    Also, the weight of some American fraudster is hardly newsworthy, and the connection to politics is slim at best.

      Slim, unlike that wastline… phew.

      Though it is relevant tangentially in that it’s a great indicator of how petty, dishonest, and unworthy of power he is.

            Almost 3 in 4 Americans are fat. It’s inevitable that plenty of them are in denial about this simple fact.

            I doubt they’re all bad people as it goes. Everybody’s at least a bit vain, insecure or prideful. Whether it’s adding an extra inch, deducting a few pounds, pretending you’re more succesful than you actually are, lying to yourself and others about that thing you did, touching up your photos or leaving your exact age a secret.

            Crucially however, the overwhelming majority of those people who lie (to themselves and others) about their weight, aren’t convicted rapists, traitors, or fascists.

              Claiming he’s 215 is a lot more than “a few pounds” and I’d bet the majority of people at least make an attempt at good faith when filling out official paperwork.
