President Donald Trump owns a resort in Palm Beach, although he isn’t known for spending a great deal of time on the actual beach.

This week, in an appearance with the president of Argentina, the president referred to both his lack of beach time and his not beach-ready body.

“I’m just a little busy. I’d love to go to Argentina,” Trump said while standing next to Argentine President Javier Milei. “I’d like to be like Biden. I’d like to go to the beach. My legs are not quite as thin as his. My legs are slightly heavier, my arms are slightly larger. My body is a little bit larger than his. I’m not sure it would be appreciated on the beach.”

“Somebody told him he looked good in a bathing suit… And you’d see this guy on the beach all the time, I never quite understood,” Trump said of his predecessor as president. “You won’t see me in a bathing suit sitting on a beach in Argentina, falling down, not being able to lift a 3-ounce chair—meant for old people to lift.” That appeared to be a reference to recent reports about Biden struggling to put away a beach chair.

The purpose of the meeting was perhaps more embarrassing than the body comments.

Per The Daily Beast, Trump was hosting the Argentinian president, widely seen on the right as a free market hero, and as a close ally of Trump. Milei had attended Trump’s inauguration.

“Trump hosted Milei as the Latin American leader tries to stave off a worsening financial crisis and mounting political instability in his country,” The Daily Beast reported. “The meeting comes just days after the Trump administration agreed to provide a $20 billion bailout to Argentina, reportedly in the form of a currency swap with its central bank.”

Trump also appeared to suggest that the aid package will only be on the table as long as Milei remains in power.
