I stopped going to the gym because of Trump. Now I can't open jars

t was November 2016 and the only person I knew who believed Trump would win the US election was the owner of my gym. This was clearly a ridiculous prediction so, seeing the chance for some easy money, I offered to bet him $100 that Hillary would win.
[snip]
It was 9 November 2016 and my thinking about fitness changed almost overnight. In tune with the times, it became more Trump, less Obama.
In the spirit of the Donald, I drank more bottles of Diet Coke and ate more McDonald’s. I dropped the gym – embracing Trump’s belief that we are given a certain amount of energy and if we use it then we are depleting a finite resource.
[snip] 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 hoped that by wearing a puffy jacket and MC Hammer pants I could hide my lack of definition – that I could pretend I had maintained my fitness on my own. At home, running to the building next door. On the couch. While tweeting.
But you can’t hide fitness. You either have it or you don’t. You can either lift the dumbbell or you can wobble on your fifth rep and drop the load.
You are either strong or you are weak. And I was weak.

Hellary doesn’t pay her bills so why should her supporters?
If she’s defeated by a jar, it’s no wonder she was defeated at the election.

You are either strong or you are weak. And I was weak.Not just physically.

[I missed being strong enough to open jars ] Perhaps she could try using her mouth instead.
Won't work. She could get mouth around any size jar, but there is no way it will close enough to grip the lid.

So Trump stands over her preventing her from doing what she should. How does he have time to govern?

No gym will ever make that feeble minded liberal strong.

mocked a reporter’s disability.She is too intellectually weak to check out the veracity of this claim.
Her integrity is flabby and lacking fortitude.
