My sister's father in law died of a heart attack last month after having no previous related problems and he was only in his late 50s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 528 Posted February 19, 2023 I still remember the days when Gerald Ford was the longest lived U.S President and Carter and Bush Sr. were catching up and hoping they would break the record, but thinking that both would fall short especially knowing the health issues they had (Carter with cancer, Bush Sr. wheelchair bound and suffering from vascular parkinsonism). How wrong I was. Bush Sr. broke the record and lived to the age of 94 and Carter broke the record again a few months later and just kept going and going, 95, 96, 97, 98. After a certain point I was genuinely surprised as to how he kept on going. Though it's pretty clear he's not making it to 100, Jimmy Carter has exceeded all DL expectations and has secured his place in DL history as one of it's greatest immortals. Also, the record of the longest lived U.S President is pretty much set in stone at this point, it would take Joe Biden 18 years to even reach the age of 98. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only one who could possibly beat him would be Obama but he'd have to reach a similar age to Carter, which I think we'll have to wait and see how viable that is given that it would be over 35 years away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W Bush may have a chance. He seems in good health for someone who is 76 and clearly has decent genes with both parents living into their 90s.

All of them (excluding peanut man) probably have at least five years left in them, but Clinton's frequent heart issues and trips to the hospital give the impression that he's next for the chopping block. Plus he's married to Hillary, so there's a chance of suicide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Trump will be around longer than we think, apart from his weight there isnt much wrong with him (physically speaking that is). Fred Trump lived to be 94 and Mary Trump reached 88, so he's got good enough genes. Would be interesting to see if he'll actually lose weight when medically advised to do so, given that he is clearly smarter than all doctors.

Exactly my point - he was well known for his excessive smoking habit before and during his presidency (and likely after - although that's harder to confirm). Unlike Bush who may have smoked at the WH, but had also been known to dabble in both snuff and chewing tobacco, but who I can't find having smoked significantly since. Bush certainly drinks though (as does Obama). Especially with Obama's smoking levels, I'd be concerned for lung cancers more than anything else (and a tie between some smoking/dipping/chewing related cancer for Bush). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
