From the weird beliefs file

Trump thinks exercise is bad for you.

It’s old news, but it’s so absurd I can’t just look away.

Most recently, there was this nugget of information from a New Yorker magazine story about the president. Trump “considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy,” writes Evan Osnos.

This belief is also described in the Washington Post’s biography of the 45th president, which explains that he gave up sports after college because of this same mysterious “battery” belief, that working out would deplete his energy.

But but but then how does he explain all the successful athletes who…work out?

Spoiler: he doesn’t.
