Man finally dies peacefully after being told Trump was impeached
Michael Garland Elliott died on April 6, but not before hearing a little white lie.
The last words the 75-year-old Oregon resident heard before passing away was that Donald Trump had been impeached. Upon learning of his alleged impeachment, Elliott took his final breath, according to an obituary published in Oregon Live.
Teresa Elliott, Elliott's ex-wife and best friend, was the one to tell him.
"And the last thing she said to him was, 'Donald Trump has been impeached,'" the obituary reads. "Upon hearing that he took his final, gentle breath, his earthly work concluded."
Elliott was reportedly a newshound who disliked the president so much that he lost the ability to talk about it publicly.
"He hated his effing guts . . . I knew it was his very, very last moments,” Teresa Elliott told The NY Daily News. “I knew that would bring him comfort and it did. He then took his final breath.”
Trump has not been impeached yet, though irrationally hopeful pundits/my mom are constantly predicting his demise.
