Best he can do is shift weight to one side to make releasing gas easier. I wonder if he knows that farting in church is considered classless.

It’s not like we know anything about his medical history. 🙄

My husband was told not to cross his legs after his hip replacement. He got out of the habit of doing it, and now it feels so strange to him that he just doesn’t.

Sadly, I know from experience. I used to be very slender, but during the food pyramid days, I gained a tremendous amount of weight.

Which reminds me. Time to get on my stepper.

I'm sure it's the only way he can sit.

This is a legitimate question.

Personally, I don't find him fat. I do, however, find it odd that I've never seen him cross his legs.
Just as odd as his claim of never having tried alcohol or owning a pet.

Anything over that at his height is considered obese. Just look at that gut and big behind.

Trump is morbidly obese.

Simply pointing that out doesn't make it fat-shaming. It's reality. And in his case, he doesn't care that he's fat or if he lies to the American people about it (remember Dr. Lie-a-Lot who claimed Trump is super-human healthy and not all that obese?)

But if you really are that frustrated about it, please write to the biggest alleged "fat-shamer" of all time. Start there.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-overweight-jokes-other-politicians-590515

snippet:

"Trump has also spoken up about celebrities' weights, including those of Rosie O'Donnell—whom he called a "fat pig"—and Kim Kardashian—whom he said had "gotten a little bit large" when pregnant. A focal point of Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign came when she teamed up with Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe who Trump allegedly labeled "Miss Piggy" and once said couldn't lose weight by working out because "she'd eat the whole gymnasium." In 2005, he even said his then-pregnant wife Melania Trump was a "blimp" and a "monster in all the right places.""

White socks and slippers on? Very strange. Kind of reminds me of old IBM teleconferencing meetings... Suits and ties on top and shorts and flip-flops on the bottom because no one could see it.

And god forbid this crazy lump let everyone see exactly how obese he is.

Note: I have no problem with him being obese by itself. But I roll my eyes hard at his vanity and his ridiculous attempts to indulge that vanity.
