Trump jokes about what will be ‘the end of my political career’
While President Donald Trump slammed the appearances of two Democratic leaders during a White House meeting on Tuesday, he claimed that the use of one word for someone in his cabinet would be "the end of my political career."
Trump spoke to reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday about transgender athletes and his recent deployments of the U.S. National Guard. Then he started to talk about U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
"And then I saw this poor, stupid Chuck Schumer, the guy, he looks like he's aged 100 years, and I don't like getting into looks," Trump said, according to the Huffington Post . "You know, looks don't mean anything, right? When you're in politics, looks don't matter."
Before he called Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker a "slob," Trump pointed at U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"Look at Pam," Trump continued. "I would never say she's beautiful because that'd be the end of my political career."
While supporters and critics of the president posted online about the comment, some social media users pointed out Bondi's handling of the "client list" of disgraced financier and convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
In an unsigned memo, the intelligence community said no such list exists.
One user cited a Wall Street Journal story from July that said Bondi told Trump in May that he was on Epstein's list.
"Please leave Pam alone," an anti-Trump account on X posted Wednesday. "She is very busy erasing Trump from the Epstein evidence."
"Dear Trump, rather than saying you can't [say] Pam Bondi is beautiful, just say it, [expletive]," another X post reads. "Release the Epstein files!"
