Donald Trump thinks exercise will kill you

[yuiyoshida]

How healthy is President Donald Trump? We don’t really know. The president never released his full medical records, and instead opted for a surreal on-air physical with TV star Dr. Oz.

One health aspect Trump is transparent about: He doesn’t like to break a sweat. To be more precise, he thinks physical activity will kill you faster.

In a remarkable New Yorker story this week about how Donald Trump could realistically be removed from the presidency, Evan Osnos writes: “Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy.”

The Trump “human body as non-rechargeable battery” theory was first detailed by Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher in their 2016 book, Trump Revealed:

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this."

On the campaign trail, we learned that Trump didn’t dedicate any extra time to breaking a sweat because he believes exercise is actually harmful, according to this 2015 New York Times,...

14. Actually there is evidence it does kill you

Years ago I read something from a Dr Solomon saying that people rush into exercise without building up fitness first and that it does kill many. He had a chart showing the number of hours of exercise by different methods before there is a fifty percent chance of death. I remember weight lifting was 5000 hours. He claimed that for the average person they are better off not exercising.

16. I knew someone who entertained the idea that our hearts have a limited

number if beats allotted to them, like a pitching arm. He was an accountant, and a sexist bigot, and I stopped having anything to do with him and his nonsense.
