The 79-year-old US President made the unusual admission during an appearance on Fox and Friends, just a day after hosting European leaders, including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the White House. Linking his legacy to global diplomacy, Trump remarked that if he succeeds in brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia, it might help secure him a place in the afterlife.

    We require the headline match the article, looks like they might have changed it up on you.

    Current headline reads:

    “Pictures of Trump’s Swollen Ankles and Hands Boost Health Rumours After He Admits He’s ‘Not Doing Well’”

    Please make it match up or we’ll have to remove it.

      Is there a time limit if they change the headline after it’s posted? It’s also not uncommon to have an A and B headline that different people see, when they’re both correct.

        It varies, if a headline is obviously manipulated by the user, I remove it with the note and when they fix it, I’ll restore it.

        In cases like this where the mismatch is substantially the same, I’ll post up the warning and give them 8 hours or so to fix it, then remove it.

        I figure people have to, you know, work and sleep and stuff.

        OTOH, after a few hours, if they’re making other posts and comments, it’s clear they aren’t reaponding to the warning and I’ll remove it.

        I’m not a mod, but if that a site was showing different content to different people, perhaps an archived version of the article that matches the headline of the post would be necessary as the link so that there’s no confusion.

    May he stand bared before the gods, with nothing but his soul and his actions to bear testament to his worth.

    The headline is entirely inaccurate.

    From the article:

    Donald Trump has sparked fresh health concerns after confessing he is ‘not doing well’ when it comes to his chances of getting into heaven.

      Satan: Holy shit, we’re going to need to make some renovations to match this guy’s punishment. Tell the daemons in Cocytus we need something between Antenora and Ptolomaea.

      In a way it’s more interesting that Trump has some awareness that he’s not a good guy.

      People are so desperate to hear that either Trump or Putin is about to die, these stories have been popping up every few months for a decade or more.

        At this point, they have like a 5-7% chance of dying every year based on actuary tables. So dying at any point at that age isn’t remarkable or unlikely. But there’s like a 0-8 year range where it’s likely to occur based on that.

    Oh if only there was cosmic justice waiting for people like him. Unfortunately he gets to live the life he wants and never has to answer for anything. Double unfortunately he’s little more than a cancer cell of a much larger disease that won’t die with him.

    I’d rather him experience some level of fucking consequences for once in his life. But for the sake of humanity I will also accept his health failing.
