'Officially The Weirdest Trump Bit': President Stuns With Fresh Rants About Men's Anatomy
“What in the actual hell is going on?”
- •Trump's bizarre rally speech has sparked widespread confusion and concern among social media users.
- •His comments about men's anatomy, including a Republican senator's physical attributes, have been met with ridicule and alarm.
- •Trump's unorthodox campaign tactics and personal remarks have raised questions about his ability to connect with voters and win the midterms.
Donald Trump has caused significant alarm on social media after ranting again about "studying" men's anatomy.
The US president was speaking at a Texas rally on Tuesday ahead of the US midterms next week, where the Republican Party is expected to take a beating from American voters angry about the rising cost of living.
Trump was meant to be winning back voters in this final campaign push when he started to discuss the backside of Republican Senator for Ohio, Jon Husted – on stage.
Recalling how he praised the senator's "***" for being a "pile of muscle" during two previous rallies this month, the president said; "I never knew he even played football.
"So I'm studying him, and I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ***."
The president claimed he then started looking at Husted's "massive" hands and feet, with "fingers like sausages".
Trump alleged he patted the senator on the back when they met, adding: "I hurt my hand. It was like I was hitting steel."
Reliving his earlier public praise for Husted, Trump said: "But I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience, and the audience loved it.
"By the way, he went up 12 points that day. He went from being down to being up. Maybe I should do that with [Texas Republican Senate candidate] Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is going to qualify."
Trump also rambled on about how he does not like "handsome young men" during his speech and spoke about "three massive, beautiful, handsome generals" during another rant.
In another bizarre bit, he tried to mock the Democratic candidate for the US senate in Texas by alleging he had food poisoning from meat – and then tried to do an impression of James Talarico eating.
The address was the president's closing message to Texas before the electorate head to the polls for the midterms.
But the whole thing left social media users bewildered, to say the least...
