Trump thinks that exercising too much uses up the bodys finite energy
?uuid=lb3a4DcwEeerA6op9lbxPg
Donald Trump is said to have mostly given up athletics since he left college. (JEFF J MITCHELL/GETTY IMAGES)
Trump reportedly eschews exercise because he believes it drains the bodys finite energy resources, but experts say this argument is flawed because the human body actually becomes stronger with exercise. Trumps views on exercise were mentioned in a New Yorker article this month and in Trump Revealed, The Washington Posts 2016 biography of the president, which noted that Trump mostly gave up athletics after college because he believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted.
. . . . .
Rather than thinking of energy stores as a battery, a better analogy would be like the fire that you continue to fuel with more coal or wood, Jonesco said. You need to continue to add fuel, or your flame will die. This is true whether you exercise or not. .?.?. Simply by existing, we are burning energy.
Whats more, although exercise puts a temporary stress on the body, the body adapts to that stress so that the heart and muscles become stronger and more efficient. If we can create a battery that, every time its used, actually becomes more powerful and efficient, then sure, our body is like that battery, Jonesco said.

Exercise may even help you live longer. (on second thought, you are right, douche boy, DON'T EXERCISE!!!!)

And then, I'd like to think that his brain capacity is finite and he should drop any minute now and mercifully removed to a quiet, padded place.

(11,686 posts)I am very sure that any woman that is with him is expected to exercise a lot as to remain very skinny for him. I suspect he does not allow them to eat much either. As we have seen he acts hateful to any woman who is not super skinny. Yeah, I know he is not nice to women at all but if you are an ounce bigger than he thinks you should be you are worse.

(113,527 posts)because that is the only way that drivel makes "sense". yes, one's heartbeats are finite. but few know the instant of their death. well, except for Atropos.
