    But yes with all the hamberders you would think. And he’s 78, only about 2.5 years younger than Biden. According to actuary tables, roughly 5.3% chance of dying in the next year (7.1% for Biden).

    I suspect if you had his actual medical records you would find his chances are significantly higher. he’s not exactly lived a a clean lifestyle. His diet is absolute dogshit (Pizza, burgers, shoe-leather steak with ketchup. Light on the greens.) he lacks any meaningufl excercise (he golfs; but mostly he drives around in a golf cart and hops out for a quick swing… when he’s actually ‘playing’ at all. Mostly he gets the course staff to cheat for him.) He’s obese, too.

    we know that the WH doctor during Trump’s presidency was handing out hard drugs like candy; and he probably did more than his share of coke. (and no, I don’t mean the diet coke…)

    The only reason he’s still alive, probably, is access to amazing medical care. (which he mostly ignores…)

    Biden’s diet is better, he’s active. he’s not obese. and he has that same medical care.

      Oh absolutely, those numbers are extremely rough and not specific to any person. Nothing like being rich to help extend your life. And things can just be unfair sometimes too. Some people do seemingly everything wrong health wise and got very lucky, and some do everything right and get unlucky. I would be surprised if Biden didn’t live longer than Trump.
