-the most obsequious MAGA lies and adoration for Trump. Uggh.

I'm going to assume he has left behind those for whom he showed a more honorable and kinder side, so I will just say: RIP

On edit, it sounds like he had cervical surgery that went bad immediately thereafter with tracheal injuries that left him unable to speak (and reportedly at least a period of coma)...His death, though, appears to have been from a cardiac arrest. So, I can honestly express sympathy for his bad outcome and likely suffering over the past several weeks.
