Also, he is 47. Men's bodies age rapidly around 45 and again at 65.

Tell me about it. Started resistance training to strengthen the shoulders, they started feeling weak, then the knees started to act up, stopped skipping leg days. 47 is a bummer physically (for the rest: I'm still 25 in my own head).

Zelenskyy and Trump both carry a great weight....but with Trump it's just because he's a fat fuck.
Trump would be carrying the weight of the US and the free world, too.
But he rejected the mantle, he didn't pick it up. He just pokes it sometimes, and points at it and talks about it as something in his possession.
As with his life he wants all of the power and none of the responsibility
I mean, he seems to spend no time off while dismantling democracy. I don't understand why people go so far to ruin other's lives, but not save them.
Fat shaming doesn't somehow become OK when the target is morally reprehensibe.
Trump might look fat but he doesn't weigh much - actually he's 99% hot air.
Weight is one of those things that most people can largely change about themselves. I agree it's a lot harder to regulate your weight when you have conditions that reduce your mobility and make you burn far fewer calories like ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, but the basic principles of thermodynamics still apply.
Trump isn't one of those people with a debilitating condition other than his age. He's genuinely an unpleasant glutton who lives on a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke.
Maybe he can't do anything about him being fat, but he absolutely could stop being a fuck.
Ehh fat people need to stop trying to hone in on the moral high ground of race, sexuality, and disability and just accept they are fat fucks because they eat like pigs and don't deserve special treatment. If you don't like it put down the hoho and eat some fucking kale.
You should eat some makeup so you can be prettier on the inside.
Look how they deep fried my boy.
Got a good chuckle out of me man. Much needed, thanks
It breaks my heart. I have a few Ukrainian coworkers (working remotely), and when we jump in Slack and I chat with them now compared to when we first started working together, all I hear is the weariness, the sadness, the loss. This woman designed all of our proprietary software, and she was always such an upbeat, motivated badass. That cliche of a person "lighting up the room" when they walk in? That's her. Now though? She's had to move three times to avoid bombs, and even though she's safe now, she's lost something that I don't know if she will ever get back.
What I see in this picture of Zelenskyy is what I hear in her voice every time I talk with her. And it makes me fucking furious.
I have a Ukrainian friend since like 2015, he is US citizen now. since last year they force smile and socialise less, just trying to stay busy with their kids.
It's so painful that I don't even know how to talk to him about this anymore. I just let him drive the conversation for most part. Most of the time, in the back of my head, I feel the pain of his family/relatives who have been displaced/disabled/dead.
I can't imagine losing your homeland to a cruel dictator.
Absolute hero this man, every European and democratic country should hope to have its own Zelenskyy.
He wasn't always like this, he was a normal person, a good comediant, but when great and heavy responsibilities come, you change with the times, and for this man, times have been hell. I don't want to be him, knowingly sending my troops and young people to die because of a (insert a bad word for Putin).
I bet many people, professional politicians, people with no principles that care only about money, wouldβve run away leaving their country to suffer. This man had the strength to change and demand help for his own people, that makes him great honour.
If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.
Trump posts crap like this to truth social
That's fucking hilarious.
'Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I'm basically like him!'
'Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I'm basically like him!'
But seriously, can he be like Elvis in this specific way?
Is the left Elvis?
Unfortunately yes. Lol

American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was less than 100 years ago. He was a damned good world leader IMO.
FDR was a great man but he was forged in the fires of a time far far worse. I shudder to think how bad things need to get before we get leadership like that back.

Yea, itβs heartbreaking to see comments like βIβd rather [xyz] than give another billion to Ukraine.β Just no words. I wish these people at least had the courtesy to shut the fuck up.
Mad respect for the man. He really loves his country. Maybe some of our "leaders" should take note. This is what a true badass does when a lot is at stake.
Dudeβs country is being attacked by the βsecond army in the worldβ and he says βI donβt need a ride I need ammunition.β
Iβm amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.

Words can't describe how powerful this picture is to me.
Once the government here in the US ends up in Jail, we'll build a monument to Zelensky. The title might be something like "never forget to not be the nazi." Or "never elect another trump/republican."
Like the Obama photos, but with war included. That shit ages a person. Even a president.
I have been re-watching servant of the people, and itβs just so apparent the amount of stress this man deals with on a daily basis. What a fucking hero.
