I bet I can guess who he voted for.
Hint: The fat guy.
Taft?
Of course. Who else?
It's funny-sad to me that Taft was known for being obese, but compared to modern people, if you saw him on the street today, you wouldn't even think twice.

He's a chonk, but he's still able to stand.
Not really, he's dead.
It looks like it’s really uncomfortable though. I saw an older guy shaped like that in line at the bank the other day. He kept squatting down to rest each time the line advanced. It was odd to see someone squatting at the bank and odd to see an old man so able to squat and get up from a squat, but his body shape made it make sense.
I saw a guy so large riding in a chevy pickup yesterday that he was listing the truck
Might be the angle, but his ass looks wider than his shoulders. I don’t know of a medical term for such a thing, but he looks rotund for his time.
Even there he looks fatter than he is due to the old-timey way of pulling your waistband over the belly, rather than letting it all hang down like a big meat apron.
Bruh this man is not obese, he's just slightly larger than usual what the hell
Compared to other people of the day, he was pretty large, though not morbidly obese. It's really a comment on modern people that this is considered slightly larger than usual.
It's sad to me how many people don't recognize morbid obesity, or downplay being overweight in general because other people are also that size.
As much as I despise the fat man and his tribe I can tell you did not read the news. It's personal in nature it's an ex-student of that school a Jewish person himself.
I still say he did it on behalf of Grover Cleveland.
If we’re talking fat presidents doesn’t Taft take (and eat) the cake?
They meant Trump and his voters.
Oh. Sigh. Phew. Thanks.
Article says he was driving a Dodge Ram when he was pulled over and shot. Maybe it’s because I live in California, but I don’t know any Dodge Ram drivers that didn’t vote for trump.
Can you not?
I’m just saying, there is a very specific personality type that chooses to drive a Dodge Ram.

And apparently it has nothing to do with trump.
HAHA did not expect empirical evidence to be produced, bravo
are you yes?
Do Jewish people not vote for the fat man?
80% didn't
why would being jewish mean you vote for him, a majority of jews lean democrat and about half claim their political views to be liberal (according to pew research). a majority of jews also disapprove of trump. are you just trying to be racist?
Bruh. My inlaws are Jewish, and they love Trump and DeSantis. It happens.
Boomers are full of lead.
Okay but he's implying that because they're Jewish, they would have voted for Trump. Which is more uncommon than not. It happens, but he's saying that as a group Jews surely do it.
That’s not at all what I’m saying.
I’m saying just because you are Jewish does not mean you would not vote for trump.
Some US Jews are conservative because of their stance on Israel.
Chris Christie?
