You can’t make this stuff up, seriously. At his New Hampshire rally last night, Trump mistakenly fat-shamed one of his own supporters.
The rally was interrupted about a half an hour in by a handful of protesters near the rafters of the arena. As the protesters were being led out, a Trump supporter wearing a “Trump 2020” shirt near them began enthusiastically shaking his fist in a sign of support for the president.
But Trump mistook him for one of the protesters and said to the crowd: “That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home. Start exercising. Get him out of here, please.”
After a pause, he added, “Got a bigger problem than I do.”
I can’t imagine what kind of life that must be like. Where the president acts like a child, shames you, is rude to you, but it’s all good, because the President of the United States just thought I was someone who didn’t support him. I love him! He’s the best!
“Look at my overweight supporter over there! Isn’t he great? He’s so great. Greatest fat guy since probably Dom Deluise, I don’t know. It’s what many people have said. We need more fat people. We need them. Sign of prosperity, when you think about it. Get him a McDonald’s gift certificate on his way out, would you? He deserves a break today. That’s funny, right? It’s so funny, because that used to be their slogan. Good times. Good times, folks!”
It was a total gaffe - he was mocking someone he thought was an opponent, not a supporter. Once he realized the overweight fellow was on his side, Donald apologized.
