To be honest, at 100 a common cold might have killed him. He lived life to the fullest and if he had a nice holiday a month before he died, good for him.

Color me surprised, I figured he would join with the rest of the US politicans and seemingly live forever.

IIRC, there was something in the news about the now deceased arsehole being terminally ill when a certain other arsehole gave him the Medal of Freedom.

Anyway, it’s nice to see one of the bad guys go.
