I had never heard of Olivia Julianna before Thursday morning, when I saw this tweet from “Bad Hombre.” Naturally, there were many, many responses along the lines that a hunger strike would do her a lot of good.
But, good decent researcher that I am, I decided to look a bit more deeply, and Google searched her, finding her Twitter account. I wanted to see if she had actually declared a hunger strike until USAID is restored. An admittedly cursory look didn’t find anything like that for her, though she does have other social media channels I did not see.
But I did find this from Miss Julianna, in which she tweeted:
I’m actually down 50 pounds because I can’t afford to eat in Trump’s economy 🙁
That’s pretty amazing! The Trump economy caused her to lose 50 pounds! And, given that Donald Trump had been President for only 16 days when she tweeted that, on February 5th, that’s pretty amazing. Way more effective than Ozempic.
But, alas! it seems that it hasn’t been President Trump’s economy which has caused her weight loss!
So, in her own words, she lost 50 pounds not due to Mr Trump’s economy, but the economy under President Joe Biden! There were 141 days of Mr Biden’s presidency between September 1, 2024, and January 20, 2025, and just 17 days in which Mr Trump had been in officer when she pounded her keyboard.
And, at least by appearances, she’s lost way more than 50 pounds since this photo (supposedly) of her shaking hands with our 46th President!
So, I’ll give virtually all of the credit for Miss Julianna’s weight loss to Mr Biden, but, not to worry, under President Trump and Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F Kennedy, Jr., who wants to Make America Healthy Again, she’ll progress even further.
