That guy has got a serious weight problem! Trump yelled at the man. Go home, start exercising. Get him out of here, please! Got a bigger problem than I do! Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says: What the hell have you just done?
Trump seems to have thought he was talking about a protester who had disrupted the rally. But the Associated Press reported:
As the protesters were being led out, a Trump supporter wearing a Trump 2020 shirt near them began enthusiastically shaking his fist in a sign of support for the president.
But Trump mistook him for one of the protesters
Thats when Trump launched into his fat-shaming screed.
The Trump team seems to have figured out that the president messed up. Fat-shaming is nothing new for Trump, of course, but he sees no advantage in fat-shaming a fan. And so, according to multiple reports, the president called the man he attacked for being overweight.

I love the guy," Dawson told Fox. "Hes the best thing that ever happened to this country."

Maybe I have actually answered my own question. Are people really that hateful and stupid?

I think that fellow really exhibited signs of it if he is alright with being shamed and still supports the Orange Whale.

I hope someone is making plans.
We really can lose everything: democracy, the country, the world.
