In reply to the discussion: I want to say something about Trump's fat ass. [View all]pnwmom
(110,307 posts)5. If you have any kids, they should thank your fat ass.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Lassek said: You need lots of fat to make a nervous system and the fats in these areas [buttocks and thigh] are also enriched in DHA [docosahexaenoic acid] which is a particularly important component in the human brain."
According to Lassek, fat around the bum and thigh is particularly hard to shift after giving birth as our bodies have evolved to accumulate these fats and hold on to them for as long as possible for the good of our children.
David Bainbridge, a reproductive biologist at Cambridge University, added: The brain-building breast-milk lipids are largely derived from the fat stored in a mothers thighs and buttocks.
Women with larger thighs have higher levels of these lipids. There is even evidence that they and their children are more intelligent as a result.

Trump's butt isn't fat. It's just where Putin stuffed that 80-foot satellite dish.

That's why I've always liked pear shaped women who are curvy below the waist

the comments on Trump have more to do with his attacking others, especially women on their looks

True. Body-related shaming at tRump should be only about HIS LIES about his health & weight. nt

I disagree with you (and, FYI, I also have a fat ass). He's an exception to the rule.

Thanks for the advice. Your post is almost as good as being "carded" when buying wine at 69.

I'm not making fun of anyone, I simply said if Trump won't stop then it only fair to fight back!

I can empathize with your POV. My ass is rounder and fatter than I'd like myself.

It isn't his "fat ass". It is that he *LIES* about it. If he's 239 pounds, I'm 100 pounds.
