Trump Has 1 Update To His Rant About 'Overweight' Pal Who Took 'The Fat Shot'

Donald Trump plays golf It seems that one “brilliant businessman” felt President Donald Trump was pretty obtuse earlier this week.On Monday, a press conference meant to talk about drug pricing took a weird turn when Trump unleashed an unhinged diatribe about an unnamed and “overweight” friend taking a weight-loss drug — or as Trump called it, “the fat shot.”“A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very, very, very top guy. Most of you would’ve heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight. And he takes the fat, the fat shot drug,” Trump began.President Donald Trump plays golf at Trump National Golf Club on May 25, 2023.“And he called me up, and he said, ‘Uh, president’ — he calls me president, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me president, so that’s nice respect,” Trump continued.After getting lost in his own tangent for a bit, Trump went on to describe what his friend said on the call.“‘I’m in London. And I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.’ I said, ‘It’s not working,’” Trump joked. “He said, ‘I just paid $88. And in New York, I pay $1,300. What the hell is going on?’”Trump: "A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very very very top guy. Most of you would've heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight.

He’s very happy, he knows exactly who I was talking about. He called, he said, ‘That was interesting.’ He said he was very concerned that I might use his name.” The president added that the buddy “doesn’t have to worry.”Although Trump didn’t use his pal’s name, the president sure gave the public a few hints. So much so that Seth Meyers couldn’t help poking fun at how unslick Trump was about describing his friend on his late show on Monday.“If your friend is so neurotic, as you say he is,” Meyers questioned about Trump. “He must be loving you slowly describing his identity to the national press.”Related...Mark Carney Criticises Keir Starmer's Decision To Give Donald Trump A Second State VisitRobert De Niro Kicks Off Cannes Film Festival With Blistering Speech About 'Philistine' TrumpBlow For Keir Starmer As China Slams His Trade Deal With Donald Trump
