President Trump took a public jab at a “very successful, very rich” pal who allegedly uses “the fat shot drug” — but hasn’t seen success.
“A friend of mine who’s a businessman … most of you would’ve heard of him,” Trump said, while giving a speech at a signing ceremony at the White House on Monday, per video circulating on X.
“Highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight. And he takes the fat shot drug.”
The unnamed friend allegedly told Trump that he paid just $88 for the popular weight-zapping drug in London while dishing out $1,300 for it in New York.
“What the hell is going on?” Trump’s mysterious pal asked, noting, “It’s not working.”
Those in attendance began chuckling after hearing the president’s weighty insult, while others at home on social media began speculating who the politician could be referring to in his speech.
“Only $88!? If it cost that much in America, we’d definitely see less fat people … which fat businessman is he talking about???” one curious user asked, with another guessing, “Chris Christie?”
Many came to a different conclusion — that the pal in question was none other than DOGE head Elon Musk.
“Trump likely referred to Elon Musk, who has admitted to using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and fits the description of a ‘brilliant businessman,’” tweeted another X user.
“However, there’s no evidence Musk complained about the drug’s price, adding uncertainty. Some speculate Trump meant himself, but he has denied using such drugs, making this less likely,” they concluded, adding that the identity “remains unconfirmed.”
“I think I know who he’s talking about,” joked a third X follower, along with an infamous pic of the Tesla mogul shirtless on a yacht.
A fourth posited another possibility, writing, “I’m thinking John Catsimatidis,” alongside an “unflattering picture” of the grocery chain businessman.
Despite not having any answers regarding the pal’s identity at this time, many admitted they were simply entertained by Trump’s brutal insult.
“Imagine having a friendship at this level where your [homie] can go on the news and troll you this hard,” one social media user wrote.
“I laughed so damn loud that I scared my dog. Sorry,” another joked.
