Do you realize that would likely require a Constitutional Amendment?
Maybe, but maybe not. It depends on whether the Constitutional requirements constitute a set of minimum requirements, or if those are the only requirements allowed. I don’t think that’s ever been adjudicated. Maybe an actual lawyer can chime in.
So…Trumps doctor gives him a physical. He is amazingly fit for a man his age. He just needs to eat more healthy and get his cholesterol levels down. I smell a rat.
I disagree.
according to twitter I’m not the only one thinking there is no way he is 239 pounds

:dubious:
I have never seen him in real life. It is hard to judge. TV adds 10lbs I hear.
He looks to be 280lbs, at least.
Me too. It wouldn’t be right for the Democrat to run unopposed in every election.
What makes you think it’d be something other than the Republican-controlled Congress setting the terms of this new law? I’d give you no better than 50/50 odds that some history of being a registered Democrat wouldn’t be declared disqualifying evidence of mental illness.
He was also President Obama’s doctor and President Bush’s doctor. Even Obama’s staff has spoken of him glowingly.
Some people do just have good genetics. Both the President’s parents lived a good long life.
The President maxed out (30 out of 30) the Montreal Cognitive Assessment which screens for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
You’re shitting all over their whole theory. They won’t like that.
A great relief, he is competent to stand trial.
So, what IS Trump’s excuse?
Being incurious, possessing of a short attention span, convinced that he doesn’t need to study, and mostly, being an asshole. You can be all of those and still be mentally competent.
I find the website height-weight-chart.com to be pretty cool and useful; it has photos that real people have submitted of themselves, at a wide range of different weights and heights. However, it doesn’t have a lot of pictures of bigger and taller men.
Here’s the entry for 6’3" and 240 pounds (closest to Trump’s claimed height and weight). There are pictures of four different men at that height / weight (one of them submitted two pictures); three of the four have slight paunches (though not as pronounced as Trump appears to have), and the fourth is a bodybuilder.
There’s one picture for someone at 6’3" and 260 pounds. This looks, to me, closer to how Trump looks.
Now, certainly, different people carry their weight differently. But, based on the sizable paunch that Trump carries (more visible in pictures taken when he’s golfing), and his not-quite-a-double-chin neck, I’m skeptical about the 239 pounds claim.
To be fair, it’s perfectly possible that he knows a lot about medicine even if he’s a bit shaky on how to spell his own first name.
It is one pound under the BMI Obese range. :dubious:
Yeah, there’s that coincidence, as well.
It don’t matter who the doctor was. Everyone has a price. No, really the doctor is probably competent. Doesn’t have an effect of his damaged personality and his racism. I still think he is a fat ass, too.
Are you engaging in fat shaming?
Fuck, yeah!
