Encouraging youth fitness is hardly something to be upset about, and using a power he has to ... encourage youth fitness ... is certainly not something to remove the president from office over.

Ordinary I would agree wit you. But, with Trump, I'm just wondering if there will be a swimsuit competition or not...

I would love if the president had to be able to run a mile and do pull-ups. Might keep these braindead racists off the throne.

Or they'll just make exceptions because hypocrisy is a strategy not a weakness for them

But it would likely stop 60+ year olds from being president
GraniteM@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
But would it be worse than the current system?

You’re talking about the vice president? But instead of trafficking teen girls, we’ll see endless articles on sofas
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y
Probably, yeah. Do you think Bernie could do it?
ebolapie@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Bernie runs.

A presidential fitness test for the president and congress would be pretty cool actually.
als@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 1y
Or, more likely, it'd just be used to keep disabled people even further out of politics than they already are
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y
Obviously we'd need special rules for the disabled

Yeah, wouldn't wanna pass up on another potential FDR!

A little strange for a guy who shouldn't be allowed near schools to begin with.
kent_eh@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y
Not to mention a guy who wouldn't be caught dead in a gym.

How many hamberders do the kids have to eat to get the certificate?
Reverendender@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 1y
That’s enough out of you. We don’t feed school children in this country! The balls on this one. Someone alert ICE!

Hey now, easy fix. They'll only have to earn that lunch money down in the mines.
Fredselfish@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y
My wife said he should have to do. She also said throw in some math questions too.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
Or just have him draw a clock.

No one can do it because they all have bone spurs. So sad, but what can you do?
Reverendender@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 1y
I had bone spurs in my shoulder once. Then I had an operation and no longer had bone spurs. Then my shoulder worked normally, and I could do normal things.
MML@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 1y
Well that's why you're not president

Fat racist* pedo* slob

Let's see him pass one as a show of good faith.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 1y
But if he shits himself and collapses after 20 paces he's disqualified right?
WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 1y
Ah, so wanting kids to pass tests that would put them on the path to military fitness or provide lists of capable soldiers. I see what you’re doing…
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 1y
Honestly this is an idea we should have been getting ahead of.
Gonna need some able bodies to rush the new reichstag.
HubertManne@piefed.social · 19 pts · 1y
Its not bringing anything back. Obama just improved it and he wants to go back to the old way.
Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 18 pts · 1y
He goes first
dogslayeggs@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y
OK, fine. Sure, whatever.
Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 1y
Ha ha mis-read the title and thought he was doing a public demonstration of his own fitness. I could use the laugh.

I remember it from elementary school in the 80s. Not from high school though.
WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
Is he bringing this back in order to find fit children to rape?
riskable@programming.dev · 4 pts · 1y
I'm confused. I thought they didn't want the brown people to be more fit than law enforcement?

If that was a serious concern, there wouldn’t be so many overweight cops.

I hated these. I just wanted to play games and have fun in gym class.
