Donald Trump brags about his ‘gorgeous chest’ at rally after tweeting image of himself as Rocky
- The doctored image was posted on Donald Trump’s Twitter and Instagram accounts without comment
- At election rally in Florida, Trump fumed about media coverage of his health after recent hospital visit
The president is furious over media speculation following his sudden trip to a government hospital outside Washington last Saturday and the startling tweet was his latest attempt to put talk of ill health to rest.
In the picture, Trump’s head is superimposed on the hulking body of a boxer – an image taken from the publicity poster for the Sylvester Stallone movie Rocky III. Stallone said “I love Donald Trump” in a 2016 interview with Variety.
The montage, in which a distinctly airbrushed version of the 73-year-old president’s face is used, comes without comment.
Not that the Republican real estate tycoon is shy on the subject. He rarely misses a chance to talk up his own physical prowess and often makes unscripted comments – flattering or derogatory – about the physique of other men, often to their face during official events.
On Tuesday, while giving a re-election campaign speech in Florida, Trump fumed at length in a bizarre rant about his recent hospital visit.
