Ron DeSantis Takes Trump Imitation Too Far: Huge Weight Gain, Ill-Fitting Suit, Twitter Laughing Hysterically

By

We at this site don’t have much of an excuse for this, but it’s Friday night.

We like to hold itself to a bit higher standard, are proud of our Newsguard seal of approval, and do not fat shame, ever. We have done a million articles on Trump’s weight, both up and down, but as we always note, we cover it solely to watch his health because, at times, he doesn’t seem well and doesn’t look like a man who could run in 2024 even if he wanted to run. Plus, everyone has noticed that the so-called billionaire cannot afford a decent tailor. Either that or he’s trying to hide under pads which we do not ever shame and won’t tolerate those on the net who do. Raise your hand if you’re getting younger. Regardless, Trump’s clothes never fit, and even the trip to Buckingham Palace was a disaster, and that was a white tie dinner.

Regardless, we were speaking of running in the election, correct? Name the one person who has not pledged to forgo a run if Trump decides he will run in the Republican primary? Yes, it is Ron DeSantis who has an increasingly icy relationship with Trump. But that doesn’t mean that DeSantis doesn’t know that he needs to emulate Trump in every way.

“Every way” used to mean he would even act stupid. DeSantis has an undergraduate degree from Yale and a law degree from Harvard. He is not stupid, and he is that much more dangerous if people think that he is. He can act as stupid as Trump, which is critical. You cannot be a sophisticated MAGA politician. It’s a contradiction in terms. Now, though, DeSantis is imitating Trump in a less healthy way. For one, DeSantis has gained a massive amount of weight. He is a young man, only 43 years old. And, given that we refuse to fat shame, we note that DeSantis cannot seem to find clothes that fit properly, just like dear leader. Granted, in this picture, one that is viral, viral on Twitter, DeSantis’s jacket isn’t oversized like Trump’s. It’s… well, bursting at the seams.

Yeah, looking DeSantis in the eye, there may be some things going on in Vegas that one only does in Vegas. His eyes and face look a little “out of it,” but we’ll just say that he might’ve had a late night and is tired. Or not.

Twitter couldn’t get enough as the picture exploded:
