Trump says he looks 'extremely good' in shorts

Many 79-year-old men aren't exactly eager to show off what they're working with below the knee.

Donald Trump, per usual, is an exception.

Speaking at the White House on Aug. 22, the president boasted about the appearance of his lower legs.

"I look extremely good in shorts," he said, responding to a question about whether he plans to participate in the FIFA World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in December.

"I may try and play," he joked, prompting laughs from a crowd gathered in the Oval Office. "I'm a very good athlete."

Today's attempt at dark humor. Heck, my husband is almost 73, has better legs than the orange slime, and still doesn't go out in public in shorts.

Is a closed casket that is being lowered into a deep, deep hole in the ground.

And bury it quickly

He probably has minions telling him his legs show the epitome of athletic prowess.

The really young girls almost faint when I tell them my vein is big and purple and long and protruding.

My calves are as big as watermelons, they have more water in them than watermelons.

My knees are big and calloused from my time with Putin. He showed me the best exercise to toughen up my knees.

My legs will end up in the Smithsonian, soon to renamed the Trump Institute, next to Dillinger's exhibit .

Actually, I think he was in his 70’s when that pic was taken. He was in good shape for some one of that age.
