CNN... Trump is putting on weight, withdrawn confidantes say

[DemocratSinceBirth]

We can break him if we keep up the pressure.


"White House playing checkers..."

[C_U_L8R]

1. Quick, someone call KFC delivery

Bring him the bucket.

And don't skimp on the paté

[a kennedy]

2. This......

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I would donate to the effort.

[steve2470]

40. me too lol nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. I bet he eats a lot of chips and chips aren't persishable.

We should send lots of chips to him.

[steve2470]

43. yes! nt

[PCIntern]

71. Monsieur Creosote, nt

[hatrack]

[Historic NY]

[smirkymonkey]

16. LMAO!

If only he could suffer the same fate!

[CentralMass]

30. Better get a bucket.

[Snotcicles]

32. He'll have the lot!

[ChazInAz]

35. With an egg on top.

[Initech]

51. McDonalds has been pimping a delivery service lately!

[muntrv]

53. Bring plastic fork and knife.

[Jacquette]

76. And boil the pate in bacon fat.

...then fry it in butter. Serve with tall glass of pure corn syrup. Repeat 3x per day

[onethatcares]

4. two scoops of ice cream on me.

mr. pResident.

[justiceischeap]

6. Poor guy, eating his feelings...that said

I don't know that we want to "break" the guy with the nuclear football at his disposal.

[DesertRat]

7. The bakers at Mar-A-Lago make the "most beautiful chocolate cake"

Can we have some chocolate cakes sent to the White House on regular basis?

[Sanity Claws]

8. How much is due to edema?

He probably has a host of medical issues that could result in edema, including congestive heart failure and kidney disease.

[Orrex]

9. He's a swell guy, all right.

[luvMIdog]

11. hahahahahahaha!

[blueinredohio]

10. Who cares? When does he kick the KFC bucket?

[leftstreet]

12. LOL

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. HA!

[lpbk2713]

14. And Donnie's getting laarger.

[ATL Ebony]

74. How appropriate for one who does everything bigly.

[Brother Buzz]

17. Serious question - Has he had a recent physical by a competent physician?

I suspect he's been dodging repeated calls from Bethesda.

[Scarsdale]

62. His personal physician

declared him to be "the fittest man EVER to enter the WH" I wonder if that doctor is now a patient at Bellevue? Donnie HAS added at least one more chin, and his jacket is snug around the waist, the shoulders leave lots of room to expand. For a supposedly wealthy "man" he has rotten tailored suits. Are they made by the people who make his ties and shirts?

[Brother Buzz]

64. Riddle me this: Why can you purchase a Trump branded suit cheaper then one of his XL ties?

[Blue_true]

18. We need to send him extra heavy vanilla ice cream and demand that he up to four scoops. nt

[Horse with no Name]

23. Just give everyone else 3 scoops.

He will take care of the rest! Lol

[Blue_true]

24. Yes, narcissists act that way. nt

[NewJeffCT]

39. "Obama ate 4 scoops and said nobody could eat 5"

or more.

[LuckyLib]

47. LOL!

[ATL Ebony]

75. Now, that will do it.

LOL, go for it lil donnie.

[dhill926]

19. clean your plate like a good boy, Donnie....

[Tanuki]

20. He's gaining on Taft....

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/10/15/health/in-struggle-with-weight-william-howard-taft-used-a-modern-diet.html

...."William Howard Taft, the only massively obese man ever to be president of the United States, struggled mightily to control his weight a century ago, worrying about his health and image, and endured humiliation from cartoonists who delighted in his corpulent figure.".....

[mainstreetonce]

22. His head is getting bigger

Can it be steroids?

[Croney]

44. Is that Taft's tie that goes under his vest all the way down to his crotch?

Drumpf's role model...

[Different Drummer]

73. Taft allegedly once got stuck in the WH bathtub.

Maybe the same thing will happen to D2S one day.

[Quixote1818]

21. He looked like his uppers were kicking in at Arlington Cemetery yesterday

When he started gleefully singing the National Anthem like a fucking kook when everyone else looked somber. Hopefully he will start using more and more drugs to deal with the pressure and end up in a mental hospital.

[tblue37]

28. Remember Bush be-bopping to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at a memorial for slain Dallas

police officers?

https://m.

[3catwoman3]

37. I posted that in a different thread...

...yesterday, along with my comment that it irks the hell out of me that President Obama's White House portrait is flanked on the left by Bush's and will be flanked on the right by he-who-shall-not-be-named.

Unless, maybe, if a president is convicted and jailed, he forfeits the right to have a portrait put up? Please, please, please!!!

[lostnfound]

65. That's called contrast. Like a bright light surrounded by a sea of darkness. Or..

Brilliance flanked by stupidity.

[Jacquette]

78. Everyday it's new levels of wtf with this one. I forgot about

the official white house portrait. Maybe they'll just leave a blank space...

[Maggiemayhem]

41. I never saw this one

But I remember him falling around in the bleachers at a women's volleyball game.

[calimary]

72. Welcome to DU, Maggiemayhem!

I remember watching that. It was utterly humiliating. Made me wonder if he was drunk at the time, or just brain-rotted from so much drinking in the past.

Almost felt sorry for the guy, which, for me is saying a lot. Meanwhile, his unfortunately minder (I mean, wife, Laura) and First Lady Michelle Obama were trying very hard to contain him while being tremendously discreet and as subtle as possible. After all, this was front-row public televised stuff.

Just freakin' embarrassing.

[LuckyLib]

49. Michelle has that look that says "What is this doofus up to?"

He's like Dump in that he's uncomfortable with solemnity and just being in the moment.

[keithbvadu2]

61. Let's see how the republican leader of the free world (Dubya) disrespects the American flag for al

Let's see how the republican leader of the free world (Dubya) disrespects the American flag for all the world to see.
.

[MoonRiver]

25. If he's withdrawn into himself, he's living in a vast wilderness!

[DrDan]

26. Taft peaked around 340-350 lb - at just under 6 feet tall

[winstars]

27. "We can break him if we keep up the pressure." Sure, unless he kills all of us first!!!

[ginnyinWI]

29. they say he wants to have the Winston Churchill look.

That sober scowl. I think he practices it in front of the mirror. So the weight gain is part of that, too, maybe. I don't think he looks like Churchill--the intelligent gleam in the eye is missing.

[Dopers_Greed]

31. All those extra scoops of ice cream are adding up

Please give him more

[BigDemVoter]

33. I saw him in profile somewhere, and I noticed that his already rotund gut had grown exponentially.

I guess all that pussy grabbing isn't enough exercise for him . . . Maybe he'll have to stop those extra servings of ice cream.

[dixiegrrrrl]

69. check out Bannon in full profile.....

looks like his liver is trying to escape....

[Cryptoad]

34. Three scoops, please!

He looks like he is going into organ failure!

[lostnfound]

67. Perhaps he prefers to depart the office more naturally rather than impeachment.

[GBizzle]

36. Laying the groundwork for the 25th Amendment?

I can only imagine what is going on in Republican strategy sessions right now. They know Trump's a bull in a china shop, and the longer they stay tethered to him, the more damaged they will be by association.

Any smart Republicans want him gone now, before 2018 rolls around.

[workinclasszero]

45. Donnie Two Scoops in action

[C Moon]

50. That hat...he and his traitors are doing just the opposite.

But what else is new?: he's a Republican.
They exist because lies exist.

[workinclasszero]

54. Being a stone cold liar is the first requirement

of being a republican.

Trump and his cult followers got that down pat.

[Lucky Luciano]

46. Disappointed in DU's cruelty to another fellow human being. Compassion please!

Rather than suggesting he eat even more and become more obese, why not show some compassion and suggest ways he can take off the weight.


He can control his weight by getting hooked on crystal meth.

He should try that.

[Orrex]

80. I admire and endorse your proposed solution

[C Moon]

48. In this clip, Trump looks like he's either drunk, or on some meds...

The video is half way down the page:
http://washingtonjournal.com/2017/05/29/trump-just-disrespected-fallen-soldiers-arlington-memorial-day-ceremony/

[dixiegrrrrl]

70. What I saw in videos of him at Arlington

is attention getting behaviors. He cannot bear to not be the center of attention.

Do you remember when he and Hillary had a debate and as she was taking her turn talking he wandered all over the stage, even coming up behind her, the played with the back of a chair, paced some more.
He is savvy enough about tv to know that movement is what catches the eye, and so he does it.

[Kahuna7]

52. Stress eating. Indeed keep the pressure up.

[malaise]

55. Give him more fried chicken, gravy creamed potatoes

the best'est' chocolate cake and two scoops of ice cream.

[Codeine]

57. I'm afraid to ask. . .

Gray creamed potatoes?

[malaise]

58. No a gray typo n/t

[Codeine]

59. Oh!! It sounded like a real thing.

A real scary thing.

[Doreen]

56. I wonder if he would like Yorkshire pudding?

That stuff is nothing but fat and artery clogging while being delicious. If he liked that I would send that to him all of the time.

[sarcasmo]

60. #350

[librechik]

63. eating your own words can be fattening if you have to eat a lot

even if it's only horse manure.

[workinclasszero]

66. Get in my belly!

[0rganism]

68. dunno about that "checkers" bit

something like a game of checkers implies agreement on ground rules and intent to cooperate with one's opponent in adhering to established guidelines of fairness and decency.

for several decades, it seemed to me like Republicans generally sat down at the board with their hockey sticks ready to smash the board and forcefully pound on their opposition when things didn't go their way.

now it's more like they've unleashed an pre-potty-training toddler in a perpetual tantrum to defecate on the board and scream the whole time.

frankly, compared to what we have now, i'd welcome a nice, quiet game of checkers.

[SJMULE]

77. You know trump

has the WH pastry chef working overtime. He is stuffing his orange Pie hole with every sweet nugget left in the residence kitchen all night.

[demosincebirth]

79. Stretch pants, now, maybe? Save on the budget
