It was November 2016 and the only person I knew who believed Trump would win the US election was the owner of my gym...
But the gym owner, clearly not wanting to do his dough, pointed at this horrible thing in the corner with the name “sled” and said: “If Trump wins you have to pull 70kg on it.”
I pulled the sled like a human oxen while being filmed and the gym staff cheered. I did it. But the Trump victory soured my successful show of strength.
Yeah, I could pull a pretend sled. But how was that going to help me when the world had been destroyed by nuclear weapons or climate change?
Hungry and sore, I repaired to a restaurant – seemed like the perfect place to welcome the end of the global liberal order.
What new political order had been born tonight?
I didn’t return to the gym. I associated it now with Donald Trump, the bad meal and pulling the sled.
I walked. I this. I that. Months passed. Then a year. Trump was going to be in power for another 1,000 years. Or at least that’s what it felt like. Could I really avoid the gym for the entirety of his presidency?
I missed being strong enough to open jars and carry groceries. So, last week, I returned to the gym, slinking back in as if no time had passed...
I returned again this week – to the boredom and pain of the gym – trying to build up back to the strength I had before Trump became president.
The struggle is Sisyphean.

The struggler is a sissy..................
I stopped going to the gym because I bought a stationary bike and rowing machine. Paid for themselves within a year in saved gym membership costs. And I have been using them for years.
One vote for the best internet headline of the day.
I stopped going to the Gym because McDonalds is closer.
“I stopped going to the gym because of Trump. Now I can’t open jars (saddest story EVARRR!)”
The good news is that for eight years I was ashamed of my country, but now I am proud of my country again because of Trump...See, it all works out.
God Bless America!!!
50 years ago, in the shade of the scrub pines at Tiger Land, a Drill Sergeant spoke an unkind word to me. I’ve been in counseling ever since. I demand reparations and a heart-felt apology!
I could never stand the blasting noise called music in the typical gym.
Recently, I found out about a life center at a church several minutes away.
15 bucks, one time for life membership.
Big basketball court, upstairs track, some weights, bikes, and treadmills.
It’s so peaceful there.
The hours aren’t the best but I try to go twice a week on the way home.
I stopped going to the gym because ..................well, I’ve never gone to a gym.....................
You been following my wife???
Because of Trump? Naaa...it’s because you’re pathetic.
But what's to be proud of? Have you seen the price of arugula? It's outrageous!
I saw her at Burger King asking for a whopper.
You sure this isn’t pulled out of The Onion?
Yeah sure, that's why you stopped going to the gym.
Because of Trump.
Not because you're a lazy fat pig or anything.
The cow who wrote this pathetic article.
I STILL contend that we would be way ahead if PDT were to sign an Executive Order saying WE HAVE TO INHALE & EXHALE in a timely manner.
SO many of these doofuses would gather together in front of the White Hut to prove they WEREN’T GOING TO.
Instant success, clean the rolls and gene pool of many idiots and true LIB believers.
The list is far too long of whom I would like to see lead this protest BY EXAMPLE of how to disregard the ‘order’.
