Crookies 2022: The 'With Friends Like These' Award

By Frances Langum — December 25, 2022

As we've already noted, Donald Trump never wins a Crookie Award. He gets NOTHING.

But his so-called "allies" win this one for being such "good friends." Ahem.

Because clearly, Trumpworld is not above fat-shaming to keep Mango Mussolini out of jail.

Yahoo News reports "Trump's 'girth would prevent him from actually getting to the steering wheel' of his SUV, former Secret Service agent says: 'I don't see this president ever being able to do that. Ever.'"

THIS is their latest excuse?

Girth. That's one word for it. And it seems supportive personnel in the Secret Service are not above using that excuse to help their Dear Leader avoid prosecution.

I’m too fat and my hands are too small to choke a Secret
Agent.

Meanwhile, some convincing still photos from January 6 are making the rounds. It sure does appear President Girth was reaching for the front seats of the Presidential SUV.

holy moly, look at the angle of trumps posture as the SUV stats to move, he goes from seated normally to damn near in the front seat. i doubt he got his hands on the wheel but I can totally see how this story got exaggerated by some doofus to impress the pretty girl https://t.co/QFMd3VhcM5 pic.twitter.com/RVqGQJTHSI

Whether they're lying to "help" Trump or shame him, they win a Crookie Award for 2022.
