One year too early. things must really be serious around him.

You must not like his politics - but his will to survive. Nobody has danced on the nose of the USA with such a talent, and survived all attempts to get rid of him.

This is huge, new policies have been created inside the US simply because of that man being their leader, such as the wet foot/dry foot policy. I wonder what would happen now.

He must have been overcome by his health problems. I'd not expect him to live through this year.
