Superstition goes in the joke forum
I choose this board, amongst the wide variety, because it is populated by sane, rational people who can construct an argument that isn't immediately stupid (with only the occasional exception). Please do not repeat every dumb conspiracy theory out there except in the designated pile.
As the US President is a powerful, stressful, high profile office with one in five election years ending in zero and multiple terms common, a combination of random events creating some coincidence like this is not improbable. If random events didn't create this, it'd probably create some other coincidence like presidents with 'a' in their name. People see patterns in everything.
Next, you'll be stating that the ordinal positions of the letters in 'New York' add up to 666.
Though you will be forgiven if you write that you posted in the wrong forum. This post was meant to branch to the Flame forum.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
