Trump bashes NH protester: 'That guy’s got a serious weight problem'
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump insulted a protester's weight Thursday evening at his rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“That guy’s got a serious weight problem,” Trump said as several protesters were escorted out of the arena. "Go home. Start exercising."
"Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do,” Trump continued. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"

Rally attendees also began booing at the protesters and chanting "USA!" Trump was interrupted by the protesters after criticizing Democrats for describing political opponents as "fascists and Nazis."
Seconds after criticizing the protester's weight, Trump went back to his remarks, immediately telling his supporters "our movement is built on love."
Although Trump often slams protesters at his rally, he has never commented on their weight.
Trump's weight is at 243 pounds, according to his annual psychical earlier this year — up four pounds from last year. In January 2018, he was at 239 pounds.
Over the weekend, Trump was insulted for his weight by 2020 Democratic candidate Andrew Yang.

"Like, if there was a hot-air balloon that was rising and you needed to try and keep it on the ground, he would be better than me at that — because he is so fat," he said .

Do you have any mirrors you big, fat, ugly, greasy pig?
I don't believe he only weighs 243 pounds. I think the pile of shit weighs much more than that.
I used to weigh 245 lbs (now 132) and I was not nearly as wide as Trump is.

Diarrhea of the mouth.

Must have been looking at a mirror rather than the teleprompter.
The funny thing is that guy might have been one of his supporters and not one of the protestors ... oh, I hope that ends up being the case!
So funny that Trump, who is so unhealthy and fat, and refuses to exercise, calls out someone else.
Someone (Trump supporter) here said the other day that Trump is "quick witted".
This is an example of his "quick wit". A fat person calling someone else fat. lol.
He said it because he wanted to insult the guy that was protesting him and it was the only thing he could think of.
It was one of his supporters. The fuckwad still loves the shitstain of a 'president'
He wasn't actually protesting the turd, he was tearing the signs out of the hands of the actual protesters.
Isn't that assault?
Maybe that was the guy Trump boasted about being able to shoot on 5th avenue. He would want a really yuuugggggeeee target.
So, apparently it was one of his own supporters. A man who is so stupid that he still loves Trump.
But then, when you figure Trump said this and yet the coal miners still love him, it just shows that his base have no brain cells.
No, a man who is not a liberal that that is easily triggered by a stupid insult.
Not easily triggered? He was tearing the signs out of the hands of people who were legally protesting; most people are not triggered by things like that. He is clearly not very bright and has TDS in a big way, the syndrome where the orange idol can do no wrong and facts need not apply.
It's juvenile and lazy - and usually hypocritical - to attack someone for their weight. It's bullying, really.
Even if you're thin right this minute, someday you won't be, or there will be something else about you physically that someone could mock. There's really never a good justification for attacking someone over the state of their body.
If you must go after someone, the way they dress or otherwise make themselves up is a choice that I might be more open to poking fun at - especially, if they're a teenager in my house.
Yes it is,
"juvenile and lazy"
and it is good to see you recognize this, and call Trump out on it.
Yup, my thoughts exactly. Don't forget bullying.
Thanks Tacos!

Lol, says the fucking walking donut! Like his lard ass is in a position to criticize anyone about their weight. He could lose 60lbs and still make Chaz Bono look like Thor in comparison.
