If you consider yourself weak-stomached, or you recently had your dinner or bedtime snack, might I suggest that you come back to this article on an empty, strong stomach? Because what you’re about to read genuinely almost made me toss my cookies.
This evening, Trump gave his big speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas. The speech was chock full of his typical bullshit about the election, his White House comeback that he has yet to announce, nasty attacks on his successor, and unhinged rants about the various investigations and lawsuits raging against him, namely the January 6th House Select Committee’s ongoing probe into his role in the deadly Capitol attack.
But none of that prepared us for this.
At one point in the speech, the former president went on a truly bizarre tirade full of praises for his former White House doctor turned TX House representative, Ronny Jackson, who just so happened to be seated in the audience. It’s not all that uncommon at all for Trump to cite Jackson in his manic rants about his youthfulness, picture-perfect health, and virility. But this time, he took it too far. Way too damn far.
During tonight’s speech, the one-term, twice-impeached former guy claimed that in his position as the official White House physician, Ronny Jackson “loved looking at my body.”

“He was an admiral, a doctor and now he’s a congressman,” Trump said, before going on to tell the story of a time when he asked Jackson, “Which is the best if you had your choice?’ And he sort of indicated doctor, because he loved looking at my body. It was so strong and powerful.”
Jackson was seated in the crowd absolutely beaming with pride at this point.
“But he said I’m the healthiest president that’s ever lived,” Trump said. “I was the healthiest. I said ‘I like this guy. I don’t know who the hell he is’ at the time, I said, but I liked him.”

“Ronny looked at my Body with tears in his eyes and said, ‘Sir, Sir, I’ve never seen such a Strong, Powerful Body with the Biggest Muscles anyone’s ever seen! You’re totally not Morbidly Obese at all, and your Hands are Very Big!’ Ronny cried so hard he barfed, and then fainted.”
