President Donald Trump used part of a meandering speech to House Republicans to beg photographers to make him look thin.

At one point, the notoriously image-conscious president interrupted his own speech to address photographers in the front row and demand that they take flattering pictures of him. "Make me look thin for once, you're making me look a bit heavy," said the president

Good luck with that.

There's clearly something wrong with all the lenses on all the cameras pointed in Old Yeller's direction. Don't know yet if it's a plot, but that's what some people are saying already, which is a record for some people saying that and some people not saying those things, that it is but maybe not and maybe. So, fake news, not fat.

That's one explanation.

The other? Trump is the Fatty Arbuckle American politics. (No disrespect intended for Fatty.)

Why would a lucid man make such a statement?

Weight-loss drugs commonly available now.

But what else in the Trumpist pharmacopeia might they interfere with?

All further Trump photos will require air brushing to present a slimmer appearance.

You'd think he'd tone down the toner first. He looks like a Jack-o'-lantern that's been left out 'till Thanksgiving
