Bonkers Trump Comments, Late April 2019 ed.

Boarding Marine One:
Q Mr. President, how old is too old to be President?

Trump, age 72, has an official weight of 242 pounds, which defines him as obese. (He probably weighs much more.)  He gorges on junk food, does not exercise, and is is too weak to play golf without a golf cart.

An April 26 interview with Hannity:

  • "We have nothing to do with Russia except that we have been tougher on Russia than any administration in 50 years -- a lot tougher than Obama." (See the Trump Tower Moscow letter of intent.)
  • "This was a coup. This wasn't stealing information from an office in the Watergate apartments. This was an attempted coup. And it's inconceive -- like a third world country -- and inconceivable."
  •  "No collusion and also no obstruction, because the statement was made and the attorney general, you know, understood it very well and he read it and he made a decision right on the spot. No obstruction."  (Some collusion and lots of obstruction)
