Donald Trump has a new nickname. Dozy Don, after struggling to keep his eyes open in the Oval Office. This is preferable, I suppose, to being called Dirty Don, following the congressional release of a trove of Jeffrey Epstein emails in which the late paedophile financier wrote, “I know how dirty Donald is,” but suggests less vigour and may be more wounding to the US President’s amour-propre.
The US President’s superhuman vigour is the stuff of legend. Having witnessed the 2020 election campaign unfold, when Trump caught Covid-19 in the final stretch and came roaring back pumped on Regeneron, I honestly believe he could have won if there had been a bit more time to regain his mojo. As with last year’s [assassination attempt in July](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/man-found-guilty-of-attempted-assassination-of-trump-3935228?ico=in-line_link), it was as if nothing could floor him.
That he coulda, shoulda have won in 2020 remains a source of grief and fury for Trump. But the four years in the wilderness have brought him closer to turning 80 next July, less than halfway through his term of office. Whether he can make it to the finish line in 2028 with his health and vigour intact is in serious doubt. And the cover-up of Biden’s incapacity has made voters more alert to the danger of pretending he can.
This problem could be more manageable if Trump’s advancing age were not matched by growing political frailty. The two are entwined. The “lame duck” label he has fought to avoid by sheer will and threats to unseat or destroy any Republican critics can’t be wished away by magical thinking as his political power ebbs.
Trump can hide his cankles behind the Resolute desk, slather make-up on his hand bruises, refuse to disclose why he had an MRI scan and have his White House doctor boast that he has “the cardiac age of a 65-year-old”. But every voter in America knows their 80-year-old grandfather is not as vigorous or as switched on as they used to be.

2028? I doubt his health will last through 2026.

“intact”

What are you guys talking about. He did so well on his cognitive test that they immediately ordered an MRI.

With the release of the Epstein files he might not make it to 2028 with his testes in tact.

This is potentially a way for trump to avoid any court appearances or time in prison for all the crimes that he may have committed. If he is not mentally competent (in public) he gets off Scott free.

He is unlikely to live that long, never mind ”with his health intact”.

Health includes mental health. Trump has never been intact.

I hope we make him feel as good about the rest of us, as we do about him, also that what he’s done for our healthcare system benefits him in the same way, with that I don’t think he’s got too good of a chance.

The media failed to note his health was bad before he was elected. No they chose to focus solely on Biden.

Listen what’s alarming about this is the trump die hard are now pivoting to more extremist right views and the guys they’re looking at make even trump look like the best case scenario

We have eyes. Far be it for me to give Trump advice, but he needs to get out of the public eye since it is unmistakable that he is going downhill fast. He won’t, though. He craves the spotlight too much.

This is why I don’t like the death penalty.Life imprisonment without parole is far more justice for people like Trump.

He’s not making it with his health intact now.

Fingers firmly crossed he doesn’t make it to 2026

With no due respect to Trump…
Here’s hoping.

The main problem isn’t really his age.
It’s his criminality, his relentless dishonesty and his toxic narcissism.

I have doubts about next July – let alone 2028.

He is 79yrs old. So yeah, statistically his health won’t make it.

He had the best MRI result since George Washington did this test.

Watching Trump slouch in his chair, rub his eyes and nap on and off for 20 minutes (yes, [the ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/08/trump-sleeping-oval-office/)[*Washington Post*](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/08/trump-sleeping-oval-office/)[ timed it](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/08/trump-sleeping-oval-office/)) at a White House event announcing lowering prices for weight-loss drugs this month was a reminder that Dozy Don, like “Sleepy Joe” Biden, can’t win the ultimate race – the one against time.
