Donald Trump comments on his weight during turkey pardon

lol I cant even imagine our school principal trying to joke around like that but for real though, i wonder if we can have a similar lighthearted moment in our school events... maybe we could have a "funny staff member" day where teachers and admin get to be silly for a change . it would break the ice and make us all laugh together. just thinking about it is making me happy

Umm, I think this is kinda funny but like, can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Trump is making jokes about losing weight when everyone knows he's been eating all those burgers and fries on the campaign trail? And then there's the fact that he's joking about eating one of these turkeys... I mean, what if Gobble or Waddle gets nervous and decides to make a break for it?

But wait, is this really just another example of Trump trying to be relatable and humanizing himself? Because let's be real, he's still got that "I'm the king" vibe going on, even when he's joking around. And what about those Maha turkeys - are they really certified or just a PR stunt?

And lastly, I'm not sure if it's cute or creepy how Trump is making fun of himself and then immediately turning the conversation into politics... like, can't he just stick to one thing for once?

Hehe, I gotta say, Trump's got some serious comedic chops ! Who knew poking fun at your own weight could be so funny? I mean, it's not every day you see a president making jokes about being overweight during a ceremonial event . It's actually kinda endearing, you know? And the fact that he didn't take himself too seriously and just had fun with it is pretty cool . The turkeys might be lucky to have escaped the dinner table this time, haha! Anyway, it was great to see some levity at the White House, even if it was a bit of an awkward moment .

can you believe trump is still cracking jokes about himself? lol, like we need more evidence that he's not taking himself too seriously anyway, the turkey pardon ceremony is actually pretty cool, it's nice to see the president having fun with the turkeys instead of getting all serious all the time. and those "Maha" turkeys sound hilarious, who names a turkey mahahahaha? on a more serious note tho, it's still wild that this tradition has been going on for like 78 years, it's crazy to think about how much history is behind this one lighthearted event

.. thinkin' about it, I guess that's what happens when you're in the public eye for so long - you gotta find ways to not take yourself too seriously. Trump's been doin' this whole 'being the funny guy' thing for years now, but you can tell he's still tryin' to prove himself a bit. Losin' weight, even if it was just a joke... I mean, at 50 pounds plus, is a tough gig .

It's weird, though - on one hand, we love the guy for bein' able to poke fun at himself, but on the other hand, it feels like he's still tryin' to prove his worth. Like, is he doin' this to impress us, or just to... well, I don't know, feel good about himself?
