Former President Donald Trump mocked Democratic Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-Montana) weight, stating that he “looks pregnant.”

Trump made these remarks on May 4 during a private fundraising event at his Mar-a-Lago resort for Rep. Ronnie Jackson (R-Texas), who had been the former president’s White House physician. Tester helped torpedo Jackson’s nomination for Veteran’s Secretary during the Trump administration.

“He’s now in a tough campaign, and he could very well lose,” Trump stated about Tester. “We ought to go up and campaign against him. In fact, I looked at him and I said, ‘Oh, this finally works for a man or woman, because he looks pregnant to me.'”

The audience laughed as the former president kept speaking.

“Have you seen this guy? He doesn’t look like a fat guy, except his stomach is out to here,” Trump mentioned while making hand gestures. “Not that...

The Commander-in-Tweet was at it again Saturday morning, serving up a volley of Twitter remarks in what’s fast becoming a weekend tradition.

Today’s online menu from President Donald Trump was highlighted by a reference to the giant rally planned for Washington, Michigan tonight. The event, which is free to the public but ticketed, is intended as a slap against tonight’s White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC, which Trump is again missing thanks to his acrimonious relationships with the media.

Instead, he will likely bask in the enthusiasm of a suburban Michigan crowd, a conservative leaning section of the country that helped propel him to the presidency.

Before departing for Michigan, the president also found time to tweet out good news on South Korea (“Things are going well”), attacked former national intelligence director James Clapper (“He’s a lying machine”) and took Sen. Jon Tester to task...

'JFK' movie with Kevin Costner as Jim Garrison 'JFK' assassination movie: Gripping political drama gives added meaning to 'Rewriting History' If it's an Oliver Stone film, it must be bombastic, sentimental, clunky, and controversial. With the exception of "clunky," JFK is all of the above. It is also riveting, earnest, dishonest, moving, irritating, paranoid, and, more frequently than one might expect, outright brilliant. In sum, Oliver Stone's 1991 political thriller about a determined district attorney's investigation of the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy is a slick piece of propaganda that mostly works both dramatically and cinematically. If only some of the facts hadn't gotten trampled on the way to film illustriousness. With the exception of John Williams' overemphatic score – Oliver Stone films need anything but overemphasis – JFK's technical and artistic details are put in place to extraordinary effect. Joe Hutshing and Pietro Scalia's editing...
