Trump’s Insane Theory About Exercise

The Political Gabfest on what to make of the president’s comments about fitness.

In the Slate Plus bonus segment of Thursday’s edition of the Political Gabfest, hosts Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and Jacob Weisberg tackle Trump’s theory and extol the joys and benefits of exercise. If Trump exercised, would he maybe be less angry on Twitter?
