Trump Extols 'Powerful Ass' in Oval Office TikTok Video
The former president's repeated comments about men's physiques, including Senator Jon Husted's, have drawn attention.
President Donald Trump has again made public remarks about the physique of Senator Jon Husted (R-Ohio), this time in a TikTok video posted from the Oval Office. In the clip, Trump stated, “I told the people, they didn’t know this, he has a great ass. Very powerful ass. His shoulders, his hands, his arms.” Trump claimed this declaration led to a 12-point increase in unspecified "ratings," a significant jump not reflected in current polling data for Husted's race against Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), where Brown holds a slight edge.
This is not the first time Trump has commented on Husted's appearance. He first brought up the senator's posterior at a rally, describing it as "like a pile of muscle." Trump has also recently focused on the physical attributes of other men, with CNN's Anderson Cooper highlighting a supercut of these comments. Separately, Trump commented on rapper Nicki Minaj's appearance, calling her rear end "one hell of a beautiful ass."
In contrast to his praise for Husted, Trump has also been critical of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), whom Trump had endorsed. Trump recalled telling Paxton, “I’m not sure if I like your look, I’m not sure if I like the way you dress, I don’t like the way you talk,” though he has consistently praised Paxton for his loyalty.
