Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Why would someone who has been repeatedly certified as being in perfect health take a fat drug?

[–] fedupwithbureaucracy@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

STOP PUTTING HIS AGE IN THE HEADLINE UNLESS ITS HIS DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago

Quiet, piggy.

I'd recommend cyanide. Puts an end to all his weight worries.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

It would certainly rid the world of an excessive blob of fat.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

He should take a dirt nap

Assuming he means semaglutide then I hope he gets the worst side effects from it. He deserves all the stomach pain and diarrhea idc

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Who cares? Stories like “Trump admits he is fat!” are meant to serve as a distraction from the actual important stuff that’s going on.

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

“Trump, fat pedo nazi, admits he’s fat”

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Do us a favor and overdose on something already.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Nah, he’s fat enough.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (4 children)
[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Yes do! The side effects at his age will kill him.

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Or do! Like, take a TON of it

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 8 months ago

I don't know. I think there is stuff that comes in a capsule form that he should be treated with liberally. If treated enough, he even would stand to lose some weight. He also wouldn't be alive, but at least he would have lost weight.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He probably would have already, but I assume his doctors told him it would kill him. You don't start unrelated new drugs when your health is so bad that you're undergoing regular brain scans and cognitive tests.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 4 points 8 months ago

He should take an overdose of fentanyl.

[–] puchaczyk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I recommend DNP

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think those drugs help with the boypussy body posture?
