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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

Did you try the stupid drug?

[–] echo@lemmings.world 58 points 3 days ago

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

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

Quiet, piggy.

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

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

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] puchaczyk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I recommend DNP

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

He should take a dirt nap

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

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

Anyone who speaks German couldn’t be evil!

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 9 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

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

[–] allriledup@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, exactly, like where the trumpstein files are

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Do us a favor and overdose on something already.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Nah, he’s fat enough.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

He should take an overdose of fentanyl.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (4 children)
[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 3 days 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.

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Or do! Like, take a TON of it

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.
