Trump keeps talking about MAGA Jon Husted’s rear — and this is what the candidate feels about it

Ohio Senator Jon Husted, a Republican fighting for his seat, says President Donald Trump's repeated public remarks about his physique have pushed him to stay committed to exercise. Appearing on Fox News on Saturday, Husted said he told his wife the morning after hearing the praise that he needed to get back to the gym to protect his reputation. He noted that sports run in his household: he played football in college, and his wife competes in marathons. Fox host Aishah Hasnie observed that the comments had earned him plenty of attention, some of it perhaps unexpected, according to The Independent.

Trump spoke about Husted's body at rallies in North Carolina and Ohio, describing his backside as a pile of muscle, remarking on his large feet, and saying that tapping his shoulder hurt Trump's hand. Commentators and social media users ridiculed the remarks. CNN's Anderson Cooper aired a compilation of Trump discussing the bodies of various officials, including a clip calling Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial nominee Greg Dolezal a good-looking man.

Cooper joked that Husted's polling is weaker than his physique, citing a CNN poll of polls with him five points behind.
