TOKYO—Triumphantly pounding his chest as he slammed his feet down in the ring for the first time in weeks, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter was reportedly back on the elite sumo wrestling circuit Monday, despite have undergone hip surgery less than a month ago. “It was tough for Jimmy to be away from the sport this long, so it’s been a huge relief to see him recover from his injury and get back into fighting form,” said Carter’s trainer, Daisuke Watanabe, expressing surprise at just how quickly the 94-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner was able to throw his opponent out of the ring and improve his rank from sekiwake to ōzeki. “I know it hasn’t been easy for him to resume his old routine of strength training and consuming 20,000 calories per day, but he’s made absolutely remarkable progress. The fact that he’s getting used to a new prosthetic hip and can still muster the power to lift his opponent in the air and toss him off the dohyō is nothing short of amazing. It couldn’t have come at a better time, either, because the sport was really missing a lot in his absence.” After winning his match, sources reported the 39th president was seen lounging shirtless in the locker room sauna, sweating it out with several of his 500-pound rivals.

Is that DonaldTrump Carters fighting

Fun Fact: JFK faked his death and became Jimmy Carter. Ask realDonaldTrump

That’s more disturbing than maybe it should be.

Chris Kattan Podcasts The Sumo match.

Elite? The guy’s wrestling for peanuts.

Thanks, I hate it.

So brave

So this may be what President Trump refers to as the 'Fake News.'

Is that a burrito in that speedo?

Gonna give me nightmares!

Jimmy is looking good. Nice to see him back.

TheGOAT sumogod

He’s amazing

peanut_brigade

That's silly! Jimmy would never quit MMA for sumo!

'Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!'

🥜

😀

They should launch a brand of Sumo Flush Toilets, you know they'd be capable of flushing anything any size.

yourewrongabout

Happy to see that he’s continuing in the sport after his injury and given his age! You go, Mr. Carter!!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Bleach...for my eyes...STAT! 😱😱😱

Out of his malaise

Gross, I'd rather have seen Trumps fat, flabby ass there. Most especially because I bet he claims he knows more about Sumo wrestling than anyone.

Such an inspiration!!

mayyyy888

I love you!

Roslyn gets to bang the winner!

peanut_brigade Is it real or photoshopped? 😂

I love Jimmy Carter, but that's hilarious.

😁

That's Kermit the frog

🤣🤣🤣

OK...I can't unsee that.

It’s inspiring stuff.

Although his sumo opponents are complaining that Carter violates the rules by competing while wearing only his black 'adult diaper'...

Those thighs are the stuff of nightmares

Yeah but will he play in the NBA finals?

lol cursed image

he was in a malaise

ArtDecider ?

Wrestler: 'Are there any challengers man enough?!' Carter: 'Hold my Billy Beer.'

Getting fit for his 2020 campaign. Run Jimmy Run!

So glad this image perspective is not the other way around.

I remember when The Onion used to be funny, now they’re just reporting the news. Sad!

It looks like JimmyCarter vs. .realDonaldTrump

Which one is Jimmy?

This is the picture I shall think of when my hot blonde family doctor asks me to strip down for a hernia check, next week.

Go get 'em Jimmy. I'm pullin for ya.

¡Es hora de cultivar algunos cacahuetes jumbo!

Is there a way I can just see the funny Onion articles?

justinbieber come get some

that's a wide stance.....

I have been following that story.

I was wondering what he has been up to lately

i mean he's training to be fuhrer one day then he'll command all of us and our kids will meditate in school

I'm not sure I'll ever stop laughing at this.
