shows what's underneath those "fat suppression" devices. No wonder he's in a bad mood most of the time. Wearing those things must cut off circulation to the brain.

I believe his weight is only a target because he seems to force people to lie about what it truly is.

even if he ever did within the last decade or so.

OK, look at the Twitter thread. The photo has been altered, but only slightly. He's still pretty hefty in the original.

That's 70 pounds of bacon fat, right there in the mid-section. He just might have eaten Graham...

He is certainly tipping 300. I am 6' 2" and with my Covid 10 weight, I am a "svelt" 245. He easily has 50 on me.

Scale at 322lbs. I'd say that looks closer to 350lbs, and given everything else, he must have phenomenal good luck to still alive.

DONALD TRUMP

Trump's ‘White Power' Retweet Set Off ‘Five Alarm Fire' in White House

The video remained on the president’s Twitter page for more than three hours because White House officials couldn’t reach him

Published June 29, 2020 • Updated on June 29, 2020 at 11:11 pm



President Donald Trump steps out of his vehicle upon his return to the White House in Washington, DC, on June 28, 2020, after golfing at his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia.

President Donald Trump set off a "five alarm fire" in the White House Sunday morning after he retweeted a video of one of his supporters saying "white power," according to two White House officials.

The video remained on the president’s Twitter page, where he has 82 million followers, for more than three hours because White House officials couldn’t reach him to ask him to delete it, the two officials said. The president was at his golf club in Virginia and had put his phone down, the officials said.
