I suspect Trump has hearing loss and cannot fully hear women’s vocal pitch anymore. This happened with my own father with his dementia.

Trump's circling the drain. I'd be shocked if he makes it through the next 4 years without basically "retiring" and handing over to Vance. They probably hope he can so that there can be some handover at the next primaries rather than Vance have to be sworn in.

Can anyone familiar with US law enlighten me - if Vance takes over as President after stepping up from VP, does that count as one of his two terms? Or no.

If Vance assumes the presidency before 2 years and one day after Trumps inauguration, it counts as his first term. If he takes up the presidency after that, it counts as '0' and he can have two terms after.

So that would make 1/20/27 the golden number? I mean I would never say I hope the president dies right this minute, alone, in pain, and afraid, because that would be terrible, but also I should never say I hope the president dies on or before 1/20/27 so that Vance's chance at two full terms is ruined, because that would also be terrible but also correct?

u/LittleLion_90 Feb 28 '25

Correct, and i totally understand you would never say such a thing!

I'm not so generous, alone and in a lot of pain for a year, but I suspect his syphilis has caught up to him

If dude didn't spend some of those millions on antibiotics we are all doomed lol.

u/Joedancer5 Mar 01 '25

You know him, he knows more than the Drs., hugely more, in fact he needs to be awarded Dr. of the year for all of his achievements! Just drink a little bleach and your syphilis magically goes away!🤣🤣

I think sleepy Joe would laugh his ass off if Trump bites the bullet before him🤣

Hey thanks for the reply, was exactly the concise answer I was hoping for.

God help us. That's one of the big reasons I didn't vote for Trump this time. I am afraid he'll die (old age or assassination) and then Vance will be president!! I do NOT want that. I'm from Ohio. Vance is a straight up liar.

u/LittleLion_90 Mar 03 '25

Vance is a straight up liar

I agree with this; but you don't think Trump is as big a liar as well?

1

u/driver8rws Mar 03 '25

Yes. He is. I'm more scared of Vance though for some reason.

1

u/thewittman Mar 01 '25

He's not getting a presidency. Unless Trump cannot continue that's the only way.

u/SwimOk9629 Mar 02 '25

is this even true? I've never heard this before. what's your source on this?

1

u/LittleLion_90 Mar 02 '25

I've heard many people on Reddit say it since Trump/Vance won the presidency.

After your question it took me less than a minute to Google it and find it on Wikipedia:

It wouldn’t count as a term, but I don’t see it playing out like that. Vance seems like a man that wants to be president, but he doesn’t seem like the type of guy to get it a greasy way

u/MrRoxo Feb 28 '25

Higher pitches are the first to go

u/CautionarySnail Feb 28 '25

Yup. I had to talk low, gruff, and loud to be understood.

u/91ws6ta Mar 01 '25

He hasn't been able to hear women's voices for 50+ years.

1

u/CautionarySnail Mar 01 '25

Before, that was just run of the mill sexism. Now he can’t even hear their flattery.

u/Proper-Name5056 Feb 28 '25

It explains so much

u/horaceinkling Mar 01 '25

Wait… hearing loss is a symptom of dementia?

3

u/SugarT0ast Mar 01 '25

Not directly. It’s a symptom of aging, and can actually lead to dementia or make it worse.

2

u/Previous_Rip1942 Mar 01 '25

It can contribute greatly to dementia. I have significant hearing loss and I’m 50 yo. As I get older, it’s pretty clear how it could drive you mad. I have hearing aids and such but it’s something I’m pretty worried about

2

u/CautionarySnail Mar 01 '25

It somewhat goes hand in hand with it. I’ll post a study link.

My theory is that our hearing is kind of a constant form of brain exercise as we sort out meaning from all the frequencies we hear. Losing that, much like losing other forms of social and sensory mental stimulation, seems to cause dementia to accelerate.

u/Previous_Rip1942 Mar 01 '25

I have a similar issue. I have a birth defect in one ear that has my frequency response all messed up. Add to that hearing loss from loud environments and I have significant hearing loss. I’ve paid more money than I’d like to admit for hearing aids, but the biggest improvement came when Apple created the hearing aid software for the AirPod pro 2s. They ain’t the prettiest option, but they get the job done for a (literal) fraction of what I paid for my hearing aids.

u/CautionarySnail Mar 01 '25

It’s a start. And certainly better than nothing.

u/luedsthegreat1 Mar 02 '25

How do they handle noisy environments?

I drive a school bus and the road and engine noises make it super hard to hear my kids (62M with lots of exposure to loud environments over the years and hearing loss to go with it)

u/Dick-in-a-fan Mar 02 '25

I have a hearing problem that limits my ability to hear bass tones in both ears. My hearing aids are calibrated so I can hear men.

u/CautionarySnail Mar 02 '25

Hearing loss is so complex and differs so much from person to person! Glad you were able to get a hearing aid to correct for that.

he couldn’t hear vance
