Trump says exercise depletes your life force.

Trump is a taijiquan qi hippie!

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/08/politics ... index.html

For the uninitiated: Trump ascribes to what has been described as the "battery" theory of, um, life force. Evan Osnos, in a profile of Trump in the New Yorker a few years back, described it thusly: "Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy."
Exercise, other than golf, of course, is viewed by Trump as an unnecessary drawing down of your battery life.

...

"After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, 'You are going to die young because of this.'"

Also, he clearly understands that Zhan Zhuang is what is really good for you. Why do weekend warrior b.s. that screws up your knees and hips?!

"Trump said he was not following any special diet or exercise regimen for the campaign. 'All my friends who work out all the time, they're going for knee replacements, hip replacements -- they're a disaster,' he said. He exerts himself fully by standing in front of an audience for an hour, as he just did. 'That's exercise.'"


;D

Judging by his hot dog eating habits he is a heart attack waiting to happen, his life force is buried in cholesterol

Give him a break. He prefers Diet Pepsi (or Coke?) and cheesburgers. Breakfast of champions, and celebratory banquet for football players. He just had a checkup, and only gained a few pounds, according to his doctor --the one he put forth to run the VA (iinm) after saying he was healthy.

I think it's funny how he criticized the guy ahead of him for taking too much time off at the golf course. Then he spends 50K for a golf simulator in the WH. I'm not a golfer, but I thought that walking the links would be good exercise. But, I guess alpha males don't have to walk.

perhaps he follows the advice of the North Korean propaganda machine.... "our leader toils so diligently he no longer defecates... All his food is converted into pure energy..."

In a different post, Charles noted..

"After an all-out fa jin demonstration, CXW, then in his early 50's, would spend a couple of days recovering from the demonstration. In traditional verbiage, it expends qi at an age where one ought to start conserving qi."

So now we have CXW agreeing with Trump. MAGA! ;D

:) We'd love to see Trump fa jin. He must have done quite a bit in his youth, and that's why he's in such good shape today.
