Trump calls Judiciary chairman 'Fat Jerry'

Trump reportedly referred to Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) as "fat Jerry" in a recent meeting with a group of House Republicans at the White House.

The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump made the remark last month while suggesting that Nadler is overweight despite having weight-loss surgery years ago.

“I’ve been battling Nadler for years,” Trump added.

The GOP lawmakers were embarrassed by Trump's comments, the Post reported, citing several people who were at the meeting.

Maybe both, one in each hand. Like he has any business fat-shaming anyone.

"In the early 2000s, the congressman peaked at a gargantuan 338 pounds. The butt of countless bodyweight jokes, even among his peers, during the Clinton impeachment trial, Nadler used to take the elevator up to the second floor of the Capitol for votes because he just couldn’t make it up a lone flight of stairs. He underwent a stomach-reduction surgery during Congress’ August recess in 2002 and eventually cut his weight roughly in half. He has kept his weight under control since. When Republicans see him on TV over these next two years as he leads oversight hearings on the Trump administration, many are bound not to recognize him."
