And, if they do, have they added the "Beautiful cake eating" segment to the test?
tRump's recent physical has made me ponder the meaning and relevance of the test that we all so fondly recall from our childhood.
I remember those tests. Usually they included sit ups, push ups, and chin ups. I also remember thinking about how my president wanted me to be physically fit so I could accomplish great things. But now I'm reconsidering all that.
I mean, really, folks, how can there be a president's physical fitness test when tRump is morbidly obese and eats 10,000 calories a day? Does anyone here honestly believe tRump could do more than, say, five sit ups over a period of a week? How about all those push ups? Sorry Donnie, but bringing a Big Mac up to your mouth does not count as a push up. Are we going to change "push ups" to "golf cart hops", as in "How many times can you hop up from a golf cart in 60 seconds?"
More than that, I no longer believe my president cares what kind of physical shape I'm in. He certainly doesn't want me to have access to decent healthcare. I guess as long as I am able to maintain a semi-upright position on my potato chip crumb infested sofa and watch Faux and Fiends, I should be deemed 100% fit. Because, let's face it, that is the physical shape tRump aspires to.

(23,210 posts)I think we took them all the way through junior high school, (8th grade). I recall that I got the badge three years in a row and I still have one of them.
Since Trump doesn't "believe" in exercise, I doubt that this is a program he's even thought about.
He's such an embarrassment.

(17,984 posts)And I remember doing mid-70s sit ups in one minute. I would puke if I tried that today.
I guess this would be something that falls under DeVos' purview? She might try charging students to participate.
