So did this happen?
Did President Trump really troll the, um, rather portly Kim Jong-un about his weight?
I’ll say ‘yes’ for $100, Alex.
As the two leaders and their entourages sat down for lunch in Singapore during the North Korean summit, Trump asked photographers if “they were getting a good picture.” “So we look nice and handsome and thin and perfect.”
Kim’s translator then told the North Korean dictator what Trump said. And he was not amused, apparently.
It went down like this:
Some people said it reminded them of an awkward scene from “The Office.”
Now while Trump appears to be rather paunchy himself, Kim Jong-un is in a whole other weight division. And while the dictator doesn’t exactly give out information on his weight, there are reports out there that indicate he’s morbidly obese, in case you wondered.
Like he weighs almost 300 pounds, and that’s an increase from about 200 pounds in 2012. Moreover, he stands only 5’7″. And he’s also a big cigarette smoker, indulging in a smoke even while touring a hospital. Click to enlarge and see how Kim would’ve violated every hospital rule in the U.S.
Kim’s weight is also a sore spot with him; North Korean officials officially requested that Chinese officials stop calling him “Kim Fatty III.”
And if you’ve ever wondered why some news outlets showed photos of Kim using a cane, it’s because he has reportedly injured his ankles while walking around military facilities.
Considering that his countrymen are starving while he obviously lives an excessive lifestyle, Kim Jong-un richly deserves the fat joke that Trump dished out.
Well-played, Mr. President. Well-played.
It obviously didn’t matter much in the end, did it? Kim sure looked happy after he signed that memo, shaking Trump’s hand.
