There could be trouble in the Fox News-Tucker Carlson-Donald Trump paradise.
Or, at least, a difference of opinion.
“… whom most physicians consider obese.”
None that live in North Korea.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was subtlety amused as he described a “visibly winded” dictator, whom most physicians consider obese.
Are we sure he was talking about Kim?
Mr Carlson is “barely a physician” as much as I am barely a millionaire.
Given the tabloid nature of this Presidency, I honestly first thought they were talking about Kim Kardashian when I saw this headline.
Oh ho. Those weird Trump comments about how healthy he seemed are, to nobody’s surprise, obviously just reflexive lying. Well. Being winded from a 60-foot walk is a possible sign of serious heart disease in a young obese smoker. Good thing he avoids stress by having anyone who causes him any killed.
TC’s barely an 'effin television personality.
And I’m barely an NFL linebacker.
He is barely a human being.
“Kim was visibly winded from the … probably 20-yard walk,” Carlson said
“He looked really well and very healthy,” Trump said.
Not necessarily “a difference of opinion.” Carlson could be stating his objective determination while Trump is stating his subjective determination using himself as the point of comparison.
TC has joined the exclusive club of fat egomaniacs.
Yes. A reflexive lie. Confirms what Carlson had to say. Why would you bring a counterpart’s health up unless something about Kim’s appearance was troubling?
Carlson of course could be correct about Kim’s wheezing but wrong about the cause. Maybe KIm was running late and had to scurry 200 yards to get to where the event was staged on time - and that explained his being winded, not a 20-yard saunter.
Carlson is “barely human.” As in technically a human, I guess.
But, really, I think we need more testing to confirm it.
As long as Kim gets his dues paid on time he will continue to get glowing compliments from his money hungry friend.
“Paging Dr Carlson… Dr. Carlson… Cleanup in Aisle 3.”
A). If I were Carlson I would watch my back carefully just now and stay out of strange airports.
B). Trump is trying to make this work by buttering up Un. Carlson just undid a good part of his work. This is why we have actual diplomats.
If it was anyone else I would say Tucker is throwing shade on Trump.
Exactly, I’m saying Kim but wink, wink, we all know who I really mean.
Everything’s relative. Remember Trump had to ride in a golf cart while the other G-7 leaders managed to walk less than a half mile. So compared to Trump, Kim looks like a long-distance swimmer.
Exactly. I think the biggest heart problem Kim has is that…he doesn’t have one.
