When I look at Donald Trump, I see an overweight septuagenarian (BMI 29.6 approx) who isn't known for exercising to any great degree, and who'd look every year of his age without that infamous comb-over*.
Ronald Reagan was about the same age at his inauguration, but at least he kept up a fair degree of physical fitness through horse-riding, etc. (His intellectual fitness for the role was of course debatable, but that's not the issue here.)
I'm not making any firm predictions, but let's say I wouldn't be suprised, if Trump intends taking the job seriously, to see him forced to step down through stress and/or ill-health somewhere after the half-way point in his first term.
*I seem to remember his pledging many months ago to get shot of this were he to win the Presidency. Watch that space ....
"The chess-board is the world ..... the player on the other side is hidden from us ..... he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance."
(He doesn't let you resign and start again, either.)
