S. Jay Olshansky is a professor at the University of Chicago and is an expert on the effects presidency has on aging.

He sat down with Newsweek recently to discuss how Donald Trump is likely to age during his time as POTUS if he makes it through two full terms. Because Trump entered the presidency as the oldest person ever to take the office, the effects on his health are likely to be more drastic than for others who've held the seat.

"Because Trump is 71, his risk of death is significant'y higher than if he was in office at 61 or 51, there's no question. His risk of death today is double what it would have been had he entered at 64."

Olshansky credits Trump's wealth and the incredible healthcare given to each POTUS with extending 45's life expectancy. The average man with his physical stats has a life expectancy of about 84 years. Olshansky puts Trump's at about 87.7. So, in Olshansky's opinion, Trump is likely to live long enough to serve out two terms, it's just that he'll likely look very different when he leaves office.

Olshansky does have one piece of advice for Trump, though, if he wants to survive what he presumably hopes would be two full terms:

"He'll have to lose weight if he's going to last eight years."

Olshansky worked with Newsweek and a digital aging app to predict what Trump might look like at the end of eight years in office. They factored in more than the normal aging process. Olshansky says the stress, loneliness and isolation of being POTUS have to factor into it.

But there's more.

"Anger is also a health factor. Trump does strike me as being angry a lot, which is a powerful factor in aging. Trump may be in a situation that makes him angrier than he's ever been before, that's not good for the body."

This is what Trump may look like at the end of his presidency according to Newsweek.

Another age progression.

Once Twitter saw the images, the comments came pouring in.

Some took issue with the current portrait that was used for the progression.

Alyssa offered up her own age progression.

More than a few people took issue with the skin tone of the progression. Here's one.

Heather wonders if this is really news.

Several people were less concerned with what Trump might look like...

Googlybear offered up this age progression that pretty much can't be topped.

Outrage After Video Captures ICE Pepper-Spraying Protester Directly In The Face While He's Pinned Down

Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis continue to grow in the weeks since an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Now people are crying foul after a different agent was filmed spraying a man directly in the face with a chemical irritant while he was pinned to the ground by two other ICE agents.

In south Minneapolis, near West 28th Street and Blaisdell Avenue, agents pinned a person to the ground and sprayed a bright orange chemical irritant directly into their face. The clashes between federal agents and local residents erupted shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the detention of two people near the intersection drew dozens of protesters who began shouting at officers.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Spouting Ridiculous Theory About Why Critics 'Never' Call Trump 'Dumb'

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was dragged after he offered the ridiculous theory that critics "never" call President Donald Trump "dumb"—even after all of the criticism Trump has received for outrageous and uninformed remarks he made at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump "appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times" during his rambling speech to the world elite, per one reporter, a claim that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied. He also claimed Europeans call him "daddy"—what?—and said the Swiss, who already largely speak German, would be speaking German were it not for the U.S.

Gen Z Sparks Debate After Deciding Which Common Millennial Name Is The New 'Karen'

We've all heard the name popularly assigned to women who are a nuisance in public, make a scene, demand to see the manager, and absolutely refuse to accept responsibility for anything: Karen.

Since around 2018, when the name was established as an insult, thousands of videos have gone viral that feature angry women in coffee shops, disgruntled that they have to wait in line, women refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, women making racist and derogatory comments to people of color in public spaces, and much more.
