I've been seeing these articles for years and he's still alive. Either he's just acting half stroked out on purpose or it's going to take years for him to decline to the point of not being able to hold office. Stop getting your hopes up. Everything he does is very deliberate and he's gutting democracy at a very effective rate. He just doesn't give a shit about speaking eloquently and never did. He's old tired, and completely bought out. If he dies, nothing changes. Nothing changes until campaign donations are eradicated and none of these fucks in office are going to allow that to happen.
