Trump has no idea about tariffs. He should stick to his waist size, the largest among Presidents.

Trump might compete with William Howard Taft for girth, but I never heard an ugly word about Taft. I doubt he ever called any woman “nasty,” for starters.

Leslie, and Taft wasn't an insurrectionist who tried to destroy this nation; Trump is.

Taft reportedly had a plus-size bathtub installed at the White House. He did not have a chandelier-hung bathroom accessorized with boxes of stolen classified documents.

Taft was also the only president to be appointed chief justice after his presidency. Of course, that could be an alternative to running a 3rd term for Trump. Anything to keep him illegally in office to avoid prison.

Roger, well, waist size except for Taft. Trump, though thinks he is thin and muscular. It goes to show you he really is without a clue.

When Trump defrauded a charity, he spent $10K of its money on that huge Gatsbyesque portrait of himself, slimmer and younger, in a tennis sweater. It hangs to this day at his bedbug golf motel #1.

Leslie, I can't help but wonder who he conned to actually pay for that fantasy portrait; I doubt he would have done so, cheat that he is, was, and ever will be.

The portrait was paid for with $60,000 taken illicitly from the Trump Foundation. Trump had asked his then-attorney Michael Cohen to find a straw bidder in order to ensure that the portrait of himself was sold for the highest price at the auction, which took place in the Hamptons in 2013.

Leslie, thanks so much for the information. I had forgotten this act of cheating; there are so many.
