He's 64. Unlike Trump, he's also an alcoholic. He needs a hip replacement, but his doctor won't do the surgery until he loses 50 lbs. He and his wife took Wegovy.
VShe liked it because she got down to her goal weight. He didn't like it because it reduced his appetite for food AND alcohol, and those were 2 of the 3 pleasures he still had in life (the other being hunting). I've stayed in touch with his daughter and she fully expects him to be dead soon.

Considering Trump is such a big baby, I doubt he would be happy taking something that took away his appetite. What pleasures does he have other than eating like a skinny teenager?
