Trump Mocks Chris Christie’s Weight: “Don’t Call Him A Fat Pig”
Trump in New Hampshire: “[Chris] Christie, he’s eating right now. He can’t be bothered.”
*An audience member shouts something*
Trump: “Sir, please do not call him a fat pig, that’s very disrespectful … See, I’m trying to be nice. Don’t call him a fat pig. You can’t do that.” pic.twitter.com/AOnXT73kNq

Given that Trump is also overweight, as are the overwhelming majority of his fans, it’s not clear how a “joke” like this could be accepted. I guess because Chris Christie is considered morbidly obese by medical standards, people like Trump, who aren’t quite as overweight as Christie, are able to get away with these insults. Truly sociopathic behavior.
Via NBC:
Former President Donald Trump mocked Chris Christie, one of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, over his eating habits and his weight Tuesday.
“Don’t call him a fat pig,” Trump playfully admonished an audience member who shouted out during a speech at a high school gym in Windham, New Hampshire. “You can’t do that.”
