President Trump told a Rose Garden crowd of Republican lawmakers that he'd informed an unnamed 'extremely obese' friend taking weight loss drugs that 'it's not working, you look like shit,' adding the friend begged him not to reveal his identity.

The remark surfaced amid Trump's own documented struggles with weight: the White House has put his BMI at 29.7, a tenth of a point under the clinical obesity threshold, with his physician noting he'd received 'preventive counseling' on diet.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has separately described the president's road diet as McDonald's, candy and Diet Coke, while a recent book on the administration cites chip bags, Starburst wrappers and ice cream cartons left behind at the White House. Critics online were quick to note the irony of the insult's source.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A man whose own chart sits a tenth of a point from the line probably wants to go easy on the tape measure at somebody else's expense. And the friend who begged not to be named got told on anyway, in a garden full of congressmen, which tells you what that friendship is worth. Anybody keeping candy wrappers under the desk knows better than to grade the neighbors.
