The person who Donald Trump mocked at a campaign rally as having a “serious weight problem” was not a protester as it appeared Trump had initially thought, but instead was a supporter of the president.
Now, Trump has called the man to apologize.
As The Hill reported, a senior official in Donald Trump’s administration said that campaign staff got the rallygoer’s information after Trump had confused him with a protester and mocked the man’s weight before thousands of people in attendance. Trump was on board Air Force One returning to his summer vacation in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he made the phone call, which went to voicemail.
