Check out the video, around 17 seconds. (Edited to add that I'm not making fun of people who wear adult diapers; a close and beloved family member of mine does. They're in the future of most of us, probably. But Trump is always body shaming and making fun of people he sees as weak.)

Yep. 98% ass; or more.

(15,376 posts)He's 76 years old and has an astronomical BMI. His very large waistline isn't just a pot or beer belly. He has a lot of body fat everywhere, even in his shoulders. He doesn't take very good care of himself -- poor diet, little exercise (occasional golfing isn't exercise.) But, at 76, his physical condition isn't that unusual these days but it isn't inescapable. I know a lot of guys in their 70's and older who are slender and in excellent physical shape.

(20,811 posts)so I wouldn't doubt it. There have been actual sightings of him wearing adult diapers. He should have one affixed to his mouth as well.

(3,673 posts)I read a summary of what she said at one or more of those speeches, and it was basically the usual Democratic message. Should she just ignore these companies? I like what she did, we need to try and communicate as she did, rather than just throwing shade all the time.

(29,293 posts)They want to make people cynical and angry, repeating over and over that Democrats are corrupt and ignore the working/middle class.
Hillary gave speeches to companies and organizations like the Girl Scouts, but "Goldman Sachs" and "Wall Street" were weaponized as proof she was evil, that Democrats are "morally and ideologically bankrupt." Wasn't Republicans starting it. They turned a do-gooder Methodist feminist fighting for the rights of women and children her whole life, who remembers everyone's birthdays, the first person you'd call if you needed help and wanted to get something done (like the Flint water crisis), 17 years the most admired woman in America, into a cartoon villain-monster supposedly worse than Trump. Trained to mindlessly boo louder at the words "Democratic Establishment" than "Republican Establishment." And we still have to see it here.
Americans work for corporations and banks and on Wall Street and the military. As you say, should Democrats ignore this reality? A juvenile fantasy of populist revolution demonizing "corporate Dems" and ranting about capitalism or whatever, as if there's no difference between the unregulated privatized destruction of Republicans and the Democrats. Ridiculous.

(24,436 posts)Has been for years. And there's nothing wrong with that, save for we know he'd be making fun of Biden if Biden was doing so.
There are other pictures of him where it's even more obvious than this one.
A lifetime of abusing stimulants can cause incontinence.
