Fussy seater: Trump will not be sitting in any seats that have built-in sides. Trumps advance team only wants seats with backs and open-sides for his meetings in the Congress Center. As befits a president with a body mass index of 29.9.

(6,400 posts)I weigh a good hundred over Trump's "official" weight and I dislike seating for the same exact reasons. It's incredibly uncomfortable.
But the fat-shaming is only toward Trump. Anyone else who takes offense to it, as I've been told, needs to just relax because it's a joke and not about them. It's ONLY about Trump.

(131,073 posts)Don't mean this to be fat-shaming, but he's brought it on himself.

(42,598 posts)But that's because I like to pull up my knees and sit cross-legged on the chair. I doubt that's Trump's issue.

Claustrophobia is the fear of being enclosed in a small space or room and unable to escape. It can be triggered by many situations or stimuli, including elevators crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, small cars and even tight-necked clothing. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder, which often results in panic attacks. The onset of claustrophobia has been attributed to many factors, including a reduction in the size of the amygdala, classical conditioning, or a genetic predisposition to fear small spaces.

KY_EnviroGuy
(14,494 posts)Although someone, somewhere I bet has real claustrophobia about arm chairs.
What I would almost bet happened is that in some public place in the past, he got stuck in one of those chairs - perhaps in a restaurant or office, and some people had to help him get out of the chair. He is extremely egotistical and swore that would never happen again. As pResident, he has plenty of minders to insure it does not happen, at least not in public where he could be embarrassed.
Looking at some of the photos of him on the golf course, his backside is a mile wide, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

(6,212 posts)and trump probably did get his oversized butt stuck in a chair.

(14,494 posts)He undoubtedly is a germaphobe. I shudder to think of what the WH staff, Secret Service, and places where he travels go through to accommodate his phobias and whims.
Hundreds of books will be written about this presidency and its oddities, and shattering of all norms.

That is what he wants to do in England.
He just has a big fat ass.
He always sits on the edge of chairs.

(10,234 posts)Thats my preference, as opposed to nothing on the sides. As to being sort of boxed in I wouldnt mind that to get arm rests.
Sure seems like its something because of his fat ass. Im 6 2 (or was when I was younger, probably have lost an inch with age) and I think I might have hit 240 lbs at one point briefly in my life. But havent had the huge ass Trump has. He has one of those pear shapes. Shit my brother got up to 320-330 for awhile and his ass was never as big as Trumps. Some of it is no doubt genetic but cruising around on a golf cart eating from your silver spoon your entire life no doubt keeps your butt muscles weak.

(182,868 posts)A QUIET DEVASTATION descended upon the tranquil and serene snow capped hills of Davos, Switzerland this morning after news broke that the World Economic Forums annual peasant hunting would have to be cancelled due to excessive snow.
The excessive snow has delayed the arrival of some important figures to the forum already, and hunting experts felt there was too great a chance that the peasants could get away in harsh conditions with poor visibility.
However, the fun isnt completely ruined for the attendees as tomorrows millionaire hunting will take place as planned with billionaires set to joyfully hunt down those pathetic individuals who have only amassed a modest fortune.
As a direct fallout from the heavy snow, peasants kept aside for the hunting today will be shot out back behind a shed, organisers of the forum reassured WWN.
Meanwhile, it has been a tough WEF for US President Donald Trump thus far shortly after he was refused entry to the exclusive Billionaires Lounge at Davos for not actually being a billionaire, Trump was then told by a number of leaders that this is the meeting room here before being placed in WEFs onsite creche facility.

(63,221 posts)He always sits like he is on a toilet anyway, so it would just make sense to get him a toilet chair. No pesky sides and it would remind him of tweeting in the wee hours at home. I think he would like it.
