President Donald Trump loves golf but he does not believe in exercise to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Instead, the President believes in the battery theory of life force, which means that people are born with a finite amount of energy. CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains what this means as it pertains to the President’s health.

Hey, Chris here – what is your favorite form of exercise?
♿NPC-TardLivesMatter✊ I think ur jealous of Chris! Get over it trumpturd cult member!! lol 😂 😂 😂
@MAGA COUNTRY Are you insinuating violence ?
don’t care. When Trump leaves office, what’s left of CNN ratings will be gone too.
Catania Momma Italia once again Republican stupidity comes shining through. The covid-19 virus is far more deadly and has far longer lasting effects on more people in all age groups it infects.
@CNN I roller-skate, hula hoop and dance on my trampoline. All fun and make me feel young (Im in my 40s)
I remember he criticized Obama for playing golf and he said he was going to be too busy running the country that he wasn’t going to have time to play golf. I guess that was a lie , just like everything else that comes out of his mouth.
@kingtut777 Ok inbred
@Jamtommy1 Triggered much
@athlonz2007 ‘Triggered’ is a term invented by left wing soy boys to describe their feelings when someone says something that isn’t politically correct and hurts their feelings…. So no, since I’m not a leftwing soyboy, that’s a big No, bud.
Hahahha what else is new…

“We were making the ice-cream less accessible and putting cauliflower in the mashed potato.”
LITERALLY, things you do to control the diet of an overweight toddler.
@Le Thanh Hiep can’t let Trump golf all the time. The guy almost bankrupted the Secret Service due to his golfing.
None of those things work if the fat in question resides inside Trumpty’s head.
You eat that sht

And he stands like a toddler who just crapped his diaper
I only run when chased, I only swim when drowning, I only camp when homeless, I garden with gloves and do you know why I don’t lift weights…because those things are heavy. : )

hahahahaha! funny !
😆😆
EVILLLL!
Umm… how often are you homeless?
trump will have plenty of time to “exercise” when he is voted out of office in November.
Every prison has an exercise yard…..right?
Get your coloring book early, I hear Amazon is giving away a free cry button with a purchase of Large Crayons.
Robert Athey, oh, did somebody hit a nerve, bleach boy?
@GOpVID-19 I heard there’s a new killer on the streets. The crap shank killer. They say he uses frozen turds to kill his victims.
@Mike Smith
But Trump has a lot of experience with 5G he spends many hours every day.
Smelling those 5 G Strings he stole from Stormy!
@King of America
Which has the smallest brain “Acting president tRump” or a Rhinovirus?
Even though you would need an extremely powerful electron microscope to even see a Rhinovirus!
I would still put my money on Acting President tRump for having the smallest Brain!
Trump’s idea of exercise is chasing Russian call girls around his Moscow hotel room.
Trumpturds idea of exercise is picking up the phone to call secret service to bring him a Big Mac!! That and walking from his bedroom to his bathroom 2 stare at himself in his mirror! lol 😂
Right? And to clean off all that sweat he works up, he gets the girls to give him a “golden” shower. It was accidental at first, they asked if he wanted a golden shower and he thought it meant a fancy shower. Turns out it’s not, but he liked it and let them finish anyway.
@cherry9511 Trump: Come on Ivanka you know you want it
@jm8373
TDS = tRumps delusional scopaths!
and yes you are right!

That “healthiest ever” certainly did not refer to his psychological health… tRump is completely bonkers
ha definitely a whackjob alright 👍
The man can’t even walk or stand properly, let alone try to run.
“bonkers” this is probably a fake account to stir trouble

Ever wonder what it would be like if we elected a literal toddler to the office of the presidency? Now we know.
@fran bran So you’d rather elect a senile old white man who hides in a bunker instead? Come back when you have some sense
@Mike Hall You’re very confused, Bud. You just described Trump… to a tee!
@fran bran Andrew Yang 2024
ever wonder if maybe you had something intelligent to say? now we know
@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation Your comment contributed even less to society than the original comment 👏
Only Trump would see driving a golf cart around as exercise.
Autocorrect sucks! Hanging onto the back.
blameitonthepixie You got that correct on many levels and auto correct just made it funnier. The only thing Bunker Boy does is waddle from the golf cart to the tee while his caddie carries the heavy golf bag and probably chooses which club to use before handing it to Trumpty Dumpty. Cheeto boy then sways back and forth before taking a swing at the ball. Then he squints to see where it goes before waddling back to the golf cart to repeat it again at every hole. I don’t think that an activity where he burns less than a hundred calories counts as exercise.
@Meiralora Duncan On the money… I don’t think he even plays tennis anymore, which is probably a blessing for everyone around him. Have you ever seen him in his tennis whites? NO! DON’T LOOK!!! You can’t un-see it.
@Gene Miller I disagree. Trump is a hilarious joke to the world and those watching. He’s the product of a corrupt America and dumb inactive uneducated citizens. It’s hilarious.
He’s a little Child, that’s the point I took from this 🤣
@kingtut777
“lying dirtbags”
That’s funny. Even many Republican Senators and Representatives admit that Trump is a lying dirt bag. Go kick rocks.
I agree, they will let anyone have their own shown on CNN and YT
@Mike Hall *Your daddy Trump looks up directly at a solar eclipse* 🤣
@kingtut777 *The Greatest president in history? You must know NOTHING about history if you think 136K dead Americans under your daddy Trump’s watch makes him “the greatest president ever” proves you have brain damage* 🧠🚮
Yellow Flash 👈. Your daddy Biden doesn’t know what a solar eclipse is?
The science says eating less equals longer life. Maybe he should try that. Well… maybe he shouldn’t… 😉
😲
“That fried chicken is going to be the death of you Donald…have another piece”.
Trump, “I love stupid people.”
White male uneducated voters, “i don’t know what that means but Trump is the best.”
@D Eating less,not starving you simpleton.Are you slow?Please tell us you’re a comedian.That’s either funny or the dumbest comment of the week.
Trump is brilliant!! Maybe I should exercise less!! His battery theory of life force is probably right!!! The man God of Trump is always right!!!!
I get it now. This whole battery theory of life energy is just an excuse for Trump not being good at sports
Or at golf! 😀
Trump was scouted by professional baseball scouts when he was young. He was a very good athlete.
Actually Trump was a pretty good athlete when he was young. The dropping of all exercise in the belief that it was a waste of resources sounds very much like the kind of rapacious and self-centred nonsense that his father would have spouted. His father would almost certainly have mocked his son’s sporting ambitions rather than encourage them, and the young Donald was ever eager to be like his odious father.
So what’s his excuse for being bad at business? And leadership? And being a person?
@Spudnick J Quesanar if you believe Trump …. Nobody else has ever confirmed he was scouted. But yes, Trump was supposedly a very talented player on his high school team. He has a powerful golf swing as well. No doubt he could be a decent athlete. But he is pathologically averse to losing, or being perceived to lose. It’s why he blatantly cheats at golf, and it’s probably why he doesn’t like sports — you can’t be a great athlete without losing once in a while. Look at Mahomes or LaBron — the best athletes in the world learn and get stronger from their losses.
It actually isn’t very good “exercise” to drive a golf cart around
His daily bowel movement is his daily exercise and guess what? He wears a mask while doing the Trump Dump, so not to smell the rot of those GOYA Beans.
@MJB For Trump The Trump’s are not pro American. They are pro Trump in a backward kind of way.
He might be exercising his pudgy little fingers as he steers the golf cart.
Donald struggles to walk down steps.

John “Jack” O’Donnell is still alive 3 decades after Trump said he would die young.
O’Donnell wrote the book “Trumped” on working w/The Donald at the failed casinos [plural/LOL].
Sending multiple casinos into bankruptcy takes a special kind of ineptness.
I thought of the “Battery Theory of Life”.
While walking up the back steps to my Grandfather’s home w/my Dad.
Thought maybe everyone gets only so many steps or whatever.
I was 8.
Obama: 113 in 8 years
Trump: 277 in 3 years
Republican: Obama played more than trump.
@God_Laughs _At_Atheists “If I win I may never see my property — I may never see these places again. But because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks.” – Donald Trump (August 2016)

@Demona Viking Amen!
@gary doss
“It’s more an obsession with corruption.”
That also. But the main trait of character a lot of Republicans are “adorned” with is racism. They just love being that way. It just comes naturally. Their ancestors NEVER digested the Declaration of Emancipation and have transmitted their obsession to their
offspring for posterity. Most of them can’t even tell why they hate other races. And of course, corruption goes in pair. Luckily, a large number of Republicans don’t have these traits and understand the nonsense. Many Republicans have very good friends of color and they don’t associate the value of a human being by the color of his skin. NO ONE ON THIS PLANET CHOSE THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN OR HIS ORIGIN. This certainly gives EVERYONE plenty to ponder on.
His weirdest belief is that he’s actually a functioning human being.
@MJB For Trump ~ Trump *_is_* the swamp.
#AnyoneButTrump2020
His weirdest believe is that he is a _stable genius,_ and that he adheres to the ‘battery theory of life force’. When do the aliens land? lol
@Fran H. Mary Smith has left the room.
And likeable! He activates gag refex all over world.
Dude truly is a genius, no wonder he was over the moon at passing a 3rd grade cognitive test.
Hey it’s a sign of intelligence to identify a camel.
They started with a 7th grade test and worked downwards until they found a suitable test for a president who can’t read and write
Sounds like he also thinks that brain energy is also a finite amount he was born with. Thus, he never uses his brain in hope of saving it till the very end.
He’s mistaken, he was born with a finite amount of braincells.(about 50 ).
