Why Donald Trump’s diet is bad for America’s health (barf alert)
WaPo ^

Posted on 06/28/2017 1:22:02 PM PDT by Stopthethreat

It was the fat joke heard ‘round the world. Pope Francis, speaking with Donald and Melania Trump during their recent visit, asked the first lady whether she’d been feeding her husband potica, a rich Slovenian dessert.

His Holiness wasn’t the only one eyeballing the president’s diet. Recently, the public learned that the White House kitchen staff knows to deliver their boss extra Thousand Island dressing and a double serving of ice cream while his guests get vinaigrette and a single scoop of vanilla, triggering sniggers about presidential gluttony.

And since Trump so shamelessly slings stingingly personal insults tied to fitness and body type — from “Miss Piggy” to “fat pig” to “Little Marco” – why resist the urge to poke his proverbial soft underbelly?

We should resist, because Trump’s attitudes toward healthy eating and exercise aren’t a joke — they have serious consequences for the nation’s health. First, they mark a dramatic pivot from his presidential predecessors on both sides of the aisle. Previous presidents saw projecting a personal embrace of healthy living as politically attractive, while Trump perceives just the opposite.

He has more energy than any President in the history of the Republic!

What this really about is snobbery. Mr Trump has the heart Of an average American and the stomach to match ! He likes burgers, pizza and ice cream. He’s a real man !

The weak beta make Obozzo are nothing but salad but was lazy and worked 3 hours a day.

The Pope should stick to scripture and doctrine. Comedy isn’t his thing.

People who are obssessive about what they eat, who feel morally superior to other people because of their diet, and who try to make other people eat the same way they do are suffering from an eating disorder called “orthorexia”.

It’s best to just refer them to a clinic that treats eating disorders.

Two scoops of ice cream is gluttony? These lying writers need to check a dictionary.

Back in the ‘50’s, I was once told by a teacher that I should eat liver...That it was good for me...

I told her that liver wasn’t good for me...It made me puke...

She never said anything else about what I ate...

Major lie. Bill Clinton was a fast food fanatic when President.

The same media that buried the fact Obama smoked. Bill Clinton loved his fast food. And never gave GWB credit for being in very good shape, as proven with a 3:44 marathon time at age 46.

Not mentioned is that Trump doesn’t drink. Or use drugs. Trump has been non-stop his entire career. Obama loved his leisure - golf outings, trips on Air Force One, etc.

Could Trump stand to lose a few pounds - of course. Most of us are in the same boat. But he has 10X more vigor (to use the Kennedy word) than Obama ever did! The Washington Compost would never admit that, of course.

Bubba Clinton - overweight, out of shape and a junk food junkie

The Hildabeast - overweight and out of shape

Obozo and the Mooch - both physically fit, but often pictured eating junk or high calorie food

Why is this person picking on Donald Trump?

“The Pope should stick to scripture and doctrine. Comedy isn’t his thing.”

Judging from some of his comments, scripture and doctrine aren’t his thing, either...

Meanwhile, Barry Obama wishes he had 1/10th the energy of Trump.

More ridiculous by the day.

And I’m with you about liver in the 50’s. I hated it.

These people are a joke. Every 70 year old man in America should be in the shape President Trump is in. He’s not fat and he’s not thin. And if he wants two scoops of ice cream then they damned well better give him two scoops. He’s earned them!
