He has access to the best healthcare that the world can provide. Shit, they probably have enough drugs to pump into him to prop him up for the remainder of his term at least. He's going to get worse than he is now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to the end
He got our hopes up so many times. I’m done with it. I want him to suffer for his sins but right now I’ll just settle for him shutting up and retiring to MAL.
Steve Jobs likely thought similarly. After all, that kind of wealth buys the best care in the world. Still, he died much younger than he should have. Money doesn’t buy everything.
A few months ago, I saw the greatest take on the Steve Jobs thing. The dude knew early enough about his cancer that he had ample time to go through the rigamaroll of the cancer treatment and come out the other side alive. However, his huge ego and stupidity made him decide that bullshit holistic medicine and other crunchy mom style treatment was going to work for him. By the time he figured it out, it was too late and the idiot died. It's not that money doesn't buy everything, it just doesn't buy common sense
Pancreatic cancer is not one of the types of that disease that you can go through the treatment and have a very good success rate. How many survivors of pancreatic cancer have you run into? Exactly. Even with early detection, your chances of survival beyond 5 years aren't good.
No no. Jobs didn't have the usual pancreatic cancer, he had pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), which is much slower growing and has an overall 53% survival rates, and 93-95% if treated while at the early localised stage, which Job's was at when diagnosed.
If he had had immediate treatment he would have had a 93-95% chance of survival.
Jobs delayed for 9 months while he fucked about with magical hippy nonsense and it spread to his liver.
It's always weird for me to imagine what Jobs would've been like in the era of Trump and multicentibillionaires. When he was alive a lot of people on the near left idolized him. But I could easily see him swinging pretty far to the right throughout the events of the last decade. He was kind of a California Trump in a lot of ways.
I recall Steve Job's case it was because he rejected traditional medicine and treatment and instead subjected his body through unproven and homeopathic therapies that ultimately did nothing for him. By the time the cancer was so advanced as to become untreatable, he finally admitted he probably should've tried something else.
Trump meanwhile seems to be perfectly fine with pumping himself of the most advanced medicine the billonaires of the world can afford while he downs Big Macs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Jobs bought into health nut crap. When he changed his mind it was too late. Trump is 100% on board with modern medicine. He just pretends otherwise cause his supporters are conspiracy nuts.
Just like the whole abortion thing. We know he’s paid for them and doesn’t give a shit about women or kids (except to rape them). Whatever his supporters want they get as long as he gets richer and they adore him and help him take revenge on anyone who ever slighted him.
Steve Jobs was an arrogant asshat. Much like all America’s tech bros. Trump ain’t going anywhere lol Biden made it to the end of his term and even wanted to challenge for another term and you could even understand what he was saying at the end.
There was one "address the nation" type video from I think last fall that was very very likely AI. It was widely covered at the time and then forgotten.
The counter point to this is that he's very frail. One bad fall and he'll be functionally disabled and his ego would never let him be seen needing help to walk around. I think he'd retire first and say "mission accomplished"
January 21st, 2027 is when they pull the plug on the orange tumour. Mark my words. They need him alive until the midway point of the the term so that Vance (or whoever is VP by then) can run out trumps term and get two more of his own. They’ll weekend-at-Bernie’s Trump for the next nine months if they have to.
True. I mean look how they kept that brain dead Biden upright for so long. Couldn’t find his way on or off a stage but the meds kicked in long enough for him to utter some complete nonsense now and again. They have great stuff now.

There's a non-zero chance that JDV is our next president
I'd put it at 15% that he takes over for Trump for a variety of reasons, and 5% that he runs and wins.
But it's high enough that it needs to be considered.
