“I looked at his a** and it was all muscle. I looked up and down his legs—very powerful,” Trump said.

Trump has brought up the 59-year-old's posterior on more than one occasion. It has almost become a talking point for the Trump administration, given that Vice President JD Vance responded to a question about cost of living going up by bringing Husted's body into focus. Vance even said he was jealous Trump never said anything positive about the VP's backside.

Even Dr Mehmet Oz, CDC head, said on October 28, that he too played football like Husted, though “not at his level”, but had “never gotten the compliments that he's received from the president."

Trump's comments have gained a fair amount of scrutiny online, with some wondering why the president would bring up the Ohio Senator's posterior while addressing crowds in Florida. Others also felt that Trump was touting Husted's football career more than what it actually was.

Reactions to Trump's comments about Husted

One person wrote, “Trump is once again regaling a final weekend rally crowd with…a detailed description of Jon Husted’s body. This time in Florida, a state that is not Ohio.”

Meanwhile, others felt Trump was going a bit overboard with the praise. “Jon Husted hasn't been in college for the past 37 years! His a** isn't exactly that of a college football player today!,” one wrote. Another said, “Wait. Is Jon Husted running to be on the Ohio football team. And his great ass is what qualifies him?”.

Yet another added, “Jon Husted played football for the Division III Dayton Flyers. Trump acts like his a** won the Heisman Trophy.”
