"High calorie humans" are no longer welcome in the US

Only the Trump administration could have come up with that term. It means obese people, overweight people, fat people, call them what you want. But seriously? High calorie humans? In this current hellscape administration that is trying to basically eliminate immigration they now have told the offices that issue US visas to consider applicant's health and financial status to see if they will be able to support themselves and their medical care without relying on federal assistance. There are other health issues included aside from obesity like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, "respiratory diseases" (asthma??), and "mental health disorders" (depression? anxiety?). Oh that is rich when most of the country is dealing with at least one of those issues let alone several. Going after obese people to save America money? HAHA he should kick all of the red state fat people off of federal assistance. That would save billions. Who knows? That may be next since Trump is so stupid that he has cut off SNAP from a program that is mostly utilized by his MAGA cult. Oh yeah and he wants to cut Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") subsidies and other health subsidies which is going to jack up the price of health insurance for millions and millions of Americans. Guess who mostly relies on those too? I can't stand Trump but I would have a modicum of respect for him if he just flat out said he only wants rich white people to immigrate. MTG has earned some from me for speaking out against the ACA subsidy ending. Just speak the truth. I may not like it but at least I'll know you are telling it straight. ETA--what about "high calorie humans" like bodybuilders, weightlifters, marathon runners? They aren't obese despite what their BMI (stupid index) might say.
