Key Moments From Donald Trump's Iowa Speeches​

Trump Calls General Mark Milley Stupid​

Trump Makes Claims About Democrats' Abortion Position​

The former president made an unsubstantiated claim that Democrats are in favor of the executing of babies after they are born if the mother does not want them.

Trump Says He Has A Better Body Than Biden​

Trump Gushes Over His Ivanka and Hanibal Lecter​

Trump at the speech in Cedar Rapids heaped praise on his daughter Ivanka Trump, describing her as a "beauty" and "the whole package."
The former president then commented that he was "not allowed" to speak about his daughter's appearance.

Trump also praised fictional serial killer Hanibal Lecter, although he quickly clarified he meant an actor who portrayed him, who he claimed said that he loved the former president.

He said: "Hanibal Lecter, how great an actor he was. You know why I like him? Because he said on television 'I love Donald Trump' so I love him."

It is unclear which of the several actors who have portrayed Lecter Trump referred to and none have publicly stated their support for the [former] president.

Officially, Trump’s height and weight would correlate to a BMI of 30.1, just a bit over the 30.0 level to be considered obese — the lowest of three levels. That is not high enough to count as Class 3 obesity.

He looks like the typical out of shape, overweight septagenarian.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Allright, I'm going to the gym later. I promise! Straight after my mid morning coffee and cake.

OK, but remember:
Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories:

• Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35.
• Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40.
• Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “severe” obesity.

Seems like I'm healthy. Except that I'm 5" too short...

Actually, it seems a reasonable calculation. I know my 'fighting weight' and if I was a couple of kilos over that then I'd consider it 'healthy.'

Everyone knows Hannibal Lector despised rude people. The only way he might even tolerate Trump would be with a nice Chianti and some fava beans.

Hannibal agrees, but he says neither is prime flesh.

Trump still has Lecter on his mind
Trump: ‘Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man’​

Former President Trump referred to the notorious fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter as a “wonderful man” during a weekend campaign speech in New Jersey.

“Has anyone ever seen ‘The Silence of the Lambs’? The late, great Hannibal Lecter. He’s a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me, I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter,” Trump said.

Trump then returned to his focus on the migrant crisis.

Can you imagine the response if any other politician said something that crazed? But it's no crazier than many other things Trump has blurted out recently.

This is the new normal. It shouldn't be.

Trump regularly insults overweight people....and many Americans, including those at his rallies, are overweight. "Fat Alvin", etc. Yet, they cheer him.

Trump has a knack for appealing to the worst instincts of human nature. And the crowds love it.

Wait - that contradicts your OP where it clearly states he said the ACTOR who played the fictional character was a wonderful man.

See what happens with bias - it morphs into something that didn’t happen.

Now with knowing your own posts show the error, will you be correcting the fallacy?
