My dad, who is 81, is in better shape than Trump. You know why? Because he's been exercising for years.
Exercising is only a part of the picture. My father is 80 years old and in better shape than Trump too. Other than having a physical job in his younger years (pipe fitter), he hasn't exercised a day in his life, and to top that off, he has had some rather self-destructive habits (smoking, drinking) over the course of his lifetime.
Genetics is a huge part of the picture. On both sides of my family, the males generally lived into their 90s. Not a one of them, as far as I know, ever exercised. Many of them smoked and drank as well. So you cannot attribute the fountain of youth solely to exercise, although I know most people would like to think they can. If your "bloodline" typically has health problems (especially certain types) or short life spans, unfortunately, chances are good that the trend will continue. Not saying exercise isn't a good thing, but it's not the only thing.

Sigh. Anyone with a brain knows how important exercise is to mental & physical health. To say that exercise isn't needed or important is the height of stupidity. I shouldn't have to explain this, period.

Where did he say that?
What he DID say was that excercise doesnt guarantee you good health and longevity. It can be a factor of things such as genetics.

I didn't SAY it wasn't important! Can you please show me where I did? I said that there are other factors as well, and anyone not willing to admit that is ignoring MEDICAL and SCIENTIFIC FACT. I shouldn't have to explain that either. It's only a fanatic that would actually assume that the ONLY factor to longevity is exercise. That's not at all the findings of geneticists and medical researchers.
And if you want to compare brains, I'm more than willing to compare verified IQ tests. Just PM me.

I am hoping all of Trump lovers will put their mouth where the money is, and stop doing any exercise from today on.
This is what you progressives don't seem to understand. We do not worship our representatives, we do not think them above us, or authorities over our lives. You see, we think they serve us and we think each individual knows what is best for themselves, not what some politician thinks.
Now I know it is hard for you folks to understand, being that you have made yourselves subjects to those you wish to rule over you, but when the president says something like this, it means nothing to people like me, as his personal opinion on something is irrelevant to my own, because.. like I said, I am not a sheep who worships at the altar of a political appointee, that is what you people tend to do.
Sorry to burst that bubble of yours.
