      “After his last physical we found out Trump gained 14 pounds, he’s now tipping the scales at almost 240,” Jelly Rolly said. “It’s crazy. Think about this, in the last few years I’ve lost 300 pounds—that means I’ve lost an entire Donald Trump.

      “And let’s be honest, based on his approval ratings, it seems like most of the country wants to do the same thing.”

      Jelly Roll sarcastically suggested that viewers should not ridicule Trump’s weight because the president would “never do that to other people.” The show then aired clips of Trump insulting people over their weight and appearance.

      Jelly Roll responded that it was “the pot calling the kettle fat” and, describing himself and Trump as two “fat” men, advised the president to prioritize physical fitness.

      Republicans lost their shit.

      branded Jelly Roll a “traitor” and accused him of abandoning his “blue-collar, working class, ‘one of us’ image.”

      “That’s not comedy. That’s a calculated sell-out. Jelly Roll just told every fan who still believed in him exactly what he thinks of them.”

      “Ozempic enthusiast Jelly Roll decided to fill in for communist propagandist Jimmy Kimmel and decided to attack President Trump. Thanks for letting us all know that you are complete fraud.”

      Republican Representative Jimmy Patronis joined the backlash by declaring that Jelly Roll was “100% not welcomed” in Florida’s Panhandle, which includes the congressman’s 1st District.

      Patronis wrote on X that he did not “even want to see his bus on I-10,” and dismissed the singer as the kind of token “country” star enjoyed by California liberals.

      “He ain’t country, never was,” Patronis wrote, before telling Jelly Roll to “take the TDS elsewhere, loser.”

      The fatphobia gets a pass from them, they’re just upset that Trump was the target.
