Failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump continues to insist that there’s a good chance he’ll run for the GOP presidential nomination once again in 2024, but based on a photo circulating on Twitter, it appears he’s in even worse shape than he was when he was still in the White House.
Attorney Ron Filipkowski shared this photo of the ex-president:
Wow! Not only does Donnie look morbidly obese, but be sure and notice the half-mast eyes. Did he not sleep well the night before? Or could those be the result of chemical enhancement?
Of course, Trump has a history of lying about his weight, as the Washington Post reported in January of 2018 when then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson (a.k.a. Dr. Feelgood) told reporters that the president was 6-3 and weighed a mere 239 pounds:
Adding to some online observers’ skepticism that Trump’s measurements were accurate was the fact that 239 pounds, at 6-3, conveniently put his body mass index at 29.9 — just below the 30.0 threshold for him to be officially described as obese, rather than merely overweight. In any event, plenty of Internet users were happy to juxtapose photos of the president with those of athletes with similar listed heights and weights.

If Trump is 239 pounds, then he’s also a world champion sprinter and works out seven times a day. (He isn’t and he doesn’t.)
Filipkowski’s photo posting of the Donald set off a wave of mockery that may take days to subside. Take a look:
