"Fat Shot Drug" says trump

[senseandsensibility]

Okay, I'll admit off the bat that by trump standards this quote isn't even in the top 100 for insensitivity and/or insanity. But still, he said this this morning:

"A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very very, very top guy. Most of you would've heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight. And he takes the fat shot drug."

Maybe you know who he's referring to. I don't, but I think I know why he has time to stand in front of the camera and "riff" for hours every day. It's because he's not doing anything else, and he knows the media will give him a pass on anything he says.

1. "Mr. President, why don't you take the shot?"

[senseandsensibility]

2. Yes, I wondered about that too

Is this one of those I have a friend who does this or that things when you are really talking about yourself? And calling it fat shot drug? He sounds stupid and ignorant.

8. I copied that quote into an online readability analyzer and it gave it a 4.48 grade level.

13. Readability analyzer?

I was a teacher in elementary schools for almost 20 years and never heard ot this. Can you give me more info since my "teacher curiosity" is aroused?

15. Amazing what one can find on the internets, isn't it?

There’s lots of them, but this is the one I used. Copy/Paste/Analyze and Bob’s yer uncle.

I mean, I don’t know how reliable these free online tools are, but mid 4th grade sounds about right to me for that quote. (I’m also a former elementary school teacher, but I didn’t last nearly as long as you. )

18. Thank you for replying so quickly!

Very few people stay teachers once they enter the profession and see what reality is for teachers. Time, money, stress, constant testing BS, district budgets, complaining parents, bureaucracy, no respect, etc is TOO MUCH!!!!! I read that 3 out of 5 new teachers quit before spending 5 years in a classroom. When I retired it was due to the physical conditions of my classroom which left me with a permanently damaged immune system after black mold was found in my building when my students and I were coughing up blood and the admin did NOTHING about it. Finally I went to my union, looking like death warmed over and they sent professionals into the buildings and 8 ended up being destroyed and then the admin harassed me for causing an "issue".

19. Oh gosh, how awful.

I didn’t make it 5 years. It was partly the time and not enough money—a private school and not one of those fancy private schools. A religious private school where they got away with paying even less than public schools and not even giving you a planning period off, because you had a “calling” to be there.

But I realized after doing it a couple years that I had the wrong personality for it. I went into it because I loved going to school, but I’m super introverted. Having to push myself to keep the kids engaged all day long was exhausting. I eventually ended up in library work which suits me so much better.

[BigmanPigman]

20. It IS exhausting!!!

Every teacher I know would go home and take a nap before doing their own "homework" of preparing an planning lessons, grading papers and tests...yuk!

3. Ozempic and/or Wegovy?

[senseandsensibility]

4. I don't speak trump

but I assume so. It's probably what RFK calls it too.

5. He needs a fat shot to his big fat head.

[BigmanPigman]

16. His big, fat, EMPTY head is an echo chamber.

Whether a shot from a "fat drug" or a mafia hit man whatever goes into that vacuous space will not encounter much organic matter issues (brains) to contend with as a factor in their intended outcome.

6. I take Ozempic, and admittedly, I am fat. I have lost some weight since I started using it,

but it was prescribed for Type II diabetes, not weight control.

At 71, I occasionally blank on a word, but Trump is just ignorant. Who the hell doesn’t know what a baby stroller is, for instance?

7. No Soap Radio. So there.

Maybe he's practicing for his next cognitive test.

[WarGamer]

9. I'm not a Pharmacist of course...

But I'd assume he's talking about Ozempic and Wegovy.

[senseandsensibility]

10. That's a given

I think, but my question at the end is who is he talking about? This very very overweight successful neurotic businessman? I don't know, and I guess it doesn't matter but I just wondered if anyone knew.

[WarGamer]

11. I had assumed he was on it...

Recent pics looked quite slimmed down.

[senseandsensibility]

12. I just don't think he would describe himself as

highly neurotic and very very overweight, although I'm sure many would.

[Lars39]

14. I think he's referring to himself.

He just doesn’t understand what neurotic means.

17. Yet again: Imagine the media response if a DEMOCRATIC politico had said the same thing. (nt)
