CNN articles on fat shaming ... and what do they do ? Fat Shame
unbelievable
I don't think you understand. Trump has a history of shaming women because of their weight. And their appearance. You don't see the irony in that? An ugly, fat, doughy man with some kind of yellow-dyed combover? Commenting on other peoples' appearance? Think about it. Trump has waived the right to avoid such shaming. Perhaps he should have considered his history before letting himself go.

Saying someone is overweight is a statement of fact, not fat shaming. It is also a true statement he doesn't exercise (unless you consider his golfing while driving around in a cart exercise). And as Sho Nuf mentioned it was a paraphrase if not a direct quote of what his doctor said in the press briefing.

He's fat. And not a sold-fat like some people. he's doughy and blubbery. CNN is trying to save his life.

Thank you, sir.
So Trump is the oldest at this point in his presidency and if/when he finishes this term he'll be the second oldest sitting president, right alongside Reagan whom people also had some of these concerns about. I'm glad Trump had the report done.

If you don't think body shaming is OK, then it has to be across the lines and NEVER ok
you can't make exceptions to fit your needs - that's hypocritical
that's a great philosophy in trying to be a better world right there isn't it ?

By the way is this the Harrison who supposedly died from outside exposure? Again if so it's a legitimate issue to raise with Trump.

Quotes from Trump. (From Cosmopolitan article) Remember, Trump has been fat shaming people for a very long time. You voted for this man and defend him every day.
“No, let’s just pretend it’s not Kim. Does she have a good body? No … Does she have a fat ###? Absolutely. And if it weren’t Kim, they’d say, ‘Wow, I don’t want to go out with her.’” —Donald Trump on The Howard Stern Show in 2013 after Stern asked whether Kim Kardashian is "really a beauty"
“You know, I really like J.Lo, but that ### is…” —Donald Trump on The Howard Stern Show in 2003 after Stern said Jennifer Lopez wouldn't make the list of "three hottest chicks" Trump has ever seen because "her ### is too fat"
“You’re not eating Oreos anymore. No more Oreos.” —Donald Trump to Gov. Chris Christie during a speech at a campaign fundraiser in New Jersey
“There was one guy who worked for the city who Donald [Trump] referred to as ‘the fat f**k,’ but I don’t think you can print that. That’s how we grew to know him — not by his name, but as ‘the fat f**k.’ Also, we had a guy who was a lawyer for us and he was overweight, and Donald made a comment to him like, 'You really like your Snickers, huh?' or something like that. He even said things like that to me.” —Former Trump Organization executive Barbara Res to Rolling Stone in 2016
“[Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado] weighed 118 pounds or 117 pounds and she went up to 160 or 170. So this is somebody that likes to eat.” —Donald Trump to Inside Edition in 1996

“If I were running The View, I’d fire Rosie [O’Donnell].

"[Donald Trump] was calling some girls some pretty horrible names as well. He said to me myself, 'Suck your stomach in,' or 'Suck your gut in.'" —Former Miss Australia Jodie Seal on her experience with Trump during the 1996 Miss Universe competition to Inside Edition in 2016
“I heard a producer talk to him, and [Donald] Trump said, ‘Everybody loves a fat guy. People will watch if you have a funny fat guys around. Trust me, it’s good for ratings.’” —An Apprentice producer to Slate.com discussing why Trump wouldn't fire a contestant who was constantly messing up
"She's gotten a little bit large ... I would say this, I don't think you should dress like you weigh 120 pounds." —Donald Trump on Showbiz Tonight, discussing Kim Kardashian's body when she was pregnant with North West, even though he was only asked if she should have a baby registry
“I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weights 400 pounds.” —Donald Trump at the first presidential debate on who hacked into the Democratic National Committee server

“You know, it’s amazing. I mention food stamps and that guy who’s seriously overweight went crazy. He went crazy.” —Donald Trump to a crowd at his 2016 campaign rally in Worchester, Massachusetts, when a protester was escorted out
"Sometimes [Donald Trump] would 'play' with me and say 'Hello, Miss Piggy!' or 'Hello, Miss Housekeeping!'" —Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado in a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign video.
"[Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado] was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem. We had a real problem." —Donald Trump on Fox & Friends after Clinton brought up Trump's comments about Machado at the first presidential debate

they will destroy fat Oprah then won't they ?
did you see pictures of Hillary ? she's quit plump .... I don't remember the CNN articles on her do you ?
but I'm glad you made it clear - we need to call fat people out and not solid fat people, the blubbery ones and try to save their lives
Kelly Clarkson, Oprah, Rosie, Adele ....... right ?

I guess we’ll need to refer to Donald as a plus size President.

not an experiment anymore
media is used to lead the people in how they think
and people are too stupid to see it
I'm surprised the GOP doesn't play the same games, if it gets votes and wins elections ...... maybe they'll adapt eventually

Donald should embrace his plus sizedness instead of lying about his height and weight.

LOL You can skew it any way to make yourself feel better I suppose. I give you credit for the commitment you have to defend a person like Trump. I don't know why you do it. Maybe it makes you feel better about your vote.
TobiasFunke

I'd say you need to explain why it bothers you when a network does it in passing but not when a candidate for president of the united states does it throughout his life. And how that disparity doesn't make you either a troll or a massive hypocrite. After all you're the one who brought it up and is outraged or feigning outrage.
So, let's hear it. Why do you condone a man who does this all the time becoming the most prominent role model in America but get upset when you think CNN did it once?

What's really funny is that he just indirectly fat shamed some women with his post above. He keeps adding other people to the conversation that have nothing to do with the topic. I bet those women would take offense to his post.

Hillary is not President.
Hillary did not have a doctor hold a press conference at the White House discussing the results.
During the campaign CNN ran no articles about either Hillary or Trump being overweight.
A doctor has rarely taken my vitals. Its almost always done by a medical assistant or nurse.

Did c comes in...asks me a few questions...listens to heart, lungs, bowels...does the few taps on the stomach and knees...checks lymph nodes...then sends me to the lab for blood work, EKG, and chest X-rays.
Not sure it works the same for POTUS...as they likely always want as few people in the know as possible. But for an actual physical...yeah, doubtful the doctor was the one measuring height and weight.

I enjoyed some of your posts when you were more serious. It's too bad as we do need some Trump POV around here.

I'd like to see Trump go three minutes with Biden in the ring, UFC style.
Sure. I just don't want to hear people who have no problem when Trump does it, suddenly become outraged because he's getting the same thing thrown back at him. Talk about hypocrisy.

I can't remember what it was, but you seem to have just been trolling me lately and if it was one of those type of questions (just ridiculing and/or not seeking a serious discussion or answer to a question) then I won't bother wasting my time responding to it.

Wiki;
“Harrison's doctors tried several cures, such as applying opium, castor oil, leeches, and Virginia snakeweed, but the treatments only made Harrison worse and he became delirious. He died nine days after becoming ill,[110] at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 4, 1841. Harrison's doctor, Thomas Miller, diagnosed Harrison's cause of death as "pneumonia of the lower lobe of the right lung".[109] A medical analysis made in 2014, based on Dr. Miller's notes and records of the White House water supply being downstream of public sewage, concluding that he likely died of septic shock due to enteric fever.[”
1841 is one of only two years we had three Presidents in the same year (1881 when Garfield was assassinated was the other.)

If opium, castor oil, leeches and Virginia snakeweed won't cure it I don't want to catch it.

I'd like to test the cognitive part of the evaluation, except with more job-related questions. "What does DACA stand for?" "Which Article of the Constitution establishes the powers and duties of the President?" "Here is a world map, please point to Iran." I'd pay good money to watch that.

Because none of the other Presidents could threaten our country as much as Barrack? I was all for looking for a reason to get rid of Obama and if it meant to prove he was not a legal President because of where he was born so be it. To throw out the race card again is sad and expected.

One of the problems with complaining about playing the race card when it comes to Trump is that Trump is a big ole racist.

DC was a nasty place for the majority of 19th century. There was an open sewage ditch near the WH. One of reasons Lincoln spent so much time at the Old Soldiers Home (still standing - now called Armed Forces Retirement Home, & Lincoln’s summer cabin is there) was the WH had a serious fly problem in the summer.

How come you condone a man who fat shamed all the time becoming the most prominent role model in America but get upset when you think CNN did it once?
Stealthycat
Footballguy
in other words, you'd blast a news outlet for calling Hillary fat, or Oprah or anyone else really
except Trump, and you like CNN calling him fat
I get it, I am the same way sometimes. Its easy to toss aside ethics and morals when the people you highly disagree with are the ones being attacked. Its easy to ignore what's right and what's wrong in those cases. I do it too.
Don't make it right though, and if ya'll want me and conservatives to call things evenly and fairly, lead the way, give us a good example to follow.
CNN fat shaming Trump isn't doing that at all
