Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition

All I can say is that there is no way that Trump is 239 lbs #girther

 

am tending to agree, but two serious observations to an otherwise silly issue:

 

1) old person weight is different. 

 

muscle is dense.  fat is not.  is hardly a secret trump excercises little and old people tend to lose muscle regardless. porcine trump weight is not gonna be resulting in equivalent muscle-to-fat proportions as shady. have met more than one 5'10" to 6' 70 year old guy who weighs ~200 and has a gut which is making 'em look 9 months pregnant.  

 

2) is ez to lose water weight... quick.

 

given trump knew exact date he would be getting his checkup, and given just how much o' his weight appears to be fat, lose 10-15 pounds through diuretics and a nice long sauna visit would hardly surprise, yes? so, perhaps something closer to ~255?

 

HA! Good Fun!

I could see Trump legitimately being 108kg, though ironically you'd have to assume that he did almost literally no exercise to be so. Kind of the opposite of power athletes being 'obese' on the BMI scale while having a jacked appearance because all their weight is muscle.

I think they are upset that he lied.

6'3" / 239 Lb. I saw a website say "so basically the same as Albert Pujols". :lol:

 

Just look at this fine specimen:

craig heyward, while in college, played at 'tween 260 and 280 with a measured height a smidge under 5'11". the pre-draft combine weigh-in had heyward tilt the scales at 300, but he managed to drop to 250 by mid april. ended up being drafted first round.  in the pros he ballooned up to as much as 340.

 

heyward even did a tv commercial... with a shower scene.

 

 

sadly, ironhead passed away due to cancer at the age of 39.  even so, he were a rare kinda fine specimen.

 

HA! Good Fun!

I love how leftists lost their mind when an actual doctor annouced that Trump is healthy and fit for this term but the next one as well.

 

I think they are upset that he lied.

 

More that they're not believing him, while comparing Trump to muscular athletes (in one case I saw) as far as height and weight, thus completely not getting the difference between muscle mass and fat mass XD

 

Personally, if the doctor and the results say that he is generally healthy for his age, then fine. He does apparently have a bit of heart disease (which the WH denies anyway), but it's not in the danger zone, just in the 'lets get this down a bit' range.

Well, whatever it takes to wind him up, I guess.

Ironhead was a beast

 

Trump comparisons to athletes are silly for all the reasons Gromnir explained already. I actually had this topic brought up to me by a coworker who couldn't believe that Trump weighed less than him while being a good 4 or so inches taller. Similar body type as Trump, old and out of shape, but shorter. He is also a conspiracy theorist type who latched onto the idea because he's 1 pound shy of being obese. Republican too but not a Trump supporter.

 

I just find it all amusing

Aw man, I didn't know he died. :( The "fine specimen" comment was a joke just in case I have to say that.

we got it.  just noting, as we did earlier, how much difference muscle weight changes the equation.  

 

HA! Good Fun!

The problem isn't the weight, it's the height. He is much shorter than 6 foot 3, which, if the reported weight is taken at face value, should mean he is obese.

Well, that depends on the porn star.

That's all well and good but what exactly is the difference? All those things were already discussed at length, and nothing of worth was gained from it.

That's another thing. When compared to Kim I don't think Trump comes out ahead. And that's kind of ridiculous.

Other, older, physicals have him at 6'2".

 

 

Or the looming government shutdown even.

Just in case you didn't know, its happened seven times before.

Maybe he's gotten taller as he's gotten older... or recently taken a secret trip to space.
