President Donald Trump marveled over Sen. Jon Husted’s “ass” on Monday in another rhapsodic tangent about male bodies.
At a Youngstown, Ohio, rally to boost the GOP incumbent in his tight race against Democrat Sherrod Brown, Trump said:
“I’m standing over here, and I don’t do this with men very often. I started examining his body because I didn’t know he was a great athlete. And I looked, and I watched up and down. And I looked at his ass. … And then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He’s got these, like, claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete.”
Trump also complimented the “jawline” of Husted, a former defensive back for Division III national football champion Dayton in 1989. “I never studied him,” the president remarked. “Now I study him.”
Trump also suggested that “beautiful” WNBA player Sophie Cunningham would help more with attendance than by scoring points.
Trump has openly admired the male physique in a bromantic-ish way before.
At a New York campaign stop in May, he remarked on the “legs like tree trunks” of “beautiful” Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart.
