Donald Trump’s weight problem: He can’t stop talking about ‘fat’ people

Source: MSN/Washington Post

Donald Trump has a serious weight problem: He can’t seem to stop criticizing the girth of others.

For decades, Trump has commented on other people’s bodies, particularly women who he believes had gained too much weight or were, in his word, “fat.” The recurring habit flared again this week when the Republican presidential nominee attacked the size of a Miss Universe winner, claiming she had gained “a massive amount of weight” while she wore the pageant’s crown and that “it was a real problem.”

Trump called actress Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig” and said she has a “fat, ugly face.” He said singer Jennifer Lopez has a “fat a--” and said reality television star Kim Kardashian had “gotten a little large” during her pregnancy. He kept a “fat photo” of one employee whose weight fluctuated in a drawer and told an overweight executive, “you like your candy,” according to the employees. When a reporter complimented his wife, Melania, on her appearance shortly after giving birth, Donald Trump replied: “She’s lost almost all the baby weight.”

Trump also mocks the weight of men, but usually in a more jocular way than his remarks about women. Trump reportedly told a producer on “The Apprentice” that “everybody loves a fat guy,” and he has joked about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s size on the campaign trail.

As Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out on his show recently, Dr. Feelgood's recent medical letter on Donald overstated Donald's height by at least an inch. That inch made his weight fall into the "overweight" category, rather than the "obese" category if he height was correctly stated.

and make him the fat guy whose antics are simply hilarious, and if we could diffuse his importance to hit him where he is most vulnerable i. e. his body image and his sense of importance, this election would be a shoe in for Hillary Clinton. But it would cost ratings and not bring in money.
It would simply get the job done for the American People.

you a shitty deal in bad faith, and if you don't take it quits smiling and starts trying to hurt you. If you then give him what he wants he goes away until he wants something else.

This effort is no different. "Hearts don't change".

All that gold, you see, made the mirrors look all gold-colored.

Orange doesn't reflect very well off of the gold, so he can't see what's there.

A rich man's version of a Funhouse mirror, see?

Or maybe it's just the background. You know, kind of like the green screen on TV...

onto others. And he does it first, so that if they hit back, he can justify in his narrow mind that they aren't telling the truth, they are just being *not nice*. Call them names before they can level the charges against him. Everything out of his mouth is laying something on someone else that HE is guilty of doing/being. In his dense mind, he feels if he gets those accusations out *first*, people won't believe them of him. Conversely, everything he claims to be, is what he knows he isn't, but again, if he says it first and often enough, he surrounds himself with this cloud of fantasy character. it's a twisted personality and warped reality.

When he does speak, his vocabulary is juvenile, his reactions are immature, his pouting is infantile. A stunted brain.

And multitudes of his supporters are guilty of the same incredibly imbecilic, empty justifications and dangerous denial.

We REALLY have to get sane people to the voting booths.
