Are you a "Girther"? How much do you think Trump weighs?

Last edited Sun Aug 2, 2020, 03:49 PM - Edit history (1)

Honestly, I think he looks bigger around the belly (and rear end) every time I see him. There's no way he weighs 243 pounds. (And I'm glad to see that the Lincoln Project has an ad that points this out when ridiculing him for his shuffle down the ramp.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/02/14/donald-trump-weighs-243-pounds-doctor-says-after-physical/2846158002/

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump weighed in at 243 pounds during his physical last week, an increase of four pounds from last year that makes him technically obese, according to a report released Thursday by the White House.

It matters to me... and almost half-a-dozen others, apparently.

Add one more option "I don't give a shit"
Well, I guess that's what the "Pass" option is for. For those who care enough to participate anyway, it can be anything they want it to be.

Honestly it is pretty childish and petty.
Oh, for goodness sakes... who cares? I and many others enjoy ridiculing Trump. Everything from his hair, his orange face, his fat belly, his eating habits, his vocabulary, his plastic wife, his horrid children, his neckties, his ill-fitting tuxedos. I'm sorry to have to be the one to let you know, but you're fighting a losing battle. I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to it, or ignore it. The public scolding and tsk-tsking isn't going to change anything.

and to anyone who has read Mary Trump's book, it matters a great deal as it just reinforces the things she revealed about him.

that scumbag will lie about any and every thing, and always finds weak sycophants to go along with and promote his lies -- in this case the doctor who issued that report.

and abuse of power. Acting a person's body or face has something to do with who they are as a person and mocking them for it ultimately upholds oppressive systems, including white supremacy, by hurting our friends and allies who have those same attributes.

Those pants definitely accentuate his growing waist size and his pear-shaped rear end.

Trump's initial height and weight announcement (6-3/239 lb) said he was the same size as Kam Chancellor of the Seattle Seahawks.

In reality, he's closer in height and weight to Vince Wilfork of the New England Patriots.

Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he can't walk more than 30 yards without fatiguing. It's why he rides his golf cart EVERYWHERE on the golf course--even onto the greens, which will get you kicked off any course in America. He has literally said that he doesn't like to exercise because it wastes heartbeats.

Trump is 220 pounds of adipose tissue on a 100-pound frame. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest that 20 pounds of that fat is between his ears.

Trump is about ten more KFC Extra-Crispy buckets away from a Hoveround scooter.

The Way of the Big Mac has no mind, grasshopper. Perhaps his weight is what makes Trump so stable an "extremely stable genius..."

It's a matter of national security. But when it comes to Trump, it's suddenly a cover up, lies and distortions. Therefore, we have reason to be suspicious and deserve to know the truth.

Because he's morbidly obese + stress + poor diet + poor sleep + risk to Covid ... it's only a matter of time before the Fates no longer smile on him. Nobody lives forever, you know. It could be today.

If any other president behaved as unhinged as he has, Congess would have acted before now. How anyone can't see that his behavior isn't normal, and that's not even counting his frightening affinity for the world's dictators, is a mystery to me!
