Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) joked that he had a “moment of weakness” on Twitter Wednesday night after he shared an image comparing photos of President Trump and former President Obama.

“I KNOW I shouldn't have retweeted this. A moment of weakness…” Leahy tweeted alongside the comparison.

The tweet Leahy shared compared a photo of Obama to Trump with the caption “ObamaCare vs. TrumpCare…you decide.”

1. and repubics are OUTRAGED!

[homegirl]

34. Contrast

A Hunk and a A Chunk!

[ExciteBike66]

2. Trump has called others "fat", so this seems almost appropriate.

Perhaps the old rule about "two wrongs" doesn't apply when the second wrong is used to knock a dipsh*t down a peg or two.

[marble falls]

12. Not only soft and fat but a mouth breather, too.

[ExciteBike66]

33. Hey, I resemble that remark!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. !!!!!!

[tavernier]

4. Can I rec this 400 times?

One for every pound of President Cockroach?

[dalton99a]

18. +1

[GoneOffShore]

20. No, but you could reTweet it.

[Docreed2003]

5. I hope that apology was in jest

A). There’s nothing wrong with that hilarious and spot on tweet. B). We should never fucking apologize for hurting Trumps feefees....he dishes worse out every day. It’s time to stand up to the bully!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. I got that impression...

since the "apology" is within the tweet itself. Love it!

[FailureToCommunicate]

6. A better "Trumpcare" image instead of that unhealthy blob could be...

Nice mobile home:
?w=375&h=289

Or luxury room:

Legendary photographer Mary Ellen Mark dies

Arts May 26, 2015 6:42 PM EST

Photographer Mary Ellen Mark, best known for her striking portraiture and investigative documentary work, died Monday at the age of 75.

Mark’s career spanned more than four decades, and her emotional photographs capturing the lives of those often overlooked made her one of the most recognizable contemporary photographers.

Her work took her around the world, from circuses in India to homeless shelters across upstate New York, and took to showcasing the individuals and ideas often unnoticed or underappreciated.

7. k&r you funny Leahy!

[AJT]

8. And I bet Present Obama drank that bottle of water without looking like a fool.

[PearliePoo2]

9. Good God! Is it OK for me to remark that I believe, in all respects...

President Obama is a beautiful man?

[Neema]

14. He gets a two syllable day-yum in my book.

God I miss him so much.

[Achilleaze]

10. A moment of truth

for America. KGOP repuke snowfakes melt into puddles of tears as reality intrudes on their propaganda clouds.

[KelleyKramer]

13. Sheesh, no wonder Trump wears huge suit jackets and long ties, he is in terrible shape

And Trump is the first one to fat shame??

Everything with that sick fuck is nothing but projection

[Neema]

16. Yeah. And he has literally no excuse.

He has assistants to do everything for him, a personal chef, free access to any doctor, trainer or physical therapist he’d like, and plenty of time since he sits around all day watching Fox News and tweeting.

The rest of us have to fit working out into whatever time is left after we work all day, run errands, cook meals, take care of our families, and do housework. And if we have injuries, we have to wait to see a doctor and hope insurance will cover treatment.

[maddiemom]

31. No, you don't understand....

Trump is over seventy, and long ago used up most of his "lifetime supply" of energy. He believes the human body has only a finite supply of energy. Once that is largely used up, you must be very careful to not exert yourself unduly. If I'm not mistaken, he has been quoted as believing something to that effect.

[FakeNoose]

21. Seen on Twitter recently

Double chin, bloated neck, puffy cheeks? This man's health isn't good.

[klook]

36. Have another bacon double cheeseburger, Mr. President. (n/t)

[denbot]

15. Cool, my body is Presidential.

Though I’ll not mention which..

[L. Coyote]

17. AND ... wait for it .... the "moment of weakness" is .....

yet another jab at the guy who can't stop himself from tweeting utter bullshit.

[MontanaMama]

19. Made my day!

THAT has to win the Twitters today, right??

[El Mimbreno]

22. Buff vs duff. nt

[El Mimbreno]

24. Saw another Obama pic

Coming out of the ocean with snorkeling gear. Can you imagine trump snorkeling? Thar she blows!

[Cyrano]

25. Trump would get harpooned.

[El Mimbreno]

29. A change from constantly getting lampooned. nt

[sheilahi]

30. Orca alert

Yeah, just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. And, the MSM says: Take the shirt off, Trump!

Great tweet, Patrick!

[SCVDem]

27. Physically speaking,

Obama is to Putin

while

Trump is to Yeltsin.

Who are the stronger leaders?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

28. Transmission garbled. Would you please resend that? (Kidding. I got it.) NT

[IronLionZion]

32. Every time I see that orange dotard I reach for veggies and fruit and do cardio

so he is somewhat of a motivator in that sense

[Honeycombe8]

35. Woo-Woo! Come to mama, Obama! (An example for us all.) nt

[Angry Dragon]

37. Trump has no problem comparing himself to Obama

so it is fair

[Dark n Stormy Knight]
