Love ya Donald, but campaign trail food and standing up for long speeches, does not make for a healthy diet/exercise routine.

The older we get, the more strategic we need to be regarding nutrition and exercise. I hope The Donald stays healthy, but it generally does not turn out good for folks in their 60’s, 70’s and beyond, who do not have a well thought out plan for nutrition and exercise.

Read the whole article. A long read. Basically reporter is saying Trump is self centered and not introspective at all.

Trump is vain. so what. Most politicians are but dont have the guts to say exactly what’s on their minds.

Not sure where the article was heading and ended with a whimper,

Long but good article. Lot's of behind the scenes information.

I don't think Trump's diet is very good. Delicious maybe, but not good.

I love this: “I don’t do smatterings.”

Most interesting read. Thanks for posting. Love Trump or not, I’d call this balanced piece a must-read.

Post WWII American prosperity has been good, so good, in fact, that a large percentage of Americans have been able to ignore the usual reasons for taking life seriously.

It's not like in the old days when Grandpa walked six miles in the snow uphill both ways to and from a one room schoolhouse where the three "R"s were waiting and when college was more a privilege than an expectation. Now, it's party time!

If in 2016 college has become little more than a 4 year extension of adolescence, then our politicians have granted adolescence continuing resolutions into perpetuity.

We have a critical need to reset our perspectives before life does that for us, which it appears to be gearing up to do, when in walks Trump to carbonate the punch bowl.

It is a dilemma for the elected leaders, campaign strategists, credentialed pundits and assorted parasites of the "establishment."

They have a certain set of expectations, unwritten rules and ways of doing things that Trump keeps flouting in the most indelicate of ways.

What Trump is doing is so badly needed. People in the game have become clueless and their audience even more so. And then a ray of light in the darkness:
What I saw was polite routines and traditions breaking down as the American political order reoriented itself around a new center of gravity.
Yep, a new center of gravity who brings his own gravitas along with him in his customized B757.

Didn't see that coming...but I sure am paying attention now!

‘‘Jimmy Carter used to get off Air Force One carrying his luggage,’’ Trump said. ‘‘I used to say, ‘I don’t want a president carrying his luggage.’ ’’ Carter was a nice man, Trump allowed. ‘‘But we want someone who is going to go out and kick ass and win.’’ Which apparently cannot be done by someone ‘‘who’s gonna come off carrying a large bag of underwear.’’

Loved this!

Trump gave the NYT reporter a lot of personal access.

The reporter used this to portray Trump as vain, insincere, gluttonous, dishonest and almost psychotic in his fear of germs.

This was a hit piece. It was meant to provide material for people to ridicule Trump. The theme was Trump is a weird egomaniac and should not be taken seriously.
