Показать описание
President Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19. Trump is 74 years old, and not to mention overweight. Advanced age and obesity are two factors that put someone at high risk of death from COVID-19. So what would happen if the president died just before the U.S. election? How would this affect the election? Who would the new presidential candidate be? And how would this new candidate be chosen?

What If elsewhere:

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

What if Trump accidentally touched Youtube app?
And what if Youtube recommends this video to him?

Well that's a story for another What if.

I don't understand why people are getting upset in the comment section? It's literally a channel that explains the outcomes of hypothetical situations. They're not wishing death upon anyone.

Edit: if you want to conserve your braincells and mental peace, then do not read the replies.
