    I haven't read the article, but when I saw the headline I said to myself, "too bad, that tree must be very old and sick."

    While I agree the media uses deceptive tactics, I think the "liberal" media if held to a far far higher standard than the right-wing media.

    Continuing the theme... irony (since I don't want to accuse Sanders of lying)...

    CNN.com's current headline is "Overweight and doesn't exercise".

    ...meanwhile the doctor said Trump is healthy. CNN has turned into total trash. They used to be respectable (like during the first Gulf War!), but no longer.

    This pretty much sums it up. The media is absolute trash.

    they have a delusional fantasy of getting rid of Trump, either by him dropping dead, or by a soft coup where he is declared insane

    It seriously has. I blame fox news, but sad that other outlets are following. I honestly can't tell journalistic difference between ESPN and CNN sometimes. There are still good news out there, but now we just have to work harder for it.

    Probably the first time journalists have been able to ask questions to someone with half a brain in over a year.

    But it's clear Trump is mentally ill. At best, he summers from NPD. At worst he's losing his mind.

    You have to give them credit - Trump doesn't know how to run a country, but he knows how to use the media. He totally set them up and they took the bait and made fools of themselves. Trump understands the press so well.

    Nice conservative circle jerk. They fawn over the reaction from the manufactured fake press conference with the fake spelled doctor projecting good health throughout the rest of the term.

    How about that Fox News story on the p*rn star hush money?

    I think it's news worthy to understand at what ends Trump, the POTUS, is willing to lie about.

    Basically anything.

    This isn't celebrity gossip news. Remember, this isn't the year 2015, where Trump is a celebrity. He's a president now. We have to treat his actions as such. Remember that.

    LOL, the trump supporters found a safe place. Honestly, I believe trump is physically health, especially for a 70+ year old man. He lives a healthy lifestyle one expects from a very wealthy man, and reportedly doesn't drink or smoke. That said...the reality is trump's aversion to telling the truth spills out over those around him. And his lies about the silliest things (not excluding the insane health report his own personal doctor releases last year):

    For example, trump is supposed to be 6'3" and 239 pounds? Perhaps on the moon...



    Or if you just look at his reported height:

    Trump is obese.

    Remember, BMI is accurate only if you have average amounts of muscle mass. So if you don't routinely lift weights BMI is pretty accurate. Most people who don't lift weights and say their BMI isn't accurate don't know what being lean and healthy actually looks like. The opposite is true also. If you are Trump's age(70+) and live a sedentary life style(golf is part of an sedentary lifesystle), then BMI isn't accurate anymore also.

    So Trump is conveniently one pound under what is considered obese at his height. But we know his muscle mass is lower than average being 70+ years old and living and inactive life style.

    So he's obese. Not technically new news since a simple eye glance at his mid section without a jacket on makes it rather obvious.


    Your president is obese. Deal with it conservative posters.
