Impressed by the Trump administration part II

Compared to most Americans, he sure is.  The guy has an amazing energy level, sleeps maybe 5 hours a night; any reports he is given he marks them up before he finishes for the evening and has them back to the surrogates in the morning.  Totally engaged all the time.  Not saying he is likable, but he is a worker.

Is he Bill Brasky? 

The best part is it is an Obama doctor. IDGAF if the president is fit. What a dumb fucking world we live in

I once saw Donald Trump breastfeed a baby flamingo back to health...

If this thread just turns into using Brasky quotes to describe the President it will be the greatest contribution Quaker has ever made to this site. 

Also, it's not possible to be one pould shy of an 'obese' BMI and be 'ultra-fit'. If so, I've got some news for my doc at my next physcial. 

Just say for a man of his age and weight he's in overall good health and weight loss is a goal. Using the phrase 'ultra-fit' is what rightly brought the mockery.

Agreed on all points. Trump is doing alright for his age. But calling him ultra-fit is absurd.

“I went camping with Trump … I’m in the back of a pickup with Donald Trump and a live deer. Well, Trump, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Donald Trump! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth — “Donaldtrump!” It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer.”

This. I don't think he drinks, so that's probably why he's in decent shape for his age. But spare me the "ultra-fit" bullshit. 

Also, I do find it ironic that libs are full-on fat shaming Trump. But Trump fat shames Rosie O'Donnell and OMZZZZZZZ

Look, he does play a round or two of golf every day, so he gets some sort of exercise and, as said, he doesn't drink, so for a guy in his 70s, he's probably in respectable shape. Ultra-fit? Lol, no. But respectable for the age, I get.

Here's the more likely scenario: Trump and his team paid a doctor to run tests on him and say that he's "ultra-fit" which is exactly what Trump would call himself. Even better, they found a doctor that used to be Obama's doctor (like that means anything, but hey, right wingers like QO will eat it up!). So, the doctor takes his $100k (or whatever) and releases a statement that he's ultra fit. OMG! Science! Right wingers like QO eat it up and say things like he's "medically diagnosed as ultra-fit, and passes cognitive tests with flying colors" Then people on the left will post pictures of him being fat on a golf course and fat shame him similar to the fat shaming that they oh-so-despise when others do. 

Meanwhile, there's millions of (normal) people, like me, who just want to hear about 90 seconds of ACTUAL news and see what is going on in the country. Yet, we have to sift through the dozens of news sites' front pages that ask, "is Trump in good shape?" like that fucking matters?? just to get to an article at the bottom corner of the website that shows actual news.

And then, tomorrow, we wake up to a whole new Trump story, rinse, wash, repeat.  Love this country!

Ultra-fit ................my jab at the Leftists for saying he is unfit.  Obviously, he is merely fit.  

Good day

You are slipping man.

I wonder just how much exercise a round of golf is when you use a cart....

Otherwise, he's nearly obese and has a lousy diet.  Could be genetics, or just luck (like George Burns smoking a cigar all day until he was 100).  Although I'm sure no drugs, tobacco or alcohol definitely help offset some of the other unhealthy choices.

Too much winning lately, Ptown; I can't keep up with all of it.

I think things hit a new low when everyone started posting pictures of him next to pro athletes who share his height and listed weight. Anyone who knows even the smallest bit about athletic training and exercise should know that two people can be the same height and weight, but look super-different if one is an elite athlete whose entire day revolves around conditioning and lifting weights and the other is a tub of jello whose idea of exercise is walking from his cart to his golf ball and back again and angrily pounding his fingers against his Twitter app on the phone. But there you have it: People posting pictures of him side-by-side with a pro athlete who is all muscle and acting completely incredulous.

I mean, there is some humor in the dude at the center of the moronic birther movement getting mocked by a so-called "girther" movement, but it's the sort of stupid waste of time that really should be used in a more productive manner.

One of the more puzzling things to me is why Trump, a multi-billionaire obsessed with appearance and image, wore such poorly fitting suits early in his campaign (until someone apparently shamed him into getting a better tailor).

There have been a shit ton of companies embracing supply side economics.  This one is huge considering the amount and it’s a left leaning company. Not really sure how Dems can spin this as bad.

I see how Trump’s chief of staff has said Trump was uninformed when he made statements on the border wall and immigration during his campaign.  Well no shit.  When’s Mexico’s wall bill coming due?
