Trump Facing Backlash For Calling Rallygoer Fat, ‘You May Want to Look in the Mirror!’

Donald Trump mocked the weight of a protester who briefly interrupted his rally in Manchester, N.H.

“That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising,” Trump said as the individual who interrupted Trump’s speech was escorted out of the arena.

“Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do,” Trump quipped. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, ‘What the hell have you just done?'”

Cameras showed multiple protesters being escorted out of the arena after the crowd began booing and chanting “U.S.A.” The interruption came as Trump slammed Democrats, accusing them of demeaning law enforcement and describing their opponents as “fascists and Nazis.”

Moments later, Trump continued with his usual remarks, telling supporters that his movement is “built on love.”

As you can imagine, Trump was quickly condemned for his remarks, with many on Twitter noting that Trump is in no shape to be calling others fat.
