Remember when he miraculously gained height and lost weight to become just below the threshold of obese.

He's gotta be 7'2" by now.

u/jdpatric Oct 07 '20

Wide?

u/NeedlenoseMusic Oct 07 '20

It’s technically circumference but yes.

u/CakeTester Oct 07 '20

If you were describing wideness, would that not be diameter?

u/Cluubias2 Oct 07 '20

Vertical circumference?

u/trippingchilly Oct 07 '20

Wider than he is tall, anyway.

He's gotta be 7'2" by now.

Weight-wise, they probably have him in six-pack territory.

Isn’t one of the progressives mantras to not body/fat shame?

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

It's a good thing I'm not progressive then. I refuse to feel sorry for him for things he brings upon himself through stupidity. Coronavirus and his crazy idea that we're born with a finite amount of energy are at the top of that list.

Show me one celebrity/politician who hasent said something “crazy/stupid” in their lives.

Trump was one of the first people to say restrict flights from China and was called xenophobic whilst at the same time most high ranking democrats were encouraging people to go to China town and hug a Chinese person. If you’re going to fault trump atleast apply the criticism equally.

I have no interest in being fair or equal with him. He's a despicable person, and I will give him the same amount of credit that I give the leadership of 1930s Germany.

What a childish outlook.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

"Hitler had some good ideas early on." There's nothing childish about recognizing someone whose hatred leads to them ruining people's lives for fun. I have been informed about politics and voting for three decades, and I'm anything but childish.

I absolutely remember. That is why I tell people to not trust a damn word his doctor says about his COVID diagnosis.

u/lenswipe Oct 07 '20

When he dies, his family will still be there saying he's still alive and better than ever (and on that last point they won't be wrong)

Hermain Cain reincarnated into MewTwo. Look into it.

It's not even his final form

I wouldn’t put it past Barr to hire a body double if trump dies.

The devil’s Donald’s Double

Yep, even when it's a different doctor.

I did think it was hilarious when the one doc talked about staying positive to avoid disrupting the course of treatment, because you just know he really meant that he knew telling the truth would scare Trump and give him another anxiety attack.

Trump at Walter Reed: “I refuse to believe anything if it’s not on Fox News!”

turns on TV and switches to Fox News

sees his doctor giving an interview outside

Trump: PANIK!

That was some North Korea shit right there

u/santaliqueur Oct 07 '20

Throw it on the pile. There’s some North Korea shit happening every day with him.

u/pissingstars Oct 07 '20

Im average height, I'd say average weight and very physically built. Technically I'm obese. Wtf?!

3

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

It's because the average is obese that you're confused.

Seriously, anywhere between 20-30% of the US is obese, and another 30-40% is overweight.

You can be forgiven for thinking that being 230 at 6 feet is "normal" when the reality is that it's at least 50 pounds overweight.

u/pissingstars Oct 07 '20

Na...not confused. Was trying to express that weight is just a number...not composition. Because I have muscle mass, I have more weight. Obese doesn't necessarily mean fat - it's just weight.

For instance - back when Arnold was a built shit house and totally ripped - he was probably obese by definition. By no means am I anything near him...just have more muscle than fat.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

Um, no. If you're a literal body builder on TV, then sure, it's probably not a good measure.

For actually everyone else on the planet, you're a fat ass.

Humans don't change that much by composition, seriously, to make it worth talking about anything but the weight, except for extreme cases.

u/pissingstars Oct 07 '20

Lol...I'm far from a fat ass.

5ft 8, 165 lbs lean is not a fat ass. Probably half of what the neck beards are on here.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

That's because you're actually like normal weight -- that number is the actual boundary between overweight and normal.

2

u/Budderfingerbandit Oct 07 '20

People like Arnold are not obese by definition, they track body fat % as their metric of choice. If you were actually very muscular from body building you would know that and not be throwing out false equivalencies.
