You know, Trump is even more cunning than we all thought. He played a comedy with the fight for the election in 2020, but in reality?
And in fact - he purposely conceded to Biden, because there are no fools - to become president in 2020. After all, that is precisely the year on which the ancient curse of the Native American shaman falls:
- The president elected in that year will leave office for a reason that is not the most cheerful. Namely, death.
Thoughts?

The Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's Curse, the 20-year Curse[1] or the Zero Curse[2]) is an urban legend[3] about the deaths in office of presidents of the United States who were elected in years divisible by 20. According to the legend, Tenskwatawa, leader of Native American tribes defeated in 1811 at the Battle of Tippecanoe by a military expedition led by William Henry Harrison, had cursed the "Great White Fathers".

Since 1840, eight presidents have died in office. Seven of them were elected in years divisible by 20: William Henry Harrison (1840), Abraham Lincoln (1860), James A. Garfield (1880), William McKinley(1900), Warren G. Harding (1920), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1940) and John F. Kennedy (1960). Two former presidents elected in applicable years, Ronald Reagan in 1980 and George W. Bush in 2000, did not die in office.
