I'm honestly curious how long Trump is gonna make it. Realistically he's probably running on a bunch of drugs at this point. No shade here, I assume Biden and maybe even Obama were the same. How do you work that much and not sleep? The answer is drugs!

Even if they are "relaxing" the president has a lot of stress, the job physically ages you. Trump being on a golf course is still probably stressing out even if he doesn't give a shit about the US; whether it's about how his personal investments will work out or about his personal vendettas the job is stressful.

Trump was also severely stressed while out of office due to the pressures of the lawsuits he was under. With 12 years of stress the man may be 79 currently, but he's probably way older physically. I don't see him making it through this term and the only way he's made it this far is drugs and a good pharmacist.

actually, the answer is golfing instead of working :)

Obama was called the golfer in chief by Gerald Celente... and Trump golfed more in his first term than Obama did in two.

Before 9/11 all Bush did was golf. The country was better off for it.

Doesn't stress you out when you don't do anything.

He is a psychopath. Possibly the most psychopathic man to ever be president. He doesn't feel the pain and stress of being president, he thrives on it.

Lincoln would probably have died in his second term if he wasn't assassinated. Have you seen his before and after photos from being in office? He went from being a healthy looking person to being an old man in just 4 years. The stress of being in such a dangerous time for the united states really, really took its toll.

I didn't see that kind of aging in Trump. The guy is such a fucking psychopath that any aging that happened was going to happen anyway.
