   It doesn't matter that Trumpers control all areas of the federal   
   government, the shutdown is the dem's fault.   
      
      
   He might die in prison, he might die tomorrow.   Anything can happen to   
   someone who has abused their own body for over 75 years.   
      
    He's feeble, he's obese, he's lazy, he's rumoured to consume speed to stay   
   awake, drinks nothing but sugar and caffeine.   He gobbles junk food while   
   being so out of shape that he needs a golf cart to get around.   
      
   The Feeble Old Defendant Trump (Inmate Number P01135809) is 80 years old   
   and almost dead.   
      
   If Trump dies while seeking reelection, a few different things could   
   happen, depending on when he dies and how close it is to Election Day.   
      
   There's no national deadline to file to run for president of the United   
   States. Instead, filing deadlines vary depending on the state and party.   
      
   There are currently eight declared candidates, including Trump, on the GOP   
   side. If Trump were to die before January 1, 2024, there would likely be   
   other Republicans who want to jump into the race.   
      
   Many states' filing deadlines have already passed, however, meaning that   
   state election officials would need to adjust them to allow new candidates   
   to enter the race.   
      
   If Trump died during primary season — which ends in mid-June — some states   
   may postpone their scheduled primaries.   
      
   There's some precedent for this; at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,   
   more than a dozen states postponed their primaries or expanded vote-by-mail   
   options.   
      
   If Trump died after the last primary contest but before the Republican   
   National Convention, the other GOP presidential candidates would have to   
   make a case to every state delegation at the convention for why they should   
   be the party's nominee.   
      
   And if Trump secured the GOP nomination but died between the convention and   
   Election Day 2024, the RNC would convene to select another presidential   
   candidate.
