I Guess Trump's exercise criticism isn't too crazy after all.

Sen. Thom Tillis hospitalized after collapsing during race | New York Post


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."

Seriously? He criticized the president so you hope he dies? Or at least don't care?

This is why people compare Trump to Hitler. Some of his followers are entirely uncritical of anything. It's called totalitarianism. It's an ideology that demands unity of ideas and typically personifies power. These ideologies are universally considered evil by all who do not follow them. Where does that leave you, do you think?

Now he has a pre-existing condition and could have trouble getting health insurance if TrumpCare is enacted.

On a more serious note, putting politics aside, I hope Senator Tillis is ok. He might have had a heart attack based on news reports saying that he was given CPR. Praying for him to be ok.

Maybe he comes out of this and decides that pre-existing conditions protections should be required at the federal level and not decided by the states.

I mean, at least you own up to the fact that you hope those who don't mindlessly agree with you die. That's something...

I don't even LIKE Tillis but I hope he recovers from his injuries.

Honestly! I'm floored that someone who supports a Republican president is wishing ill on a Senator who has generally supported Trump.

Hell, I have more reasons not to like him (like the confirmation of that idiotic DeVos woman) than any Trumper would have to dislike him.

What makes this country great is that we CAN criticize our leaders.

So, he criticized Trump. Trump is an adult.

Sheesh.

Weird reason to wish ill on a person.
