Bookies and gambling outlets begin taking bets on what TFG's weight will be

I would be on the over.




Donald Trump suffers the worst humiliation of his life as bookies and gambling outlets begin taking bets on what his weight will be when jail officials weigh him at the Fulton County jail Georgia.

The details are just too juicy to pass up...

According to http://BetOnline.ag, you can bet on Trump's recorded weight with the line currently sitting at over/under 278.5 pounds.

For reference, when he was president his physician claimed that the infamously unhealthy Trump weighed 244 pounds. At the time many cried foul, unable to square the professed weight with Trump's morbidly obese appearance.

When he is booked and his mugshot is taken, the weight will be released. This is a particularly painful indignity for Trump because he spends much of his time fat shaming his enemies, from Chris Christie to Rosie O'Donnell.

In recent weeks, Trump has seemed particularly sensitive about his weight and has complained that Fox News only uses unflattering photos of him "especially the big ‘orange’ one with my chin pulled way back."

So, which bet would you take? Over or under 278.5 pounds?

Haven't seen any height/weight of anyone posted yet

Have a feeling we still won't know.


Hmm...well, they do note height/weight on the booking

All multiples of 5, so that is probably correct - odds are that at least one of them would have ended in something other than a 0 or a 5 if they were actually weighing them.

I'll stick with that. (This is based on how I looked at my all-time high of 260, and a fudge factor for height difference.)

this just seems so wrong to my mindset.

It will end up shaming far more people who don’t deserve the shaming.

But given this pig's penchant for making comments about others' physical appearances, I would LOVE to see him humiliated. He does not have one single redeeming value to him, not a single one. . . He is a pig in every single regard, and I don't want to insult our true porcine friends.
