Trump's Blue Suit Sparks Debate Amid Speculation on His Weight Loss
White House spokesperson criticizes CNN guest for expressing doubt about President Trump's weight loss, calling it unfounded speculation.
Joanna Coles, Daily Beast's chief content officer, raised eyebrows when she expressed her suspicion about President Donald Trump's sudden weight loss during an appearance on CNN's "Inside Politics."
Citing Trump's choice of a blue suit instead of the expected black one, Coles wondered if this fashion choice was linked to his weight loss. She expressed her fascination with the stark contrast, especially since Trump had worn a black suit during his previous meeting with Pope Francis.
In response to Coles' comments, White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung took to his X account, calling her a "piece of sh--" with a "pea-sized brain."
Trump attendee's spectacle at Pope Francis' funeral sparked controversy, with some critics deeming the choice of a blue suit "inappropriate" and "disrespectful." However, a Vatican source suggested no formal reprimand was issued, as attendees were allowed to wear what they considered appropriate. Notably, other leaders like Joe Biden and Prince William also opted for dark blue suits.
The buzz around Trump's attire overshadowed the underlying issue of his sudden weight loss. While the Daily Beast's Coles speculated about the reasons behind this transformation, there's been no concrete evidence disclosed about how Trump lost weight. Some speculate that he might have followed a specific diet or is taking certain medications, but these are mere assumptions.
Trump's annual physical results, released earlier this month, revealed no significant changes in his vital statistics, with him weighing 224 pounds and reporting a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute. Despite these findings, critics continue to speculate about Trump's health, warranting further reviews and evaluations of the president's well-being.
