Personally I think "fears" is the wrong word.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Excitement erupts over Donald Trump's declining health"
You can be afraid that something won't happen.
"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
There are very few occasions when I was genuinely happy to hear that someone had died. That only happens with people like Saddam, Ceausescu and the like. When that fucker dies I will open a bottle of champagne and dance in the streets.
I will literally drink Vodka as an ironic celebration.
No one mourns the wicked
Hulk Hogan was a win.
I still don't understand how he became president when nobody voted for him.
?
Okay then anyone who DID vote for him is a big nobody. How about that?
That one makes sense
Nah, I've wished Trump dead almost every day that I could. Let him rot.
I think it's morally okay to wish dangerous fascist dictators dead
Not only that, it's ok to wish him an unceremonious burial in an unmarked cesspool.
They say “fears”, I say “hopes”…potatoes po-tah-toez
Nah, Vance is going to be worse.
I don't see how. He doesn't have the same grip on the party and thus Congress wouldn't let him get away with as much
Also the state level shitheads are going to be more resistant to him. Anything Vance will do is more likely to require a lot more tit for tat, which while that won't stop him outright it will slow him down and probably stall or stop certain things.
It's a trade-off. He's a much more reliable puppet for Project 2025, but the Republican Party is a cult of personality held together by Trump and Vance has negative charisma. I'd take my chances with Vance.
The only fear is that it might take too long.
"Too long" as in "why isn't he dead now??"
My only fear is that it won't be painful enough.
Fair enough.
Any reason why they didn’t blend the makeup in?
I bet we can figure out what it really is if he releases the Epstein files.
Let's hope its nothing trivial
Suffer and die
The good lord needs to take his savior and MAGA can drink the kool-aid to catch a ride. Isn't that where they want to go anyways? Go with Trump, God's chosen after all. Surely you'll get in.
They would all get into hell if it were real.
If it kills him, does it really matter what it actually is?
The question is whether it's going to kill him.
There's a range of maladies common amongst octogenarians which require blood thinners that can make you bruise easily. Some benign others less so.
Well, if he has a aneurism, those blood thinners could make the difference between a better future for mankind and his survival.
Blood thinners can make minor head trauma that shears the small veins between the skull and the brain a problem. A ruptured aneurysm can kill almost anyone regardless of whether or not they're on blood thinners. The difference is venous bleeding (slow, low pressure) versus arterial bleeding (fast, high pressure).
"Health fears."
Hopes, more like...
"fears"
Come on high cholesterol do your thing!
McDonald’s! I chose you! Gotta catch em all!
Fingers crossed!
Fall in a fire
Yay! I'll be counting the remaining minutes left on his clock, with optimistic anticipation 😉💀
Good I hope that old orange fuck gets ass cancer of the mouth.
That's not a painful enough death.
My only fear is that the fascism will get worse when he dies
Depends on when Ol' Trumpie kicks the bucket. If it's in the next fear years, there's a chance to reverse all the fascism. If it's in 20 years, whole different story.
Fears of joy.
"fears"
That's a strange way to spell hopes.
🤞🤞🤞🤞
Edit: JK, I cannot imagine anything so 🍾🥂 good happening here.
