Trump: Hinson Lost Weight The Old-Fashioned Way
The president told a Dubuque crowd that the Iowa representative changed her physique without using injectable drugs.

President Donald Trump discussed Representative Ashley Hinson’s physical appearance during a rally in Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday. He made the comments while supporting her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat.
Trump acknowledged that Hinson asked him to hold back. “I shouldn’t say this. It’s inappropriate,” he told the audience. He noted that Hinson had told him, “Please, sir, don’t do this.”
The president described Hinson as being “a little bit heavier” in the past. He claimed she understood the “weight” on her shoulders both literally and figuratively. He stated that she improved her condition through traditional methods rather than using weight loss injections.
A protester interrupted the speech after Trump mimed an injection. He complained that they “always do it right in the middle of my punchline.” The crowd chanted “USA” as security removed the individual.
Trump concluded that Hinson followed a strict regimen and is now in “perfect shape.” He admitted to gaining “a couple of pounds” himself. He added that she “did that for you.”
This remark follows recent comments by the president about other candidates’ bodies. He previously praised Senator Jon Husted of Ohio, noting that the lawmaker has “a great ass, very powerful ass.”
