At this point I don't think PC's issue is towards my posting style here but a long standing personal issue she has with me

 

Let me clarify any confusion or misunderstandings. Yes, you and I have had our differences and disagreements. However I am not the type who hold grudges esp. with someone online I barely know.  For me it is pretty much "water under the bridge" since that incident we had a few years ago. Which is why I have been a bit more open with conversing with you. Just so we are clear I currently have no ill-feelings towards you. 

 

As I have mentioned many times, and you touched upon in one of your recent posts,  we are different in many ways (as well as we are similar). That's fine. Just bc we have many differences doesn't mean we can't still behave respectful and accepting towards each other. 

 

I personally would not like to revisit old grievances. Which was why I excused myself from our last discussion bc it is unlikely anything constructive or productive would result from it. It would have mostly likely bring us back to that place we were in a few years ago. However if you would like to go back to that place for whatever reason that is your business. I want no part of it but I will accept the situation. It is what it is.

 

If we could now move on and take Kiki's suggestion of "keep calm & feel the French Spirit" that would be great! #WeAreAllFrench

The Washington Post reports that Trump disclosed classified information to the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador whilst hosting them in the Oval Office.

Information which might jeopardize future information sharing with the source country (and must also make other intelligence agencies across the world more weary about sharing their intel with the United States of America).

 

 

This is not treason as has been reported falsely on some social media accounts, but more a display of the gross incompetence that seems to be Trump's second nature.

How many controversies can one man have?

This is baaaad

Hmmm...I hope this is false info fed to the media. Just odd he would do that after all the stuff that's been going on

I think David Brooks is on the money here:

We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.

Now that Donnie himself has admitted to doing it, I guess the "fake news story" option is out of the window.

Unfortunately 

 

 

I sometimes suspect he is creating all this drama  b/c he is obsessed with the celebrity lifestyle and status. If he can't be on a Soap Opera might as well create his own  All this stuff is so ridiculous and far-fetched you have to question his motive...

 

On a lighter note, I got someone else to refer to him as "Donnie"

I think @SympathysSilhouette quote of "fireflies beeping randomly in a jar" explains most of what Trump is

^ I have read eating too much junk foods and fast foods does negatively impact the brain

On a similar note...

Donald Trump has a very strange theory about exercise

President Donald Trump has a number of unorthodox theories about politics. But his theory of why exercise is bad for you is the strangest I've heard yet. "Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy," writes Evan Osnos in a piece entitled "How Trump Could Get Fired" that appears in the May 8, edition of the New Yorker.

That's far from the first time we've heard that Trump and exercise aren't friends. This, from a February 6 piece in Axios: "The only workout Trump gets is an occasional round of golf. Even then, he mostly travels by cart. On the campaign trail he viewed his rallies as his form of exercise." In their revelatory book "Trump Revealed," the Washington Post's Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher wrote more extensively about Trump's "battery" theory of energy: 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."

And then there was this from a 2015 New York Times magazine profile of Trump: Trump said he was not following any special diet or exercise regimen for the campaign. '''All my friends who work out all the time, they're going for knee replacements, hip replacements — they're a disaster,'' he said. He exerts himself fully by standing in front of an audience for an hour, as he just did. 'That's exercise.'" His counter-intuitive theories don't extend to exercise alone. He once offered this observation about people who drink a certain diet soda:

 

Trump's health, broadly speaking, is a mystery. Although he is, at 70, the oldest president ever to be elected to a first term, we know little of the details of his health. In September 2016, Trump's personal doctor -- Harold N. Bornstein -- released a letter that noted Trump's parents lived into their "late 80s and 90s" and pronounced him to be in "excellent physical health." Back in December 2015, Bornstein had written a similarly hyperbolic letter proclaiming: "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

While the generally-held belief within the medical community is, contra Trump, that exercise is good for you, I did find one study from 2015 published in Circulation magazine -- I am a subscriber, of course -- that suggested people who exercised strenuously 4-7 times a week were at increased risk for vascular disease when compared to those who exercise strenuously 2-3 times a week.

Of course, that study's findings don't apply to Trump who exercises zero times a week -- unless you count the time he spends golfing (or something) during his regular weekend visits to his golf clubs. (The Trump White House is resistant to confirm that he plays golf in these outings; on Sunday they suggested Trump "may hit a few balls.") Despite reportedly being somewhat self-conscious about his weight -- Trump is 6'3" and weighs 236 pounds, as far as we know -- Trump regularly touted his physical fitness, as compared to that of Hillary Clinton, on the campaign trail. "To defeat crime and radical Islamic terrorism in our country, to win trade in our country, you need tremendous physical and mental strength and stamina," he said in August 2016. "Hillary Clinton doesn't have that strength and stamina."

 

Amid the ongoing Russia investigation, the firing of FBI Director James Comey and the rumors of a major White House staff shakeup, Trump's odd theory of exercise isn't the most pressing issue of the day. But, that doesn't make it any less strange.
