President Donald Trump veered off course during the presidential turkey pardoning ceremony Tuesday to level a series of crude insults at Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, whom he repeatedly called “a big, fat slob.”
“We could make Chicago a safe city in a period of four weeks,” Trump said, beginning his rant in the White House’s Rose Garden. “In a period of eight weeks, nine weeks, 10 weeks, it would be totally safe.”
“The mayor is incompetent, and the governor is a big, fat slob,” he added.
The president then boasted about having a “very cute” joke he could tell about Pritzker and then applauded himself for not telling it because it’s about his weight.
“I don’t talk about people being fat,” he continued, repeatedly doing the thing he claimed to not be doing.
