Donald Trump has said that he hopes to “survive” 2026 above all else, in a shockingly morbid reveal from the 79-year-old president.
Trump was asked during an interview with the ever-loyal One America News Network (OAN) about his “big plans” for the midterms next year, when the GOP will be fighting to retain control of the House and Senate.
Trump, who was the target of two assassination attempts in 2024, appeared to suggest he is concerned that someone may try to kill him again in the not-too-distant future.
“Yeah, I have big plans, I want to survive,” Trump said. “You look at what’s going on, it’s crazy. The rhetoric that these crazy Democrats are using is very dangerous, they made politics very dangerous.”
Trump’s fears about his own mortality follow a long-running period of concerns about the president’s health.
Trump, who is on course to be the oldest sitting U.S. president in history, is frequently spotted in public with heavy makeup covering large, unsightly bruises on his hand.
He also sports swollen cankles due to his chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in men over 70 where weakened vein valves prevent blood from circulating properly in the legs.
Trump has also become increasingly open about concerns that he may not get into heaven once he dies. This includes admitting he desperately wants to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as it would improve his chances of getting into the pearly gates.
“I’m hearing I’m not doing well,” Trump told Fox News in August. “I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”
Trump even used his fears about the afterlife as a fundraising ploy while referencing the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which he suffered a minor injury to his ear.
“I want to try and get to Heaven,” Trump’s Super PAC wrote in a message to supporters. “I certainly wasn’t supposed to survive an assassin’s bullet—but by the grace of the almighty God, I did.”
Elsewhere in his interview, Trump expressed concern that the GOP will perform poorly in the 2026 midterms, as historically the ruling party suffers significant losses in nationwide races.
“The one thing that I worry about is that, if you look over many, many years—I don’t have the numbers—but the person that wins the presidency always seems to lose the midterms,” Trump said. “I don’t know why, it’s crazy. Even presidents that did well, and there have been some.”
The GOP will be particularly vulnerable in the House, where even losing just a few seats would allow Democrats to regain control of the lower chamber. Democrats face a greater challenge in the Senate, where they must secure a net gain of four seats to retake control of the upper chamber.
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.

Its not odd. He knows if democrats win hes going to be impeached again. He thinks he’s going to lose everything. Ro Khanna was talking to Brian Tyler Cohen and said that Dems by saving healthcare for red swing districts are actually helping republicans in the midterms ,and they should accept this escape hatch as the election is only going to be worse in the midterms for republicans if everyone is kicked off their healthcare.
Its amazing that Trump, Vance, and Mike Johnson don’t see this as helping them. I guess they are all in on killing their constituents and rigging elections.

If anything, he should be very concerned about his base of deplorables that are becoming poorer, sicker and more disenfranchised, disappointed in him, angrier and more violent, and see no way out.

I’m really hoping 2025 gets to him before 2026 gets the chance

I want him to live until the end of 2026. He can drive negative turnout for the midterms and if he dies after such a crushing loss, he won’t be martyred like Reagan.
strangerzero on
Is he talking about his health or the ongoing coup?

Maybe people should leave the US and try to get refuge, sounds like he is planing something bigger.

Me: Likewise from Trump’s Epstein list distractions.
When he dies from natural causes because fucking look at his diet and just.. Look at him. You know the MAGA and Republicans are going to say he was poisoned or secretly assassinated by extreme far left lunatics and attempt to trigger an actual civil war.

“to survive the midterms”
But yes, we were all thinking something else.

I fully believe fat Donnie’s doctors told him he had less than a year to live. Thus the current insanity
still for my fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle.

Considering how much he was slurring and making no fucking sense, like far worse than usual, at the “speech” (if you could call it that) with Kegsbreath and the Generals, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the goal for 2025 too. It greatly reminds me of my grandfather when the dementia really hit him.

If he wants to get to heaven he should try helping a single person in need. But that doesn’t occur to him….

Not sure about everyone else, but I’m rooting for the cholesterol.
Yes, he desperately wants to survive the release of the Epstein files
Well here’s hoping that is just another failed goal on his part.
