A majority of Americans don't believe Joe Biden will live through another term in office — but experts say it is actually Donald Trump who is less likely to survive the next four years.
That is the conclusion of professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii, who said that while gaffe-prone President Biden, 81, is older than Trump, 77, he has a better diet, exercise routine and genetics, which are three drivers of longevity.
The researchers were responsible for a controversial report during the 2020 presidential campaign in which they gave Biden a 95 percent chance of surviving until 2024 and Trump a 90 percent chance.
While they have not yet fully pronounced on the matter this time around, they gave their latest predictions in an opinion piece published earlier this month.
The experts said there was a 75 percent chance of Biden surviving to 2028, at which point he will be 85, while Trump's odds are 'slightly less favorable'. Either way, whoever wins will be the oldest President ever in history.
Professor S. Jay Olshansky, from Chicago, revealed his new life expectancy predictions for Trump and Biden in a commentary piece for The Hill. It was co-authored with Dr Bradley Willcox, a geriatrician at the University of Hawaii, who was also involved in the 2020 report.
He pointed to Trump's notorious love for fast food and soda, as well as his bad sleeping habits (once claiming he only slept a mere three hours a night).
Olshansky also highlighted that Trump's father suffered from Alzheimer's, meaning there could be a genetic risk.
Biden, by comparison, eats a healthy diet and reportedly exercises nearly every morning.
All four of Bidens younger siblings are also still alive and dementia has not previously been recorded in the family.

The looney left will do their best to make it so.
Yeah, sure, reminds me of the Yale psychologist who said that Trump was physically and mentally unfit to be President and petitioned Congress for his removal. She’s been quiet as a church mouse since Biden’s inauguration even though it is obvious from his few public encounters that we are led by a braindead, senile fool imposter.
Well heck, I guess that settles it! Darn!
Yes we can get people to live to be really old but sadly they merely are surviving and really living.
“professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii”
HAHAHAHAHA!

ROTFL!!! He’s a frigging thief and child molester.
Pure unadulterated crap. These people have no shame.
Biden will win several gold medals in the next Olympics. Everyone knows this.
“experts”
😅😂🤣🥲🥹😄😁😆😃😀😉😜🤪😛😟🥳
Looks like the “super-researchers” have begun campaigning for their boy Joe Pedo. Must be needing some “grants” or something.
Who Joe Scarborough?
You know that they don’t really believe that. They just think that they can play out another term like Week-end at Bernie’s. Impeaching Mayorkas has them a little nervous, though.
Yeah because the left knows if the can’t bear trump they will get him assassinated
I believe it. Biden is just entering his middle age.
I believe those researchers as much as I believed ALL the polls, reporting hourly, just before Hillary’s triumphant victory in 2016!
“Experts say.....” Another term for bureaucrat horse hockey.

Well They sold six feet separation and Chinese masks, didn’t they?
