Thanks, Onion, that does make me feel better.

    For those who don’t want to click away, here are some of the highlights:

    Published: January 23, 2013

    Whenever you’re feeling low, just remember that I, Donald Trump, will be dead in roughly 15 to 20 years.

    Biologically speaking, I, the host of NBC’s The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, have no more than two decades left to live. In fact, right now I’m just 10 years away from reaching the average lifespan of an American male.

    Sure, I’ll have a grand, opulent funeral that will be talked about and broadcast extensively, and all the news segment retrospectives on my life will probably be obnoxious to watch and listen to, and will very likely make you angry. But just think: all of those segments will end with a picture of my blustery, self-important face and the dates 1946–2031 printed beneath it. Or maybe 1946–2032. Or, who knows, maybe earlier!

    And if my death in 15 or 20 years feels like it’s too far in the future to wash away your blues, you can take heart knowing that I’ll start to physically and mentally deteriorate well before then. Why, by 2020, I, a man who recently tried to extort the sitting president of the United States to release his college and passport records, might even begin to show signs of serious and unavoidable decline in mental and physical faculties, and doesn’t that just perk your spirits right up?

    The article was published January 23, 2013, so that was almost 12 years ago.

      Honestly, he’s going downhill fast. Not that he was ever very uphill. But still, his faculties clearly aren’t improving.

          If there’s anything worse than the words “President Trump” it’s “President Vance”

            Would MAGA in the government and MAGA voters solidify around James Bowman*, or would they tear themselves apart trying to be Donald’s successor?




            * MAGA don’t allow preferred names, right?

                  Given how consolidated the market has become? I doubt Clear Channel has any trouble corralling their horses.

    Reminding myself that I’ll most probably outlive Trump and Putin provides me happiness.

      It’s a great reason to keep on living. I was thrilled when Kissinger finally croaked

        The fact that I don’t have to breathe the same air as that piece of shit, still fills me with joy. Same with Rumsfeld though not to the same degree. Waiting to line up to piss on Dick Cheney’s grave.

      I keep saying that Trumps greatest virtue is that he is mortal and will die. It is amazing for my mood.

      IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT

      I.
      Terezin is full of beauty.
      It’s in your eyes now so clear
      And through the street the tramp
      Of many marching feet I hear.
      In the ghetto at Terezin.
      It looks that way to me,
      Is a square kilometer of earth
      Cut off from the world that’s free.

      II.
      Death, after all, claims everyone,
      You find it everywhere.
      It catches up with even those
      Who wear their noses in the air.
      The whole, wide world is ruled
      With a certain justice, so
      That helps perhaps to sweeten
      The poor man’s pain and woe.
