‘When He Sees This’: Trump’s Walk Sparks Brutal Zoom-In on the One Thing His Oversized Suits Have Worked Overtime to Hide After Doctors’ Weight Warning

Donald Trump boasts that he is the fittest president America has elected — yet so many people wish they could unsee his figure.

Trump doesn’t wear shorts or tailored suits that conform to current fashion trends.

He keeps his wardrobe as flowy as possible, and even then, his attire seems just a tad too revealing.

His suits are almost always navy blue, except for the rare occasion when he wears black.

Unfortunately, darker colors don’t have that slimming effect on Trump that so many people lean on to conceal insecurities.

Instead, Trump’s trick to divert eyes from his ballooning waist and backside includes wearing oversized suit coats.

But his Oval Office attire only helps when he’s on the clock.

His leisurely escapes to golf courses are when the real double takes spiral into brutal assessments of the politician’s appearance.

Take, for instance, his Sept. 20 trip to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. The president was spotted in a white polo, black slacks, and a white USA hat.

His medical report in May lists him as being 6 feet 3 and 238 pounds, but all people noticed was his Santa Claus-adjacent shape undermining those physically fit claims.

One observer noticed, “His gut hanging over his belt. He can hardly walk,” while another pointed that, “Tramp is more bloated than ever!”

“He looks so fat here. Fat. Fat. Fat. I never body shame people. But I hope the algorithm shows him the word fat when he sees these images tonight when he’s rage posting,” a Threads user wrote.

The former reality TV star loves to create a memorable moment for cameras.

His anecdotes about supporters and his “fat friend” have become the subjects of countless tales depicting Trump as a specimen to behold.

In one of his stories, he references “a friend of mine, who’s extremely fat, sloppy, but very brilliant” as being among those taking the “fat drug.” He never reveals the man’s identity, but his description often reminds listeners of Trump.

Another heckler remarked that he is “the epitome of good health.”

A third detractor suggested that Trump invest in some intimate attire that would better hide the loose skin draped across his chest.

“He walks differently when he’s not wearing a suit. He shuffles more. Because without a suit jacket to cover it, he can’t wear his exoskeleton,” one critic suggested.

Banter about the bulges hidden underneath Trump’s clothes is partly to blame for the non-stop rumors about his alleged incontinence.

The post that triggered an onslaught of scrutiny showed Trump walking with his entourage, including special assistant Natalie Harp.

The gossip also claims Harp drafts Trump’s social posts. She is always in his entourage and carries an overly stuffed bag, sparking rumors about what she carries in an oversized tote.

“What is in that bag????? Will we ever know??” one person wondered after spotting Harp in the clip.

Others noticed that Melania Trump was absent from the golf outing.

According to one onlooker, “She never goes on his golf trips. They don’t live together. Thst has been obvious this entire administration. Press just ignores it.”

The first lady is no longer a staple figure in the White House. She has made around 50 public appearances — some sans her husband of 21 years — since Trump’s 2025 return to the office.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
