Trump Is Definitely Not a Health Nut

February 6, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Mike Allen: “Aides who traveled with Donald Trump during the campaign marveled at the lax health habits of a 70 year-old obsessed with appearance. Here was a man fixated on his personal brand and look like nobody they’d ever seen. His biggest insecurity, his friends say, was his paunch. And yet he ate and worked out (or, rather, didn’t) like a man who’s slept through the last 50 years of public-health warnings.”

“Sure, Trump doesn’t drink or smoke. But those were about the only health vices he avoided on the trail. He guzzled Diet Coke all day long. Fast food was a constant. The ‘three staples,’ in the words of one aide: Domino’s, KFC, and McDonald’s. Big Macs were served on silver trays in his private jet.”

1. this may be the only time I ever root for heart disease nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Yup.

Here's a guy with piles of money who could be eating like a king, but he's stuffing his fat orange face with junk food. If I were a nicer person I'd want him to take advantage of his wealth to enjoy first-rate gourmet meals, but since I'm not a nice person I want him to keep chowing down on those greasy burgers and fried chicken.

[Salviati]

7. I hope he's doing a lot of stress eating.

Maybe we can send him some gift certificates for some free KFC doubledowns.

[HipChick]

8. We never did see his medical records...

So..what's the worst that could happen?

[3catwoman3]

19. "...but since I'm not a nice person..."

Does that make you a nasty woman/man?

[Initech]

25. If I had that kind of money, no way in hell would I set foot in a McDonald's.

[Trekologer]

29. Who says we actually has that kind of money?

Maybe he has to feast off the Dollar Menu?

[Initech]

30. Maybe that's why he loves fast food - it's cheap!

[radical noodle]

13. Painful gout

as a start...

[dalton99a]

2. Well, he's trying to be Henry VIII so Bannon can be Cromwell

Gotta gain some weight to look the part

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Henry's obesity and other medical problems are thought to be

the end result of some injuries, particularly a jousting injury that never healed and became infected. By the time he died his waist measured 53" and he weighed 28 stone (392 lbs.). He became "a comfort-eating paranoid recluse – a 28 stone man-mountain." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-jousting-accident-that-turned-henry-viii-into-a-tyrant-1670421.html

Trump isn't quite there yet, though I'm pretty sure he's at least 300 lbs. And he can't blame his weight on a sports injury (though there's that bone spur that kept him out of the Army). But keep eating, Donald. I think he's well on his way to becoming "a comfort-eating paranoid recluse."

[anneboleyn]

38. Henry was at least an attractive young man. Trump has always been fugly, inside and out.

Many who knew Henry as a young man always stated that Henry changed dramatically after the two major injuries -- young Henry, even through much of his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon, was charming, intelligent, generous, not overly paranoid or cruel (in the historical context of course). They say he changed dramatically after the two major injuries -- he was thrown during a hunt (so at high speed) from his horse and landed upside-down, head-first in a bog, and he was dragged out by his men after nearly drowning. He developed a horrific migraine that lasted for days and severe fever after this and doctors today have theorized that he suffered a TBI as a result of this accident. His personality changed, and he became prone to "rages" and bouts of extreme paranoia. The joust injury came later (it was so severe that Henry was believed to be dead).

The leg wound caused chronic severe pain, which any pain doctor will tell you changes a person's personality, and was constantly getting re-infected and kept him bed-ridden. The last twenty years of his life, and he died at a youngish age for the Renaissance, were spent in chronic pain and perpetual troubles from the old head injury.

Trump is just a dickhead.

[MoonRiver]

41. Interesting, thanks!

[Warpy]

3. Gawd, new money

He reminds me of the first wave of big time drug dealers in the 80s urban ghettos, covered in bling, driving tricked out Cadillacs, flashing huge rolls of cash, and still eating at McDonalds because they didn't know anything better.

Neither does he, it seems.

I'd be willing to bet the rent that he's also wearing a girdle in many of his appearances, squishing the flab to make the waistline trimmer. I can tell it by the way he moves--or doesn't move.

Still, none of this trivia has anything to do with his complete unfitness to be in office. It might contribute to his early demise, though.

[W Mousie]

17. Junque Cuisine.

" ... and still eating at McDonalds because they didn't know anything better."

Aren't those Big Macs on silver trays in his jet just too, too Twee!

[boston bean]

24. Are you saying he wears spanx???

[lapfog_1]

5. My hope is that he develops a craving for those

fast food things that use breaded fried chicken instead of bread or taco shells or whatever.

And let's keep the "fake news" polling numbers coming!

Stress and diet will catch up to him eventually.

[Historic NY]

6. The White House cadre of chefs must be dissapointed.....

imagine a state dinner.

[jeanmarc]

10. Having to burn a steak to a crisp for his highness must suck. Nt.

[enough]

9. Neither is Brannon. NT

[get the red out]

34. Bannon looks like he robbed a beer truck

every, single, day.

[smirkymonkey]

11. I suppose the ridiculousness of a Big Mac served on a silver tray escapes him.

What an ass!

[aquamarina]

18. You mean gold tray.

This guy doesn't do silver.
:0

[lpbk2713]

12. He is probably relying on his money buying medical miracles.

He's burning the candle at both ends. He thinks when a serious medical problem shows up he can throw money at it until it goes away. He's in for a rude awakeng. It may have worked for Cheney but his time is running out as well. When Trump's number is punched there will be confusion and chaos. He will be hiring and firing doctors right and left because no one is fixing him. The rest of us (and Pence) will be watching from the sidelines.

[BSdetect]

33. Sadly that could happen. Miracle drugs INVENTED BY THE SCIENCE HE SCORNS

[KittyWampus]

16. He's not on the trail anymore. He definitely gained even more weight over the last year.

But I sincerely doubt he's eating fast food in the White House or Trump Tower or Maralago.

That said, the food he ate on the trail sounds like he didn't have proper staff.

It should have been someone's task to get decent food available for him.

[Ilsa]

23. Did he hire a chef for the WH?

Or does he send someone out for that crap?

[3catwoman3]

20. The adjective...

...corpulent is perfect for SCROTUS.

[malaise]

21. He thinks he's entitled to look fit

without a proper diet or exercise.

I say send him all the junk he likes

[Croney]

37. This.

I have a FB friend who is so conceited, she thinks the world owes her a trim figure even though she is a food-obsessed sloth. She buys running shoes and rewards herself with a pizza. Fitness is hard work (at least for me). Drumpf wants to just buy it.

[malaise]

40. And the body is very ungrateful

slip up for two weeks and it will let you know.

I don't see it as hard work - the hard part is maintaining consistency. I treat it as part of my day - just like my morning coffee - walk for am hour - drills for 30 minutes - and I watch what I eat. We probably have chicken burgers four times a year and a soda is a rare event.

[Ilsa]

22. I wish McDonalds would offer some cream gravy with those fries and

Sausage biscuits, just for him!

[Initech]

26. Garbage in, garbage out.

[MFM008]

27. You cant take advantage of your arteries

I have never smoked and drank for a few years but quit in the 80s.
My problem was my weight and when I had a PET scan in 2016, they said I had a heart attack.
Im a 58 year old female.
It can happen to anyone at any time.
Its going to get him in some form.

[sarcasmo]

28. Shocked the Big Mac's weren't served on Gold trays.

[subterranean]

31. Not to worry. He's got Dr. Bornstein monitoring his health!

[kairos12]

32. MacDonald's features an Orange Clown saw it fits Drumpt is a fan.

[Bayard]

35. I have this vision....

A vision of Trump having his head preserved once his bloated body gives out. It is too be planted on a young, vibrant body. Now, how hysterical would it be if he wakes up and finds a Muslim body under his chin?

[get the red out]

36. Gross

He can't feel very good. I guess veggies aren't for the rich and powerful.

[anneboleyn]

39. Trump and Bannon are both giant pigs and that gets hard on a body in its seventies (Trump)

His obesity plus the stress of the presidency, which Trump has never experienced in his life (never was a governor or anything remotely close), will be rough on Trump as he ages into his seventies.

[Cha]

42. he looks like it.. one thing he can't hide like his tax returns
