Including one who hails from the great state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma senators decided the 79-year-old should be our school-aged children's fitness role model. While the details of the Trump administration's fitness plan are still being worked out, I suspect someone whose only exercise is playing golf probably wouldn't be able to pass the screening. The guidelines are expected to include pull-ups or push-ups, V-ups (a modified version of a sit up), a 1-mile run, and some sort of stretching component to measure how far you can reach beyond your toes.

Over the weekend he wigged out and posted some floridly unhinged shit on his busted little playpen social-media site about how Pope Leo XIV, the supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, is "too liberal" and "weak on crime""for God's sake, there's graffiti all over the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!"apparently in tantrum response to Leo XIV having criticized both Trump's war of aggression on Iran and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's framing of that war as having been ordained by God. A little while later, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, healing by touch a guy who looks an awful lot like Jeffrey Epstein while a crowd of uniformly white people gaze on in wonder. What else. Oh right. Also, toward the end of last week, Trump announced that the United States would begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz, which the nation of Iran has been blockading ever since the U.S. attacked that country illegally and without provocation at the end of February. For those catching up, Trump has spent the past several weeks desperately attempting to browbeat the rest of the world into opening the strait by force on his behalf, while also continually insisting on his social-media website that the strait is of no consequence and also that the U.S. military could open it at any time. Keen students of history may recall way back in double-aught-one week ago, when Trump threatened to destroy the entire civilization of Iran if it did not open the strait within a few hours. A lesser tactician might observe that responding to a blockade of the strait by blockading the strait is the equivalent of punishing a guy for punching you in the face by also punching yourself in the face. What this analysis fails to apprehend is that in war, you cannot be defeated if, whenever anything happens in the war, you say that it was no big deal and also everybody else's fault and also good actually and due to your genius.
