Ooh, ooh…do the Commander in Chief next. He’s the fattest one of all.

You mean civilian leadership vs leadership?

FDR won WWII from a wheelchair, your comment makes no sense.

Sorry, what’s the purported correlation between FDR’s paralysis and Trump’s general unhealthiness?
The idea that the CiC needs to be physically fit to do the job.
Well, they obviously do need to be fit for the job, hence Trump’s mental decline being even more concerning than his original mental state. Given the lack of fit Americans interested in enlistment you might also think a bit of leading by example couldn’t hurt. And of course, I’d hate to be a National Guard member in an administrative role sent home for optics when I didn’t need to be physically fit to perform my job.

“Do need to be fit”

So FDR was fit in his wheelchair when he won WWII?

Seriously, military leadership and civilian are wildly different.

“Optics”

It’s standards and discipline, not optics. Can’t meet the standard, tough shit.

You know the difference, so you’re just nagging.
