Trump gets laughs in Youngstown with a cheeky bit about Jon Husted's athletic build
At a Monday rally in Youngstown President Trump joked that he sized up Sen. Jon Husted from head to toe to confirm the senator was once a great athlete.
President Donald Trump turned part of his Monday night rally in Youngstown, Ohio, into a comedy set about Sen. Jon Husted's body.
Campaigning in Ohio
Trump traveled to Ohio to campaign for Husted, the Republican incumbent facing Democrat Sherrod Brown, along with two other candidates on the ballot. The midterm elections are only a few weeks off.
During the televised speech Trump told the crowd he was surprised to hear that Husted had been a standout athlete back in his days at the University of Dayton.
The joke
Trump said he decided to check the claim for himself. He described looking Husted over from head to toe before settling his attention on the senator's backside.
The audience burst out laughing. Trump kept the bit going with remarks about Husted's physique, including his hands, which he compared to claws. He also made a point of telling the crowd that he does not usually study other men's bodies.
