As long as he hasn’t snuffed it yet… Trump will die of bird flu. See, Trump knew that Americans are superficial, and a trivial thing would decide the election. So he had chickens infected with bird flu, so there would be fewer chickens and, critically, fewer eggs. With a depleted supply of eggs, prices rose. Trump seized on the expensive price of eggs, campaigned on it, and won the election. But by some accident, he will become infected by the very variant he caused to be unleashed. (If anyone repeats this, then you can say, ‘People are saying…’ 😉 ) ---

The website linked below is run by a doctor who’s interested in presidents’ medical histories and has written an 800 page book on Lincoln. He thinks that Trump has a lot of symptoms of systemic amyloidosis, which can cause heart failure and indirectly affect brain function, mental acuity and attention span: [President Donald Trump.47: Health and Medical History](https://sickpresidents.com/prez/g47.htm#i200) He notes that Trump’s medical reports show that he has untreated anemia, which could be caused by the systemic amyloidosis: [Donald Trump: Anemia](https://sickpresidents.com/prez/z_x47_trump_anemia_g.htm) ---
