What to Know
President Donald Trump is making comments about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s weight again, and The View‘s Ana Navarro has something to say about it. Trump previously called Pritzker “a big fat slob” (He has essentially called one of his “friends” the same thing). He also said Pritzker should “spend more time at the gym.” And more recently, on May 9, Trump shared an AI-generated meme mocking Pritzker’s weight on Truth Social.
Obviously, Trump has been criticized for resorting to really immature insults and “bullying” tactics many times before. And people have also questioned why he, of all people, is making fun of the way people look.
Navarro recently called him out for this on her podcast.
Ana Navarro: “Trump put out a fat meme attacking JB Pritzker. Fat memes are a pretty infantile thing to do, but particularly for Donald Trump. A guy who has no waistline, a guy whose ass deserves it’s own zip code” pic.twitter.com/0ICGObmXAX

She made the argument that these kinds of fat-shaming insults would be childish and offensive coming from anyone, but they also seem particularly hypocritical coming from Trump. On her podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, she said, “Trump put out a fat meme attacking JB Pritzker. Fat memes are a pretty infantile thing to do, but particularly for Donald Trump — a guy who has no waistline, a guy whose a– deserves its own zip code.”
Reactions to Navarro’s commentary were pretty mixed on X, where the clip from her podcast has been circulating. Some people found her comment “hilarious” and said she “nailed it,” while others accused Navarro of being hypocritical for making her own joke about Trump’s body.
“Trump mocking someone’s appearance is peak hypocrisy,” one person commented. “A man built like a melted candle shouldn’t be body-shaming anybody.” Someone else joked, “In fairness, his a– looks bigger than it is because of his adult diaper.”
At the same time, people also found it “infantile” to call Trump out for commenting on people’s bodies — and then criticize his body as well. “And yet people post fat memes about Trump 100 times a day,” another person commented. “But I agree; fat memes are infantile. Better to attack politics rather than physical traits.”
The meme Trump posted shows an AI-generated image of Pritzker surrounded by junk food.
The text that accompanied the image read, “JB is too busy to keep Chicago safe!” This is very similar to comments he’s made about Pritzker in the past; in 2024, he actually said Pritzker was “too busy eating” to be an effective governor.
Pritzker himself has also suggested that Trump’s comments about his weight are hypocritical. In 2025, after Trump made a comment about how Pritzker should spend more time at the gym, Pritzker said, “It takes one to know one on the weight question. And the president, of course, himself, is not in good shape. So, he ought to respond to that from me.”
He also added, “I would say also that his personal attacks on me are just evidence of a guy who’s still living in fifth grade. He’s the kind of bully that throws invectives at people — because he knows that what he’s saying is actually commentary on himself.”
Trump’s own cabinet members have made comments about his weight and eating habits.
RFK Jr. on Trump:

“He eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and candy and Diet Coke. But he drinks Diet Coke at all times. He has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive…He's just pumping himself full of poison all day long." pic.twitter.com/l4iHnlTkiE
The meme Trump shared to mock Pritzker looks kind of similar to how members of his cabinet have described his diet. But, memes aside, some people in Trump’s circle have actually seemed concerned about his weight. For example, Dr. Mehmet Oz has said that while Trump is healthy overall, his weight does raise concerns. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said Trump’s eating habits are pretty “unhinged.”
He previously said, “I don’t know how he’s alive,” considering the fact that he “eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s and candy and Diet Coke.” Both Kennedy and Dr. Oz have said that Trump eats junk food while traveling to avoid getting sick (somehow?). They claim that his diet is healthier when he’s not traveling. At the same time, RFK Jr. said Trump drinks Diet Coke “at all times.”
