Sure, but you’ve got to convince the same guy who believes exercise shortens your life because your heart beats faster during it.

Did Trump say that? 
Yeah he has this silly theory that you have some fixed “battery” of life energy, so training for and doing an ironman is a terrible health idea, for example.

Or even a 5k for that matter.
Well, a lot people actually hold that opinion or similar ones. Heard lots of times people think running is bad for your knees. Even doctors will say stuff like that. All evidence points to the opposite though.
I mean… running is harder on your knees than an elliptical machine, but better than becoming fat… which is also hard on your knees.

running makes your knees strawng
Eh. No it doesn’t. After a time (an hour or so) It makes tendons work harder then they should, because the muscles are too tired. As with every athletic endeavor.
Disclaimer: for average people, not elite athletes with a genetic advantage.
And it helps A LOT not to be overweight while running. Don’t ask me how I know.
Humans are the greatest endurance animals on the planet they can pretty hunt anything down terminator style by outlasting them.

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, “You are going to die young because of this.”
How can anyone be that dumb?
The dude is an idiot…he’s carrying around like an extra 75 pounds in Big Macs ALL THE TIME with everything he does.

It wasn’t too long ago that people thought your back only had so many bends in it until it failed Actually I think a lot of people still believe this, like if you do situps you’re just running the counter down. Nonsense. Turns out movement makes your back strong and being sedentary makes your muscles atrophy.
And STILL take the time to play golf, which has some (physics-defined) work involved.
Not to mention the people who support him.

Anyone else a little wtf about Elon supposedly being a top world player of the recently released Diablo video game. That takes adult son in Mom’s basement level time dedication to achieve…
Strong Bankman-Fried vibes

I can see them possibly not knowing that piece of information about him or believing that it’s not disqualifying given the dearth of good options, so I give them more of a pass in regards to this particular item.
(not overall, of course… but if that was the ONLY concern about Trump then I could potentially see overlooking it)
Is this a video game that requires good reflexes?
If so, I thought most of the very top echelon of players of such games were usually pretty fit, which has a strong correlation with reflexes.
Elon Musk seems… not fit enough to have those kinds of reflexes.
Not really… Diablo is a very grindy game, so much more time vs skill
