This whole thing is starting to remind me of the USSR in the 80s. You know... that time in between Leo Brezhnev's death and whenever Gorby took over.
You had that string of geezers in their 70s or 80s who came in, lasted a few months, and then they would suddenly drop out of sight. Press releases would be issued, saying that they were doing well, and then they're suddenly dead and the next geezer is rolled into office. Rinse & repeat until they finally did the smart thing and let the younger Gorby take his turn in office.
Obviously we have already seen the geezers line up in this years election. Now we're getting the conflicting medical reports. Business as usual.... Soviet style.
