“He’s our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group — morbidly obese, they say” — Speaker Pelosi to @andersoncooper on CNN.

1. Oooh, the burn!

Thank you, Madam Leader!

[mr_lebowski]

2. You know he's going to lose his shit ...

Although I love it ... I also have to question the wisdom of feeding the media these kinds of distractions ...

[Xipe Totec]

43. That'll drop a few pounds off the scales

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. I'm close to Trump's claimed weight

I'm not as tall or as portly as him.

[brokephibroke]

5. What is his claim these days?

A svelte 260?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. 238

No way in hell he weighs that little.

[brokephibroke]

11. He prolly meant 283

I get dyslexic ocassionaly too.

[DonaldsRump]

15. Nor, I am absolutely sure, do you go around and insult people

For their weight, looks, physical issues etc. Trump does, and he deserves everything he gets.

Speaker Pelosi: you are too good, especially when you are bad!

[Mars and Minerva]

22. Was she insulting him or just stating a fact? He is technically morbidly obese...nt

[smirkymonkey]

63. She was only being honest.

In her quiet, snarky way.

But it's true. And he deserves it for the way he has fat shamed, and short shamed, and looks-shamed, and pencil-necked shamed, and pretty much else everything-shamed everyone else for their physical attributes his entire life.

It's about time he knows how it feels to know how it is to finally be the fat, ugly, repulsive one for once. Because he is 1000 times more revolting than anyone he has ever criticized in his life. He has always been ugly, inside and out, but now it is obvious to all. There is not one attractive quality about him.

[cayugafalls]

4. Go get'em Nancy! She sure knows how to tweak his cheek.

[Richard D]

68. I'm so glad . . .

. . . you didn't use the plural form. That would be an image I would not want in my mind.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Burn!

[Croney]

7. What will drive him crazy (crazier) is that he won't be able to say,

I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I!

So he will come up with some crude insult in response to her simple statement of observable facts.

[greenjar_01]

9. Trumpies have been calling her a drunk for years

Can they dish it out, but not take it?

Too bad so sad.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

10. Portly.

[usaf-vet]

72. Is he contemplating whether or not he can make it across the room? I'd bet at......

..... a slow shuffle at best. No more leaping tall wrinkles in the carpet in a single bound. The fastest thing he ever did like a speed bullet was to lie, lie, lie.

[NCDem47]

12. Oh. She went there.

Let the games begin.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Keep speaking the truth, Nancy!

Trump can't handle any truth that even slightly dings his grandiose self-image, so kudos for that as well!

[octoberlib]

14. Omg, this made me laugh!

[onecaliberal]

16. He is easily over 300 pounds.

[Blue_true]

44. I agree. A very soft over 300 pounds. nt

[MFM008]

17. Ohhhhhhhhhh

Mama ....

[Paladin]

18. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I bet trump is jumping through his own massive asshole in spittle-flecked rage. Well done, Madame Speaker.

[Bleacher Creature]

19. I'm not sure we'll ever see a better shade thrower in our lifetimes.

And the best part is that you know this will get under his skin!!

[liberalla]

20. I guess it's just me, but I think he should double or triple the dose.

I mean, what do you have to lose?
If one pill is good, just think how much better 2 or 3 would be...

[niyad]

28. With a Clorox chaser and uv light in his tanning bed.

[liberalla]

31. mmm good! With a lemon twist!

[Thekaspervote]

21. Ouch!

[StTimofEdenRoc]

23. Anyone read the side effects of taking that shit? He is gunna start twitching any moment.

https://www.rxlist.com/plaquenil-side-effects-drug-center.htm

[Leith]

58. He already has many of the side effects

Common side effects:
mood changes
nervousness
irritability
hair loss

Serious side effects:
pale skin
confusion
unusual thoughts or behavior

Has anyone noticed anything like that?

[Demobrat]

24. Does anybody really believe he's taking that?

I sure don’t. He’s just trying to save face by pretending he didn’t push a worthless solution.

[Blue_true]

48. I agree. nt

[llmart]

55. +1000

Exactly how I see it.

[wnylib]

71. Maybe that's all he's doing.

But if he is taking it, that would explain why he doesn't take precautions. If he is taking it, I think he started on it more than just a couple weeks ago.

[Marcuse]

25. Clap clap.

[dalton99a]

26. About damn time someone said something about His Majesty's physical appearance

[Talitha]

27. "morbidly obese, they say" - wow, the asspickle's gonna pop his cork!!

Hit him where it hurts.

We love ya, Nancy!!

[Takket]

29. this tweet HAHAHAHAHAHA

?s=20

[ismnotwasm]

30. Damn Nancy..

*snort*


He’s going to HAVE to retaliate somehow

[mountain grammy]

32. Haha. Love it.

[yardwork]

33. .... they say.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

61. yeah, that was masterful!

[yardwork]

64. I love Nancy. She is brilliant.

[Penn Voter]

34. His weight is claimed to be 243 lbs.

in 2019. That must be moon weight!

[ecstatic]

35. That's gonna leave a mark. Pleeeeease let dump see that quote

Holy crap! Pelosi won the day. Love it!

[helpisontheway]

36. I heard that..I almost fell off the elliptical. 😂🤣 I predict the orange one

will be tweeting about Pelosi very soon. 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣

[denem]

37. "they say"

[Blue Owl]

38. If only Dumpy Donny had a sense of humor!

Oh well...

[ibegurpard]

39. Coming from a woman...

Especially THAT woman... i think it's gonna be a stroke that does him in

[Beacool]

40. That was the biggest laugh I had in days.

She politely called him a fat slob.

[Bettie]

41. Yes, let's all cheer about fat shaming

fact is, being fat is the least bad thing about him.

[ibegurpard]

42. Yes let's

Because appearance is something he is overly sensitive about and yet he has no compunction mocking others about it.
You can take the high road if you like.

[NickB79]

45. Morbid obesity is a medical definition

And he meets the criteria.

This could well kill him.

[Aussie105]

47. Cheerful news!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[AlexSFCA]

52. Did his doctor prescribe?

[Blue_true]

50. She was not fat shaming him. He is medically morbidly obese and taking that drug can kill him

due to his condition. Sorry, there is no fat shaming remotely near what she said.

[Demobrat]

57. No there wasn't.

All she did was speak the truth. Not in a scornful way. Not in a mocking way. In a simple matter of fact way.

[Aussie105]

46. I'm Trump's age, 6 foot and 205 lbs.

I look somewhat skinny compared to Trump.

The Trump Rump must be at least 100 lbs by itself. Then there are the overly long ties trying to hide his gut.

If he is 6 foot, he has got to be a lot more than me.

For the record, I really am trying to get out of the 'morbidly obese' club.

Wife is more the Pelosi build. Guess who is going to outlive who?

[ibegurpard]

49. He claims to be 6'3"

Which is also most likely a lie. If he ever weighed 243 it was years ago.

[Blue_true]

53. If you are fairly muscular, it is hard to drop weight, unless you somehow get rid of muscle. nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

62. That's why BMI isn't a good measure of obesity

You can carry a lot of weight in your belly and be skinny everywhere else. I've read that a better is to take your height in inches and divide it by 2. For someone who's 6 ft (72 inches) that's 36 inches. Your waist should be 36 inches or less.

[Fritz Walter]

70. His BMI is much higher than his IQ

And his alleged weight was probably taken with only one bone-spurred foot on the scale.

[Blue_true]

74. Sounds like using division by 2 is a good technique.

A person's waist size pretty accurately reflects their body fat in locations that can harm them.

[AlexSFCA]

51. funny

I hope obese folks won’t be offended by this. However, if he got prescription then it’s up to his doctor whether he should be taking this medicine.

[Aussie105]

54. The size of his coffin

and the number of pall bearers will reveal all.

Apparently Churchill weighed his coffin down big time.


Seriously though . . . .


Nancy, Nancy, Nancy!
You wicked girl, you, mocking the Old man like that!
Keep up the good work, luv yas!

[Blue Owl]

59. He's already pre-embalmed with junk food chemicals and made-up for the open casket viewing

C'mon Donny what are you waiting for?

[diane in sf]

56. Lololol!!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

60. Will he deny taking the drug, or deny being "morbidly obese" (assuming he understands that)?

[Bluepinky]

65. Trump baby is not going to like being described as morbidly obese.

After all, his doctor told him it’s just a little bit of baby fat, due to the birth of son Barron.

[BobTheSubgenius]

66. I don't see that comment passing by unnoticed.

At least, I hope not.

[J3AC4]

67. I'm not that gullible

I don't believe for a second that he is taking hydroxychloroquine.
Just more BS.

[SeattleVet]

69. Hashtag #girther is now trending
