Or the North Korean leader's holes in one.

Let’s all ask Rick Reilly what kind of golf game Trump plays. It’s his physical talent and acumen.
He fucking cheats. Just like everything else in his miserable life.
And for a Dr at Walter Reed to say this is fucking embarrassing.

lol, so I guess we the people should continue to pay 3 million per golf trip to keep our dictator mentally and physically stable. WTF

fvlib.bsky.social•8 days ago

We all knew that whatever anyone said would be bullshit. Trump would disappear a truth teller.

How does a doctor perform a soul exam?

pj1304.bsky.social•8 days ago

Are we asked to believe that the president is in perfect health because he cheats at golf better than younger, smarter men?
For him it's simply muscle memory.

A Navy Captain. What a disgrace

His report was no doubt dictated to him. It has all the earmarks of the previous "doctor's" reports.

philstr.bsky.social•8 days ago

If they can't even get basic details like his height or weight, there's no value in anything they say.

omr-canadian.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maybe this is a secret cry for help.

Nonsense. I play golf and the only way it is aerobic is if you don’t use a cart and workout at the gym regularly. Swinging your arms is great, but not enough to keep anyone in shape.

Trumpism is Maoism

Chairman Mao! Chairman Mao!
Everybody loves Chairman Mao!
(And if you don't, you'll soon learn how!)
Everybody loves Chairman Mao!
The Chairman swam the great Yangtze
Chairman Mao! Chairman Mao!
To crush the fascist bourgeoisie!
Everybody loves Chairman Mao!

A contempt for expertise
The destruction of cultural memory in the name of ideology
Economic disruption in the name of "Liberation"
A ever-more ludicrous cult of personality

Kim Jung Un claims he hit 18 holes in 1 during a round … expect #cheetojesus to claim he beat that score

jstar2.bsky.social•8 days ago

White House doctor claiming Trump weighs 224 is the biggest offense

westvillagecrank.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, it would be if we assume the traditional definition of "pound". But words and definitions have, shall we say, evolved recently.

penny4yrthoughts.bsky.social•8 days ago

What does donold have on this doctor?

liammcreanan.bsky.social•8 days ago

Protesting a bit much aren't they?

peterkropotkin.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's very common for presidents to lie about their health. But Trump is a 78 year old man, and will be 82 when his term ends. No shot he's in perfect health.

A man whose diet consists of McDonald’s and Diet Coke.

westvillagecrank.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, Pettyman Smallcock has defeated Godot, Lefty, Harvey, Caspar the F.G., and Judge Crater time and again. THAT CANNOT BE DENIED!

“active lifestyle”

penny4yrthoughts.bsky.social•8 days ago

He looks fit

peachdiva.bsky.social•8 days ago

Golf. Cart.

ramzmom0996.bsky.social•7 days ago

He should have his license pulled

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•8 days ago

Didn’t Kim Young-Il score an 18 on his only round of golf?

richo98119.bsky.social•8 days ago

And he's giving hope to obese men everywhere. They ask their doctor, "Hey, if Trump is only 220 pounds, how can your scale say I'm 300?"

It's Trump Economics - we're gonna all lose weight since we can't afford to eat.

sosboss.bsky.social•8 days ago

Does Peleton make a golf cart now? What stupid reasoning.

jimshankland.bsky.social•8 days ago

Right about when people were just starting to treat a Trump candidacy as more than a punchline, a NYC finance person told me, unsolicited: "Everybody knows he cheats at golf."

erikrobin.bsky.social•8 days ago

The fat dude uses carts to bring him to the golf ball. Donald can't walk 18 holes.

walterdragon.bsky.social•8 days ago

The doctor knows he’ll be shipped to an El Salvadoran gulag if he reports anything but that.

copernicium1473.bsky.social•8 days ago

Because of that I think it is reasonable to conclude that all the other information she released publicly on Trump's health is false.

davids8663.bsky.social•8 days ago

He wants to avoid being sent to El Salvador.

patnasonsongs.bsky.social•8 days ago

“Active lifestyle”? 🤣😂

iaindowie.bsky.social•8 days ago

is it really so hard to imagine him winning golf tournaments when his yearly medical proves he's fitter than an olympic swimmer, faster than a jaguar, and smarter than einstein?

awmarch.bsky.social•8 days ago

He cheats at golf and physical exams.

pjk107.bsky.social•8 days ago

Everything that doctor said about traitor Trump's medical report is a lie.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•8 days ago

Mao however did indeed swim very fast - it was the current carrying him along.

Trump’s golf prowess exists only in his imagination

And people freaked out when Biden fell off a bicycle, which tends to happen occasionally if you ride a bicycle regularly.

Excellent cognitive health my ass

jodiwrk.bsky.social•7 days ago

His talent is finding people who lie for him & disgrace themselves. Never knew there were so many, drs, lawyers, judges, business people, journalists etc… with absolutely zero qualms about lying & zero ethics. Its mind boggling.

sybilltrelawney.bsky.social•7 days ago

What cognitive tests did he do on Trump? Anything more elaborate than person man woman camera tv?

zathras5.bsky.social•8 days ago

It does make you wonder how much else about Trump’s medical reports is made up. He pulled that stunt with Ronny Jackson during his first term, as I recall, but Jackson was an idiot and his report got laughed at.

starm600.bsky.social•7 days ago

And the democrats and the main street media said Joe Biden was well

toms-takes.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nothing says fitness like parking a fat ass in a golf cart for 5 hours. The true definition of aerobic!

lalee508.bsky.social•8 days ago

Where on earth do they find these ‘doctors’? This guy sounds like he was trained by Ronny Jackson.

cuibonobaby.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Active life style". 🤣🤣The guy drives his cart onto the green because he can't walk fifty feet.

galadalisi.bsky.social•8 days ago

Credibility destroyed. Nothing in his statement should be believed.

mcolvinmckenzie.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well yes he owned the competitions. Jeez. This doctor has been bought

equinas.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just look at his”cabinet meetings” where they take turns lavishing praise on him. We are on the road to ruin.

4seasonstl.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m surprised The Lame Duck isn’t currently sitting atop the Masters leaderboard.

drstevenquest.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump is 6’ 3” and supposedly weighs 224 lbs. Chris Hemsworth is 6’ 3” and weighs 215 lbs. I don’t think he’s won as many golf championships as Trump though.
