Donald Trump Won't Wear Bulletproof Vest Because He Doesn't Want to Look Fat
Donald Trump I Weighed My Options ... Bullets Over Belly Any Day!!!
Donald Trump would rather dodge bullets than a bad angle ... 'cause apparently, a few extra pounds is where he draws the line!
Hot on the heels of yet another assassination attempt -- allegedly by Cole Tomas Allen this time -- the U.S. President was asked Friday in the Oval Office whether he'd consider wearing a bulletproof vest ... and he joked he couldn't handle looking 20 pounds heavier.
Yes, really -- world politics, threats on his life -- the man's still thinking about his silhouette.
The room ate it up with laughs -- and Trump leaned right in, adding, "If you want to gain 20 to 25 pounds, get a vest ... and live!"
Still, jokes aside ... this isn't exactly a hypothetical situation. The alleged WHCD shooter Allen is facing three charges -- including attempting to assassinate a sitting president.
And let’s not forget, this isn't Trump's first close call -- he’s taken a literal shot to the ear ... but when it comes to extra weight, that’s the only hit he refuses to take!
