Donald Trump would rather dodge bullets than a bad angle … ‘cause apparently, a few extra pounds is where he draws the line!
Hot on the heels of yet another assassination attempt — allegedly by Cole Tomas Allen this time — the U.S. President was asked Friday in the Oval Office whether he’d consider wearing a bulletproof vest … and he joked he couldn’t handle looking 20 pounds heavier.
Yes, really — world politics, threats on his life — the man’s still thinking about his silhouette.
The room ate it up with laughs — and Trump leaned right in, adding, “If you want to gain 20 to 25 pounds, get a vest … and live!”
Still, jokes aside … this isn’t exactly a hypothetical situation. The alleged WHCD shooter Allen is facing three charges — including attempting to assassinate a sitting president.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t Trump’s first close call — he’s taken a literal shot to the ear … but when it comes to extra weight, that’s the only hit he refuses to take!
