ive always laughed at the "look at what the job does to you" pictures that presidents have posted, because there's a bit of confirmation bias baked into the cake. All presidents have been men in the age range where 4-8 years they are naturally greying and visibly aging. so it's not anywhere near all the job. but that job really does take a shit load out of you, then the continued protocols you have to follow even after leaving office. it's a lifetime responsibility for sure.
which makes me wonder how Trump will deal with secret service when he's done, he surely wont like that type of presence on him permanently.
hmmm.... tbh, I dont see him returning to his role as chairman of the Trump Organization. if he gets reelected in 2020, he'll be 78 by the time he leaves office, and even if his heart hasnt exploded yet from all the fast food and coke by then, he'll have little (life) energy left anyway.
if he loses his reelection bid in 2020, or gets impeached, he'll leave the public as a disgraced, failed figure and will either stick to his golf courses, or keep on holding rallies for his core supporters as some sort of toxic political relic of the past.
btw: a good counterexample imho is George W. Bush - he didnt age too much during his years in office, and only aged visibly a couple of years later. welp, I guess if it's actually Karl and Dick who carry the burden of making the decisions, you can leave the office unscathed.
