His valet does it for him. He could not bend that far down anymore anyway. A reminder that’s come up in the three related threads. We are trying to talk about issues, not just attack Trump. @BobLibDem, I listed a small part of your post, but only the first and last bit were pushing it (especially the last) but you overall kept it at least close. @Der_Trihs and @Pardel-Lux, the cracks were your entire post. I get it, I really get it, but _please_, take the cracks to one of the _many_ Trump threads if you’re just getting your shots in. It doesn’t add to the topic, and it almost always leads into an extended off topic rant on Trump. If you want to attack him, keep it specific to his motivations for the event in question rather than on his appearance, weight, or general stupidity - the Pit’s a better fit for that. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/speculation-about-trumps-underlying-reasons-for-bombing-iran-and-other-targets/1028209)._
