Trump suggests Chris Christie is his "fat guy." Here's a report from Slate (emphasis added):
"There was a fat contestant who was a buffoon and a fuckup," recalls the midlevel producer. "And he would fuck up week after week, and the producers would figure that he'd screwed up so badly that Trump would have to fire him. But Trump kept deciding to fire someone else. The producers had to scramble because of course Trump can never be seen to make a bad call on the show, so we had to re-engineer the footage to make a different contestant look bad. Later, I heard a producer talk to him, and Trump said, 'Everybody loves a fat guy. People will watch if you have a funny fat guy around. Trust me, it's good for ratings.' I look at Chris Christie now and I swear that's what's happening."
Senator Ben Sasse enlightens.
