It's something to look forward to old age, living in a world without Donald Trump,; though wheter Trumpism will have died with him, who's to say.

Vladimir Putin
Benedict XVI.

Edit:
I'm going to add Richard Chamberlain to the list, since I was just reading about the Shogun remake.

[Josquius]

Surely there should be a rule about picking people already in hospital? Pele seems way too safe.

[Threviel]

And pope Francis is leading prayers on the health of Benedict.
