. And then there’s the James Comey thing,” Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles. “But the one thing about Trump that’s happening every day—and you’re putting your finger on it here—is he’s fading. He’s failing. He’s fading physically. He’s fading mentally. He can’t handle things.”
“He said in an interview, ‘I’d do Iran over again.’ I don’t think he even remembers what he did in the first place. He doesn’t know how to get out of what he’s doing in Iran,” the political analyst continued.

Rothkopf highlighted the near-octogenarian’s bizarre response to the Supreme Court’s takedown of his tariffs, which was to raise tariffs on the European Union by 25 percent. Because, as he said on Friday, the bloc “was not adhering to the agreement that we have.”
Trump’s political numbers have also been a “disaster,” Rothkopf said, with his approval rating continuing to plummet amid his highly unpopular war on Iran. The latest ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found the president’s approval rating sinking to 37 percent while disapproval climbed to 62 percent.
“You see a lot of people now starting to say, ‘I have to start hedging my bets. This guy is not long for this world,’ you know. Or ‘Is it going to be JD, or is it going to be Marco?’ People are talking about that a lot. Or ‘How are the Democrats going to succeed him?’ Or... ‘It’s the end of MAGA,’” Rothkopf continued.
“I think we need to put all of this together and say, you know, we’re watching him dissolve before our very eyes,” he added.
When reached for comment, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle gave the Daily Beast a frequently recycled statement: “David Rothkopf is a far-left loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
The state of the president’s health throughout his second term has been a concern for many Americans, given his slurred speech, public sleeping fits, and aggressive late-night Truth Social rants.
In April alone, Trump posted on his social media platform between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. on 25 of 30 nights, averaging about 18 posts a day for a total of 565 posts.
The president’s posting sprees have included everything from a blasphemous AI-generated photo depicting him as Jesus Christ to apocalyptic threats that “a whole civilization will die tonight,” leading some of his closest allies to express worry that Trump is “clearly not well.”
Aside from his mental faculties, the Daily Beast has also extensively reported on Trump’s array of physical health concerns, from his deeply bruised hands and surprise neck rash to his bulging cankles.

'I Guarantee You': Adam Kinzinger Makes A Big Prediction About Trump And His Supporters
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Monday predicted that President Donald Trump, who is wading in historic levels of unpopularity, will fall deep into the abyss in the near future.
“I guarantee you something, and I know this: In five or 10 years, there won’t be a single person left in this country that will ever admit to supporting Donald Trump, except for those that have their stuff all over Twitter,” said Kinzinger in an interview with MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace.
Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic since 2020, backed his prediction up by citing the rate of Trump’s “spiraling” thus far in his second term, adding that it’s “just going to increase.”
Wallace teed up Kinzinger’s appearance on her program by highlighting a clip of Trump declaring that he was “much younger” than those in a Florida crowd on Friday. She also pointed to the president taking to social media on Friday to share an AI-generated image of himself shirtless in a bathing suit while kicking back with Cabinet members in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
On the same day, he also made other bizarre posts, including one showing first lady Melania Trump flashing a smile during his post-dinner shooting press conference and another showing him with a handful of Uno “wild” cards.
“Eventually, people are going to be like, ‘We’ve had enough,’” said Kinzinger of the president’s “spiraling” behavior.
Kinzinger — one of two Republicans who served on the House select committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack — said that while he can say “we told you so” to Trump supporters due to the case the panel made against the president years ago, he said he remains “heartbroken” that viewers of Fox News (which didn’t air its hearings live) are told that everything is “fine” and “great” with Trump, especially in the midst of his unpopular Iran war.
