Donald Trump acknowledges his weight while insulting opponent as a ‘fat slob’

Donald Trump recently opened up about his weight, confessing that he would “like to lose a few pounds.” This admission came as he criticized Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, referring to him as a “big, fat slob.” Leading up to a White House Thanksgiving event where he would pardon turkeys, Trump took the opportunity to criticize Chicago, claiming that the city was “out of control.”

During his speech, the president did not hold back in his attacks on Governor Pritzker, calling him incompetent and focusing on his weight. Trump even went so far as to say, “the governor is a big, fat slob,” before challenging him to improve the safety of his state. However, Trump admitted that he had prepared a joke about Pritzker’s weight but decided against sharing it, stating that it made him too angry to discuss.

Despite his criticisms of Pritzker’s weight, Trump mentioned that he had no intention of discussing people’s weight, emphasizing, “I don’t mention it.” He even noted that he personally would like to shed a few pounds but acknowledged that he would not be doing so over the Thanksgiving holiday celebration due to the delicious turkey that awaited him.

It is important to note that Trump’s weight was recorded as 224 pounds during his April physical, with a height of 75 inches. This information puts his Body Mass Index at 28, which falls into the overweight category. However, there has been no update provided on his weight following his most recent physical examination that took place last month.

This is not the first time Trump has made comments about Pritzker’s weight, as the two have engaged in a back-and-forth of insults. In a previous exchange, Trump suggested that the governor should spend more time in the gym, prompting Pritzker to retort, “It takes one to know one on the weight question.”

Overall, Trump’s recent remarks about his weight, along with his criticism of Governor Pritzker, showcase the ongoing animosity between the two figures. Despite his own desire to shed a few pounds, Trump continues to engage in heated exchanges with his political rivals, demonstrating that weight and physical appearance are not off-limits in the world of politics.
