Don given a clean bill of health by the White House Doctor

6'3 tall and weighing 239 lbs - which puts him 1 inch or 1lb short of being clinically obese.

Here is 6'3 Trump standing next to 6'1 Obama



and next to 6'2 Trudeau




There's already been the birther movement - is this the start of the girther movement?

Haha...good one

Im sure there was some fudging of the numbers, but you should use different photos if you want to prove your point.  First photo, trump is leaning sideways so thats no good......second one Trumps shoulder is noticeably higher than Trudeaus, so he actually does look taller.  Hard to tell with the mop of hair

Where's Ballinaman? He can settle this once and for all. Master of angles on Gaaboard evidence!

Apple investing 350 billion in us economy in next 5 years .

so the stormy daniels interview has been released by in touch magazine, as well as the polygraph she passed and the witnesses interviews. And while I think it is hilarious, it doesn't really impact his ability to be president, the question is now- what does Melania do?
Divorce while in the white house? She'll get whatever she wants not to testify...

Really? Where'd you get that figure from?

This article says "Apple said it expected to invest over $30 billion in the United States over the next 5 years, and would create 20,000 jobs through hiring at existing campuses and through opening a new campus."

It's from their press release

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180117005748/en/

QuoteCombining new investments and Apple's current pace of spending with domestic suppliers and manufacturers — an estimated $55 billion for 2018 — Apple's direct contribution to the US economy will be more than $350 billion over the next five years, not including Apple's ongoing tax payments, the tax revenues generated from employees' wages and the sale of Apple products.

Planned capital expenditures in the US, investments in American manufacturing over five years and a record tax payment upon repatriation of overseas profits will account for approximately $75 billion of Apple's direct contribution.

Can you even imagine if it had been Obama these allegations came out about (Fox News would be fit to be tied!! ;D) or George W Bush??

Trump... ok, that's today's semi-interesting page 8 story...

Porn stars, racism, corruption, daily naked, bald-faced lies... how low can the bar go??

Obama was still President when that campus began construction. I pass by it all the time. Don't tell me Trump is trying to take credit for it. What's it going to be next? Claiming that he got Bin Laden?

When have you ever seen me defend Trump?  I think hes the biggest arsehole that ever walked

(The fact that some one posted a pile of shite yesterday and I called them on it has nothing to do with me "defending" Trump)

Trump's hair loss drug was recently linked to irreversible erectile dysfunction and depression (link: http://bit.ly/2ERPunx)

This is also excellent

Nah, he will claim he was the man that paid four hundred million for four hostages, he will claim releasing multiple Al Queda top men for a traitor, he will claim the 10 trillion in eight years defecit, he will claim black people are worse off from he got in office until he left, the depletion of the funding for the armed services, 60 new genders, the corruption in the democratic party of which he donated money too, you know, that stuff, you can make Obama out to be what you want to kid, he was one of the most useless bastards of all time in that office.


Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.
