Former President Trump, 78, told supporters at a rally in Wisconsin that if he weren’t running for office, he would be ‘sunbathing on a beach’ with his ‘beautiful’ body.
At rallies, Trump often discusses the appearance of his opponents, but this time he took the opportunity to speak highly of his own looks.
The strange comments arose when he was discussing the kind of life he could be leading if he weren’t campaigning for president.
‘I could have been sunbathing on the beach,’ Trump said.

‘You have never seen a body so beautiful,’ he continued.
Attendees laughed in response to his boast and some people cheered and clapped.
Then Trump went on to say that his body was ‘much better than Sleepy Joe’s.’
This wasn’t the first time Trump has compared his looks with his an opponent’s.
In August, he claimed at a Pennsylvania rally that he was ‘better looking’ than Kamala Harris.
He began by musing on Harris’s appearance on the cover of Time magazine, which he had previously compared to his wife Melania.

Trump commented on the picture’s resemblance to classic Hollywood icons Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor and then took issue with a Wall Street Journal columnist remarking earlier this month on Harris’ beauty.
‘I am much better looking than her,’ Trump said, drawing laughs from the crowd. ‘I’m a better looking person than Kamala.’
One MAGA supporter saw humor in Trump’s comments, writing on social media: ‘Comedians all over the world will be studying this man’s brain for years. They work years to be funny and don’t get anywhere close to him’.
However, many others attacked the president for the riff on his and Harris’ looks, with one noting the previous comparison he made between Harris and Melania.
Donald Trump remarked on Kamala Harris ‘ Time Magazine cover, saying he thought the vice president resembled his wife and former First Lady Melania during his interview with Elon Musk
‘Trump literally said the picture of Kamala on Time magazine was so beautiful that she reminded him of Melania. Now Trump’s saying he’s better looking than his wife?’
Trump had previously spoken about Harris’s appearance on the magazine, which was an illustration, with Musk during their conversation on X spaces.
‘She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania,’ Trump told Musk.
‘She didn’t look like Kamala, but of course, she’s a beautiful woman, so we’ll leave it at that,’ he said.
