their followers for a transition from Trump to Vance. For so many RW media to openly acknowledge Trump's decline suggests that, behind the scenes, in the inner circles of power around Trump, discussions and decisions about replacing him are being made.

A Vance administration will be just as bad for the country and the world, if not worse.

I think that he has a fatal diagnosis that has been kept secret from the public. He knows that his body is failing, even if he won't acknowledge mental failure. Even someone obsessed with his own strength against disease, as he bragged about when he got covid, has to recognize that his body is declining when his ankles are swollen and hands are turning purple due to heart disease.

Covid has long term effects on the vascular system as well as on vital organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys. It's worse for older people. Trump was around 75 when he had covid. His living style was unhealthy. He would just naturally decline somewhat with age, but the slide downward has accelerated for him after his bout with covid.

That certainly makes sense, he's creating a horrific mess that he's expecting the rest of the world to clean up - is this what he wants to be remembered for??

I think that he doesn't care about the consequences of his actions as long as he's not hurt by them. It's worse now with his mental decline because he doesn't seem to even know what he's doing or saying anymore.
