Is the President Fit?: Donald Trump is the least athletic president in generations. [tr]
Politico ^ | July 18, 2017 | Ben Strauss

Few props have been more indispensable to Donald Trump’s presidency than the golf cart. He drives them on his frequent weekend trips to the links (invariably at Trump-owned clubs, where he rolls onto the greens, too—normally a no-no). During his visit to Saudi Arabia in May, rather than walk, the president hopped a ride in a cart as he toured the National Museum in Riyadh. And a few days later, while six other world leaders at a G-7 summit in Sicily walked 700 yards up a slight hill to a photo-op, Trump followed behind for at least part of the way in, yes, another golf cart.

“Trump has the hottest wife! Obama married a Wookie!”

Trump has the hottest wife! Obama married a male Wookie!

There, I fixed it.

I recall pictures of that physical specimen we had just before Trump: throwing a baseball, hanging up the umbrella on a gate, riding a bike, shooting a firearm etc. The guy was as much a specimen as what I leave in a cup during my annual physical.

And I remember reading that the press had to do 20 takes before they actually got a video of Obama ‘making a basket’, even though he was touted as a basketball aficionado by the sycophant Media, for 8 long years!

First, they complain he’s playing golf too much, and then they complain he’s not athletic? And they think Obongo was athletic? Good grief.

If the wall gets built, Obamacare gets repealed, tax reform done, and one or two more Supreme Court justices seated, he can have as many scoops as he wants. I don’t care if he’s carried on a rickshaw everywhere.

Unless you can demonstrate proficiency in something equally important, like cigars and scotch ala Winston Churchill.

The one in a pantsuit unable to climb into the back seat of a van and had to be thrown in like a sack of potatoes? That female with male tendencies?

He is pretty good for 70. And 700 yards is 7 football fields up hill. I too would take the cart if offered. The President is hard working and energetic. He puts in lots of hours, far more than many of his predecessors.

Obama is not athletic. He is a limp-wristed sissy-boy.

Next time Trump collpses in public and needs to be tossed into a limo by SS agents, please let us know, Politico.

Until then go back to your Hillary fapping.

Ben Strauss, the fake journalist, is trying to see if he can get Trump to tweet out a retort regarding the tripe published by Pollutico.

Children are pretending to be political newswriters now. Ben is a prime example.

The headlines from the lefty parasites would have been something akin to: “President Hillary Clinton is Strong, Tenacious, All Business; Sexist Right-wingers Mock Her Weight and Posture”

Donald Trump was a good high school baseball player and was scouted by the Phillies.

Trump ran a more energetic campaign than THREE Hillarys! Gave 60-80 minute speeches in hot auditoriums, sometimes 3 a day. He is plenty fit!

Lemme tell ya something.. if for some strange, parallel-universe reason where up is down and I was in Riyad... I wouldn’t just be on a cart I would demand A/C on that cart.

Even in DC it’s too damned hot to dress nicely.
