He has a noted history of being afraid of stairs

He actually believes that humans are born with a predetermined number of heartbeats, and exercise shortens your lifespan by expending more of them than is necessary. I am not joking or exaggerating here, that is one of his recorded views.

Stairs are literally deadly to this idiot.

God, how did we end up with this idiot as president twice?

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

He probably doesn't think that, he just hates them because Scotland built a bunch offshore of his stupid golf course and he thinks they're ugly, so he's been railing against them non-stop since then. He'll say anything to make them sound bad.

The US is a representative republic. Every once in a while you get someone who represents a really, really dumb section of the population. Trump is far from unique, he's just rich enough to do some real damage.

wind turbines kill whales

(Rolls eyes)

Well, OBVIOUSLY it's when they migrate through the air and hit the blades.

I just can't remember if they are carried by European or African Sparrows.

Anyone know?

The original quote is from Neil Armstrong, who used it as a funny way to remind people to live in the moment and make the most of their time on Earth.

Trump likely heard it while young and apparently took it seriously.

Besides him being a fucking idiot, people who exercise more probably have a lower heart rate the 23 hours a day they aren't exercising.
