I don't care that Trump's stint at McDonald's was staged. What he couldn't fake was that he's unhealthily obese, By Hal M. Brown, MSW




Of course Trump is known for his love for McDonald's and hasn't been shy about allowing photos of him eating their food to be shared. His doing a made for TV stink at McDonald's is said be have been motivated by Kamala's touting her working class creds by talking about having worked there. 

A number of articles have noted that Trump's visit to McDonald's was not only a staged event but that those who went though the drive-through were pre-screened to be his supporters and, as would makes sense, were checked by the Secret Service. I don't find this alarming. What I am surprised at is that he allowed himself to be photographed is decidedly unflattering ways.

I am sure this is the image he wanted to present to voters:


If he was smart and not in denial about how fat he is he would never had allowed anyone to take photos like the ones below.

In this one he just looks like a squat old man not the tall imposing figure he fancies himself to be:

This shows how fat he is...

... but in this you can clearly see a roll of fat.


Here's the interview from in the restaurant where he claims falsely that Kamala Harris never worked at a McDonald's. She did, though like many people (myself included when I worked two summers in college as a groundskeeper at at large county park), she didn't include what was a summer job on her resume. 


Here are some frequently shared photoes of Trump which I am sure he wishes were never taken.

Some of the photos he has to hate are these and others of his playing golf with his ample girth on display:

Compare these with two other presidents Trump loves to hate engaging in sports:



And eat you heart out, Trump, if you can find it under layers of fat, compare yourself engaging in a sport which takes no more physical effort than billiards or pool with Kamala dancing:
Don't get me started on what Trump considers to be his Travolta level dancing moves. These have snarkily have compared to his making obscene gestures to music. In keeping with the PG rating of this blog I'm not putting a link to the article in the PRIDE website which addresses this. You'll have to use your imagination or do some creative web searching to see what I am referring to.

Getting (more) serious:

There has been criticism over Trump refusing to release a complete medical reported about his health like this in HUFFPOST:

Much attention has been paid to whether he has early dementia. This would be difficult to determine without extensive neurological testing. I think he shows these signs but there's no way to know with a reasonable degree of certainty. 

There are several health related things about Trump that we do know about this 78 year old man.  One is that he gets no significant exercise and that he has a terrible diet. We know from photographs and videos that he is overweight. You might want to add his not getting the sleep required for optimal health.

Here are more illustrations because (I had trouble deciding which one to use when I asked Perchance Photo AI for an image of a fat Trump eating McDonald's. You can see why it was difficult to chose the best one below:


Here's a shoutout to Perchance, the free photo generating AI program I often use to make illustrations for my blogs.
