See, I found a better one (John Oliver)
“He’s so insistent,” said Oliver. “He’s like the guy drowning but waving off a lifeboat saying, ‘Get out of here, I’m very buoyant. I’m the most buoyant. Everybody talks about my buoyancy. I’m a tremendous floater.'”
Obliquely mention his weight, but in relation to how he is always the best at anything! And how he’ll push his pride well past any rational point, even to his own detriment.
‘It’s not the crime. It’s the cover-up.’
And it’s a lot to cover up.
I decided to look up presidential weights and heights. A weight of 270 puts Trump as heavier than any other president except Taft. He’s currently listed here at 239. I suppose it may take time for the truth to catch up.
Reducing his height from 6’3" to 6’1" moves him down at least 7 spots in the list of presidents by height, according to this. This would put him at the same height as Obama (while Wikipedia has Obama at 1/2" taller).
I preferred the epithet Donnie Two-scoops because rather than ragging on his appearance, as tempting as that is, it points out his outlook on life.
In Buddhist terms he’s a hungry ghost – ever hungry, never sated.
I prefer Little Donnie Fail-Fail.
I think the best nickname is Stupid Hillary Clinton. As in, “You complained for decades about hiring that set of crooks, the Clintons, because they were in bed with all the other corrupt slimebags like Jeffrey Epstein, and then you go and find Bill’s friend who’s exactly the same as Bill and Hillary but dumber, and hire that guy? Why in the ever loving hell would you, a Republican, vote for Stupid Hillary Clinton? That’s the only thing worse than actual Hillary Clinton!”
Do they then reply by mentioning the Supreme Court, or just gesturing at the Justices?
They don’t reply, as there’s really no justification. They could have hired Rubio or Jeb or lots of others, and they still have that opportunity.
When I think ‘floater’, fat isn’t the first thing I think of (although the fat content of your meal is apparently what can lead to floaters).
They look the same height, or very close to it: How Obama will take on Trump - POLITICO

I love this boilerplate comment from the CNN article above:
Somebody’s pissed off, you can bet. And if I was betting, it’s Fox that is pissed off because they got shit on. (and enough plumbing remarks for the morning).
Press on.
This is from MeidasTouch. Pretty long (18min) but pretty much covers how FOX is screwed in all the other defamation lawsuits because of that one.

It seems as though there wasn’t any wrongdoing in Maricopa County after all.
"The length and thickness of midterm ballots — not fraud or wrongdoing — caused Maricopa County’s Election Day printer problems, according to an independent inquiry into the issue.
The probe, which began in January and was headed by former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor, found that some of the county’s older printers, Oki B432 models, could not maintain the heat required to consistently print ballots with marks dark enough to be read by the on-site tabulators."
There is much more, but mostly about Krazy Lake denying everything once again. She needs to dye her hair blond, PAB likes blonds.
AND…does anyone remember the last time PAB was in Arizona? Not surprisingly, he stiffed them as well. Things didn’t get better. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-investigations/2023/04/10/bell-bank-wants-name-removed-from-troubled-bell-bank-park-mesa/70101396007/
Paywalled.
Crap. I am sorry.
Bell Bank intended to link its name with a world-class sports facility in east Mesa that would draw millions in dollars and visitors. But the facility has made news more often for losing money and defaulting on its debts.
On Monday, Bell Bank said in a news release it had ended its naming rights partnership with the facility that opened as Bell Bank Park in January 2022.
The facility continues to draw large crowds for youth sports leagues and amateur and professional tournaments. In March, it drew 1,300 for a Pickleball tournament. But, despite the crowds, the facility has not made the required monthly payments on its loans. It also has $30 million in unpaid bills to the contractors that helped build the facility.
Please do notice the size of the crowds that have been enticed to visit. That is about as many as visited when PAB was there.
1300 for the pickleball tournament, whatever that is, and around 1300 for Trump’s mushroomball extravaganza?
Great sport! It’s a weird lovechild of tennis and ping pong.
Mr. Bragg seems to have had enough of Gymnasium Jordan.
