This elderly couple expected to be paid between $5,000 and $10,000 to transport the contraband to Houston.

Many elderly Americans die with less than $1,500 in their savings accounts, as research indicates that 46% of senior citizens have less than $10,000 in financial assets when they pass away.

The suspect, Luke David Brader (80), is the same age as fabulously wealthy Dummkopf Trumpf.

This is such a shanda that these two senior citizens were forced to smuggle cocaine to survive like in the film "The Mule" (2018). Worse, the poor couple will be incarcerated separately after sentencing. Terrible.

That this man's wife is not by his bedside as he sinks into death illustrates what a whopping failure his life was.

We'll see a replay of this when it's Donald's turn.
