Nancy Pelosi’s ‘morbidly obese’ Donald Trump burn wins takedown of the day

As you may have seen by now, Donald Trump has revealed he has been taking antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus preventative, despite anyone who knows anything about this sort of thing warning against it.

And it prompted no end of wonderful responses. But the best burn – the very best burn – might have come courtesy of House speaker Nancy Pelosi. Watch this!

Pelosi just called ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ “morbidly obese” on CNN. And she did it while expressing concern for his health. I can’t stop laughing. She’s so good at this. pic.twitter.com/3f7hKunA3V

Don’t know about hydroxychloroquine but Trump’s going to have to take some medication to treat that burn.

The way @andersoncooper manages to not react to 'morbidly obese' is impressive. I mean, I *think* there's a flicker but he is stoic https://t.co/Yme7JUTrnV
