## Resource

Former President Trump dropped a surprisingly fitness-focused podcast clip, comparing himself to William Howard Taft — the only president from Cincinnati and a heavyweight in both literal and historical terms. Taft, known for his massive size and love of baseball and hot dogs, became a punchline for Trump, who joked he’s determined not to surpass Taft’s record. While Taft’s legacy includes serving as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court — a role he reportedly preferred — Trump’s comments tie presidential history to personal health, urging listeners to stay fit. Trump’s recent physical showed him at 238 pounds, just shy of clinical obesity — perhaps fueling his newfound focus on staying lean. It’s a quirky twist on history, where Taft’s physicality overshadows his policy impact — now being revived as a talking point by a current political figure.
