Keeps him busy, it does. So, he plans for a future he will never see. It keeps his mind off his mortality.
Lots of people do that. Sadly, a few of them become leaders of nations.
He doesn't care about what happens five years from now. He thinks he'll live to be 120 year old and relishes the wealth and power he dreams of.
Won't happen, Donald. Like me, you're approaching the end of your life. I'm almost 81 years old now. Think about it. Do something memorable that makes the world better. You'll be glad you did. Otherwise, you'll just die without ever reaching any reachable goal. Be remembered well, rather that being remembered for your greed and power-seeking.
Just some advice. Take it or don't. I won't care after I'm dead. That's the end of me, and it will be the end of you, too.

(1,079 posts)Mao was responsible for up to 80 million lives, Stalin was responsible for at least 20 million lives, and Hitler at least 50 million lives. These are the "strong" men that Trump admires.

(351 posts)IMO if you can avoid the implant for 10-15 years, there will not be a US Federal government who can make that happen.
It all depends upon who will be around to pick up the pieces and how interested they are in authoritarianism

(351 posts)The good news is Trump WILL NOT be buried in Grant's Tomb. Or any facsimile thereof...
His face will never appear on Mt Rushmore
His riches will likely be used to pay victims of his crimes against women.
And miles and miles of ketchup stains will be washed away.

It just makes my heart sing
when I remember he's dead.
I'm slightly younger than you, but not by much. I embrace whatever time I have remaining and I'm as kind as possible to everyone in my orbit. I'm totally satisfied with the life I've lived and I'm not afraid of my death. I've made peace with death. I haven't made peace with tRump and those like him, and those who support him. My goodwill can only be stretched so far, right? 😉
tRump is definitely afraid of dying and being forgotten. That's why he's naming everything he can after himself. He's lived a horrible life, done horrible things to people, and still believes that makes him a "winner." He couldn't be more wrong. What he fails to admit to himself, is there will be exponentially more people celebrating his death than mourning it.
I don't believe in heaven or hell. I don't presume to know what happens after death, so it's possible I'm wrong about an afterlife. What will be, will be, but I'll meet it like everything I did in life: head on, and with purpose. I hope. 😉
Thanks for the thought provoking post.

It's true he's not very concerned about what the NPC's happen to think.
