Speaking at a BBQ dinner event he was holding at the Rose Garden on Wednesday, Donald Trump began rambling about an “obese friend” who had been trying to lose weight.
“A friend of mine is a very obese person,” Trump remarked. “I said, you’re an extremely obese person. He’s begging me not to mention his name because I’ll destroy his reputation. He had some fat drugs. I said: it’s not working — you look like shit.”

Who could be the person Trump is referring to? He never said, but his comments drew both mockery and speculation on social media.
Has he been talking to himself again?
