Showing off the first stages of construction on his precious ballroom this morning, so-called President Donald Trump went on an extended riff about how he looks fat and the press is always reporting on his waistline.
Holding a placard depicting the ballroom, the vain head of state whined, “I look so thin. They’ll say, ‘Oh, he’s gotten so thin’ because I’m holding this,” Trump said from outside the construction site. “You don’t have to look at my waist. You can look at this. You saw enough of my waist along with President Xi in China.”
JUST IN: President Trump jokes about how thin he looks hiding his waist behind a picture of the planned White House ballroom.

Be sure and notice that he’s still comparing himself to Xi. It’s like he’s fallen in love with the guy, even though the Chinese leader never missed a chance last week to make Dementia Don look like a complete fool, placing him in a smaller chair, making jokes at his expense, and refusing to greet him at the airport when he arrived.
Those who saw Trump whining about his waistline couldn’t resist “weighing” in on the matter.
The man is literally using a $1 billion taxpayer-funded party room architectural drawing as a human-sized Spanx. This is exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

He is not funny. You want to see thin, you should see me right now. I look like a skeleton since I had to make cut backs at the grocery store. It's sad 😢

Why do you (Fox) think this is news? You could have posted the important 💩 like how democrats are lying about tax payers funding the ballroom. But you chose this? News flash: A democrat judge said private funds should not be funding the ballroom which halted progress… pic.twitter.com/IN92j4M6wn

If someone had told us during the Obama years that a U.S. president would one day joke publicly about hiding his belly and ass with architectural renderings, we would’ve called them delusional.

Yet here we are.
Trust me nobody is going to accuse you of being thin! They will accuse you of 50 other things that you are but thin ain't one of them bubba!

He’s grossly obese, but the American people are more concerned about his dementia

Too bad we can’t collectively veto Donnie’s ballroom and the rest of his presidency. The world would be better if we could.
