In the past few weeks, Donald Trump appears to have lost significant weight. Now there is speculation as to whether he is taking Ozempic – or just going on a diet. One thing is certain: many of his supporters are bothered by their candidate’s new figure.
Many jokes have been made about Donald Trump. About his hair, the color of his skin – and of course his weight. The look at the populist’s waist size has repeatedly made headlines in the past; Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and all the late-night talkers filled entire shows with monologues about Trump’s belly fat. Many people, especially Democrats, found it funny and laughed at it. Trump’s supporters complained about body shaming – often because they weighed too much themselves. Now the story is taking a new turn, because Trump has apparently lost weight significantly. This was visible to everyone in a photo that his son Donald Jr. posted on Easter. It shows the former president with two of the grandchildren.
