Oh My Word: Out of step: G7 leaders take a stroll-While Trump Follows in a golf cart

123. Do you equate being out of shape with having a disability?

I think the people on this thread are merely pointing out that someone who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. I don't see Trump as someone who has a disability, but as someone who despite having "let himself go" over the past decades relentlessly mocks anyone who does not meet unrealistic ideals of beauty and fitness. He makes up lies about the putative low energy and lack of stamina on the part of those whose work habits he could never hope to equal and who could run rings around him any day of the week. He relishes his KFC and amazing, best-you-ever-saw chocolate cake and chooses not to exercise out of some crackpot notion that it would sap his vital energy. As a consequence of those choices, and in a public setting where he does not get to control the optics, it can be seen that he has allowed himself to become so deconditioned that he has to ride in a golf cart even for the short distance that his counterparts can easily walk. I honestly don't think that anyone would have made an issue out of it if he had not been so hypocritical in his cheap shots at others. I also think that equating this to FDR's post-polio paralysis is completely off base.
