Heel Spurs?
Donald Trump and the Melania could have followed the tradition of presidents past and walked across the street to the Blair House to greet the family of presidents being buried.
That was a bit much for Donald Trump.
What? A seven vehicle motorcade wasn’t enough?
I’m telling you – he can’t walk very far. You know, that fine specimen of youth and vitality and the healthiest person to ever occupy the White House. He can’t walk very far.
And that’s what makes it even more fun to watch him walk off a cliff.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
I have various health issues including diabetic neuropathy in my feet and use a walking stick but I can still manage to walk further than that.
1if you use the Google’s Map app, you can see that Blair House and the White House are absurdly, ridiculously close together. A coupla foot ball fields maybe three. The sitting president (and I do mean sitting) walks further on a par 3 at any of his absurdly named golf properties.
2Was it raining? Wicked things melt in the rain . . .
3Micr, “The sitting president (and I do mean sitting) walks further on a par 3 at any of his absurdly named golf properties.”
Au contraire, good friend. Dufflebag Donnie violates golf course protocol while driving carts through sand traps and across the greens. Treadmill? Hell no. He had his reconfigured as a moving sidewalk between bed, toilet and sink. Soon he’ll be sipping his diet soda through a straw to avoid the rigors of deep elbow bends lifting the drink.
4Trump knows he better appreciate this event vicariously. He gives himself the motorcade, the entourage, while he upstages the ceremony by inserting himself as bigly as possible.
Deep down he has an inkling, “nobody’s gonna do this for me.”
5The “President Donald J. Trump” blurb from the redacted document made me reach for the anagram generator. Best one that has popped out so far:
President Lard don’t jump
Two others, that we all wish were true:
Trump’s pride told end Jan
Despond Trump trend jail
68 car motorcade, huh? Wonder how much *that* cost….
7Trump has a bizarre theory — remember, his ever-increasing gut is smarter than most brains — that he was born with a finite amount of energy and exercise will only run down the battery, so to speak. If his sedentary life-style and awful diet result in an earlier death, who are we to argue with his gut?
(BTW I saw a photo of Jimmy Carter post-brain cancer working at a Habitat For Humanity site. He is 94.)
8I’m surprised he even considered making a gracious gesture. Frankly, I think he is afraid of walking a street. Some one might take a shot at him. So, no, he will never shoot anyone in public. Public is just to a good place for him.
9To be fair, the Secret Service once insisted Obama use the presidential limo rather than walk 100 yards from the White House, BUT Obama never did an 8-vehicle motorcade for such a short trip. I suppose our Dear Leader figures, “If ya got it, flaunt it” especially when somebody else is paying for it….
10where was his golf cart?
11“Magaret Rose, if that’s your real name, the answer is nothing. It’s a job perk.” Trump
12Rumor has it Golf Cart 1 was in the shop having its suspension beefed up to carry the healthiest president ever.
13Make that Rascal I…
14Watching the Golgothan walk off a cliff really would be satisfying.
15As long as he doesn’t drag the rest of us with him.
Considering his age and girth, he probably has really bad knees, and walking hurts a lot. But the 8-car motorcade was really over the top, for a trip across the street.
16I figured he didn’t want his weight to drop below that 239 pound level he scored at his physical, by walking the 250 yards over to Blair House.
17Heaviest President: Don’t forget. Taft.
