There's a lot floating where this guy lives. People are eating their Wheaties I guess.

One step closer to cyberpunk 2077

The way it's phrased in the quotes, this seems more like a reference to their ridiculous conspiracy theory that he won in 2020 and is thus technically the president today, rather than an assertion that he'll run in 2028 even if he wins this year.

Very optimistic to believe he'd live that long in the first place. He'd be lucky to live through the next one, even. He's pretty old.

Nevermind being actually elected, or staying out of prison.

He will live to 125, at minimum. This is our life now.
