Following a busy day of harassing members of his own United States Congress and reportedly wanting to purchase Greenland, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire. Unfortunately for him, Trump did not exactly receive quite the reception as he had maybe hoped for, as protesters were in place to attempt chaos at the start of the rally when the president immediately began attacking his Democratic opposition.
According to The Hill, several protesters were escorted out of the arena shortly after the crowd began booing and chanting “U.S.A. U.S.A.!” Clearly nonplussed, Trump did as he’s wont to do and attacked the physical appearance of one of the ejected protesters — who happened to be a person of supposed relative girth.
“That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising,” Trump said, before adding: “Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do. Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, ‘What the hell have you just done?'”
Wow. Trump mocks a protester for purportedly being overweight.

At the very least, President Hamberder seemed to acknowledge that he does, in fact, have a weight problem. On the other hand, the pot calling the kettle “fat” is just the chef’s kiss of Trump’s hypocrisy, and those on Twitter naturally couldn’t help calling him out.

Trump mocked the weight of a protester? So not only does the emperor have no clothes, his fat ass thinks he looks good naked? #TrumpRally

Man what an awesome day for Trump.
First he forces Dems to embrace anti-Semites Omar & Tlaib.
Then he tells a fat protester at his rally to go home & start exercising.
And obvs, he’s trying to buy Greenland.
If you don’t think this is awesome, I don’t know how to talk to you.

Trump, by far the fattest president in modern history, making fun of randos for being fat

I can’t get past tonight’s Trump rally takeaway:
Trump. Called someone ELSE.
Fat.

While others couldn’t help but notice that on television, the crowd seemed … shall we say … sparse?
Wow — there sure were a lot of empty seats at tonight’s #TrumpRally! SAD!! 😂@realDonaldTrump #NewHampshireRally pic.twitter.com/t2BgMG5E1h

And given that Trump loves floating conspiracy theories about alleged “hired protesters,” some people are wondering if maybe he knows a bit too much about the subject?

Either way, if Trump fancies himself an authority to comment on the weight of others, maybe it would be wise for him to dial back on the McDonald’s and KFC.
