James Gunn Offers $100,000 For Donald Trump’s Real Weight, Trevor Noah Also Weighs In
– Both The Daily Show host Trevor Noah and Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn gave their thoughts on the recent revelation that President Donald Trump weighs 239 pounds and was 6’3. The news was revealed by White House doctor Ronny Jackson as part of the President’s annual check-up. In spite of the President being one pound shy of obesity, he was declared to be in excellent health.
The number on the weight seemed suspicious to Gunn, who said he would pay $100,000 for Trump to step on an accurate scale. It was part of the new “Girther” movement on social media, a title that mocks the “Birther” movement that Trump was a part of when President Obama was in office. Gunn wrote:
I will give 100 thousand dollars to Trump's favorite charity if he will step on an accurate scale with an impartial medical professional, okayed by both of us. For real. #Girther #GirtherMovement

I would be afraid that it's the Ku Klux Klan but there's no way in hell he's 239 pounds, so I don't have to worry about it.

This has nothing to do with fat shaming. It has to do with a continuous pattern of fabricating facts by both Trump and his administration. https://t.co/88Jw1pGLfe

Meanwhile, Trevor Noah had a segment last night where he had serious questions for Jackson about the President’s health. He said: “No heart problems, no dementia, no dentures… but did you test for racism?”
He added that Trump being declared sane made him “even more worried” because “that means he’s doing all of this shit on purpose. You covfefe in your normal mind?”
