Former President Donald Trump, despite his recent criticisms of Fox News, opened up about his remarkable weight loss in an exclusive interview with anchor Brian Kilmeade aboard his private jet during a visit to New Hampshire on January 22.
Kilmeade initiated the conversation by complimenting Trump’s jet, leading to a discussion comparing it to the one featured in “The Apprentice.” Despite the luxurious upgrade, Trump expressed a preference for Air Force One.
Notably, Kilmeade, observing Trump’s physical transformation, questioned him about the weight loss. Trump attributed the shedding of ‘maybe 15, maybe 20’ pounds to his hectic schedule, explaining, “I work. I’ve been so busy. I haven’t been able to eat very much.”
Acknowledging Trump’s constant movement, Kilmeade avoided delving into the former president’s recent criticism of Fox News during the interview. Trump had criticized the network on Truth Social, accusing it of becoming one-sided and losing favor with the Republican base.
Surprisingly, reports suggest Melania Trump’s influence on Trump’s weight loss, steering him away from the Mar-a-Lago buffet at his Florida club. Insiders disclosed to Page Six that Trump had shed at least 30 pounds, opting for healthier food choices and reducing buffet consumption.
This weight loss stands in stark contrast to Trump’s alleged weight of 215 pounds when he turned himself into Georgia police in August 2023 amid election-related allegations. Sources claim this weight was 25 pounds less than his reported weight in April of the same year.
Trump’s healthier eating choices mark a departure from his previous habits, refraining from indulging in ice cream sundaes or chocolate cake, according to recent reports. Interestingly, Trump allegedly commented on his weight during a court sketch, suggesting a need to ‘lose some weight’ after reviewing the artist’s portrayal of him.
In the midst of political criticisms and transformations, Trump’s physical changes continue to capture public attention.
