Besides, a fast death is too good for him, he needs to be publicly humiliated; preferably through impeachment and criminal charges but if being removed from office under the terms of the 25th Amendment is the best we get, so be it.

It must be his dirty conscience and all the lies that are eating him up from inside. He should go sulk by himself in a dark room and watch Fox News until he explodes like a rage-filled rotten peach. No one will miss him or be sad, not even his kids. They will all be secretly relieved that he is gone.

He knows this too, that nobody ever really loved him, or ever will. That is why he is so consumed with rage and self-importance. But nothing can fill the dark void where his soul is supposed to live. He will die hated and alone. That will be our final revenge.

If he had, he'd be well on the way to resigning due to overwhelming health issues.

And he's still packing on the pounds, probably as a way of dealing with stress. And I'm sure he's outraged that any of us has noticed that and the fact that the girdle he wore on the campaign trail no longer fits.

It will catch up to him. Whether it does so in time to save our country from ruin, I don't know.

I'm not all that good at guessing weights -- we should find someone who's done the weight guessing at a carnival. They get extraordinarily good at it.

But doing a little bit of wandering around the interwebs, looking at photographs and BMI visualizers, he's got to be a lot more than 250 pounds. As much as 300? Surely someone here can give us some more information here.

President Donald Trump is living every child's dream: More ice cream.

According to an extensive interview with TIME Magazine, Trump's White House staff has settled into Trump's routine and know his desires, sometimes before he does,
For example: Trump takes two scoops of ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, TIME reported, while everyone else around the table gets just one.

And it is not unreasonable to expect that anyone running for the position be in reasonable physical condition for their age, and to maintain themselves in reasonable condition once in office.

In addition to his administration's flat-out assault on, well, pretty much every law, rule and tradition of the republic, he is a lazy piece of shit incapable of carrying out even the bare minimum of his duties. Instead, he watches TV, periodically interspersing his viewing with screaming, occasionally taking a break to stuff his face with pie, ice cream, "taco bowls" and KFC.

As the federal employee, he's in a position scrutinized like no other in the nation, but arrogantly refuses to release his physical results. He's in a position pressured like no other in the nation, but arrogantly refuses to maintain any sort of regimen that might help him meet the overwhelming challenges of the job - in his case, utterly overwhelming.

So, fat-shaming? No - a reasonable expectation that he would rise at some, rudimentary level to the challenges of the job. Can't do that when you've got staffers to scream at and chocolate syrup to gulp, I guess.

IME we might get the 'why' and logically know that it's an attack directed specifically at Trump but, whether people get it or not, some of the 'fat' comments are very hurtful to some of the good Dems here that struggle with weight and obesity for whatever reasons whether they be overeating, lack of exercise, medications, health, etc. Some may even have been bullied and/or looked at with disgust because of their weight and whether years ago or current those ugly scars/wounds inside don't always go away.

Perhaps most here don't realise that their fat shaming words mocking Trump or obese RWers might hurt obese Dems too but I wish they'd try ton understand so maybe they'd stop.

As for Trump, I agree with that too. He's plenty ugly inside... the outer packaging won't add to or take that away and that's the stuff he's more likely to be removed from office for.

...including myself, because I'm the fattest I've been in years (I've put on a good 20 since 11/9/16 and I was already way up there). So, please don't think me in the group of fat haters.

But I think it IS important to point out his weight gain. I'm guessing at least 30-40 lbs. He's pushing 300 easily. We may end up not having to remove him with impeachment/25th amendment/resignation after all if he keeps this up. I can only wish...

What drives me to wall-punching with the left is that no one can say shit about weight without being accused of "fat shaming."

I'm fat. I'm really fat. I have a double chin, fat. I can barely fit into my pants, fat. When I roll over at night, I sometimes have to readjust my fat, fat. My doctor has given me a real warning that if I don't lose weight, I could be setting myself up for real issues after 45, fat.

Mon May 15, 2017, 03:32 PM

I'm beginning to think people have lost their minds...

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES packing on 30-40 lbs in a matter of four months IS concerning. It speaks to his stress levels, health and ability to govern - something Trump can't do anyway. As for it being relevant to policy and direction, what policy? What direction? Where the hell have you been? It's been nothing but dismantle, disrupt and dictate from him.

What's not rational, is treating comments about Trump's weight gain as fat-shaming the masses. What's not rational, is any attempt to try and normalize the man. WHO CARES IF I CALL HIM A FAT LARD ASS? I could think of worse things than that to call a man trying to destroy this country and who ran his campaign on insisting Hillary Clinton was ill and unable to govern.
