Just looking at his face shows he's aging badly. Listening to him talk makes you certain there's a problem.

I think I'm pretty likely to outlast Trump, and I'm turning 72 in a few months.

And either every picture of him is retouched to make him look fat, or he weighs quite a bit more than what they're claiming.

4.8% body fat? 4.8%?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

At various points in my life, I hung out with high level athletes, like Olympic and world champion speedskaters and professional hockey players. That was primarily because my kid was interested in those activities and participated to the best of her ability. (I claim no abilities at all.)

I can tell you that none of those speedskaters - not exactly fat slobs - were below 5% body fat. None. The males averaged maybe 7% or so.

Hey! I even researched this a bit just now and found this:

The 1980 Olympic USA speedskating team was the one Eric Heiden was on. He won every race he was entered in - five gold medals.

Trump should obviously have diverted a bit of his time to Olympic sports when he was younger. Perhaps those bone spurs got in the way.

Maybe he's just competing with Kim Jong Un for, well, I don't know what.
