Hes our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group morbidly obese, they say Speaker Pelosi to @andersoncooper on CNN.

(7,715 posts)For their weight, looks, physical issues etc. Trump does, and he deserves everything he gets.
Speaker Pelosi: you are too good, especially when you are bad!

(63,221 posts)In her quiet, snarky way.
But it's true. And he deserves it for the way he has fat shamed, and short shamed, and looks-shamed, and pencil-necked shamed, and pretty much else everything-shamed everyone else for their physical attributes his entire life.
It's about time he knows how it feels to know how it is to finally be the fat, ugly, repulsive one for once. Because he is 1000 times more revolting than anyone he has ever criticized in his life. He has always been ugly, inside and out, but now it is obvious to all. There is not one attractive quality about him.

So he will come up with some crude insult in response to her simple statement of observable facts.

(6,227 posts)..... a slow shuffle at best. No more leaping tall wrinkles in the carpet in a single bound. The fastest thing he ever did like a speed bullet was to lie, lie, lie.

Has anyone noticed anything like that?
Demobrat
(9,007 posts)I sure dont. Hes just trying to save face by pretending he didnt push a worthless solution.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Exactly how I see it.
wnylib
(21,685 posts)But if he is taking it, that would explain why he doesn't take precautions. If he is taking it, I think he started on it more than just a couple weeks ago.

Beacool
(30,253 posts)She politely called him a fat slob.
Bettie
(16,134 posts)fact is, being fat is the least bad thing about him.
ibegurpard
(16,685 posts)Because appearance is something he is overly sensitive about and yet he has no compunction mocking others about it.
You can take the high road if you like.
NickB79
(19,277 posts)And he meets the criteria.
This could well kill him.

(5,458 posts)Sorry, couldn't resist.

(31,261 posts)due to his condition. Sorry, there is no fat shaming remotely near what she said.
Demobrat
(9,007 posts)All she did was speak the truth. Not in a scornful way. Not in a mocking way. In a simple matter of fact way.
Aussie105
(5,458 posts)I look somewhat skinny compared to Trump.
The Trump Rump must be at least 100 lbs by itself. Then there are the overly long ties trying to hide his gut.
If he is 6 foot, he has got to be a lot more than me.
For the record, I really am trying to get out of the 'morbidly obese' club.
Wife is more the Pelosi build. Guess who is going to outlive who?
ibegurpard
(16,685 posts)Which is also most likely a lie. If he ever weighed 243 it was years ago.

(20,228 posts)You can carry a lot of weight in your belly and be skinny everywhere else. I've read that a better is to take your height in inches and divide it by 2. For someone who's 6 ft (72 inches) that's 36 inches. Your waist should be 36 inches or less.
Fritz Walter
(4,292 posts)And his alleged weight was probably taken with only one bone-spurred foot on the scale.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)A person's waist size pretty accurately reflects their body fat in locations that can harm them.
AlexSFCA
(6,139 posts)I hope obese folks wont be offended by this. However, if he got prescription then its up to his doctor whether he should be taking this medicine.
Aussie105
(5,458 posts)and the number of pall bearers will reveal all.
Apparently Churchill weighed his coffin down big time.
Seriously though . . . .

Just more BS.
