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.

“Biden, by comparison, eats a healthy diet and reportedly exercises nearly every morning.”
That exercise consists solely of getting his sorry traitorous ass out of bed.
👏🏻
“The looney left will do their best to make it so.”
My sentiments as well. It will be enabled by the deep state.
University of Chicago is going the way of Harvard.
BS...They’re smelling their own farts...
My Wife's favorite is when Biteme attempted to shake hands with no one. My favorite is when his "doctor Jill" wife was at the podium and he wandered off to the sound of an ice cream truck.
Snicker.
Johnny Rivers is so overlooked.
Probably DEI professor hires.
Here ya go!
🙄
… conclusion of professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii…
😂🤣
Diet? Really?
I hate the “a good diet is fruit and vegetables while a bad one is meat and fats” jerks.
Humans wouldn’t have made it 1,000 years eating plants.
All the weight loss programs and drugs put in the caveat “with diet and exercise “.
So if I dieted and exercised why do I need them?
I eat crap, drink beer and am only about 50 pounds heavier than I was 45 years ago.
Yes, I remember that Stephen Colbert, late night self-styled “funnyman” who did a video showing he couldn’t keep up to Ginsburg in her workout. Given the sad state of Colbert’s physique, I believed him.
I do not seem him living more than a few years at best. The clock is ticking and death will take him sooner rather than later. Like Ruth Ginsberg, he should step down now rather than stick to power. I think he’s holding on to keep Hunter out of Jail.
Are they planning to replace Biden with an AI model?
Are they planning to do away with Trump and then point to this type of article, and say, “The experts predicted this would happen”?
Yet, only Sky News has the coglioni to mention that he has ALZHEIMER’S!
And he went golfing, and got 18 holes in one.
And he doesn’t have to poop or pee, he doesn’t need to cuz he works so hard.
Who cares who lives longer? Biden is destroying America and leading us to nuclear war and to totalitarianism. That’s much more newsworthy than who will outlive who.
Don’t put it past them.
With as good as AI has been in the last half a year or so, they might actually get away with it.
“See how good he looks? Isn’t he great! Now, who are you gonna believe...us or your lying eyes?”
