Former President Donald Trump urged his female supporters to tell their “fat pig” husbands to get off the couch and vote for him early in the election.
Speaking at a rally in Detroit in the key swing state of Michigan on Friday, the former president jokingly suggested how women should convince their husbands to ensure he does not lose the upcoming race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump made the remarks as early voting begins in Detroit this weekend before being expanded to the rest of Michigan on October 26. Early and mail-in voters have historically favored Democratic candidates in presidential elections.
“Early voting is underway, so get everyone you know and go out and vote, go tomorrow it’s just starting,” Trump told the Detroit crowd towards the end of the rally.
“Go and vote. Make sure you vote and bring all our friends that want to vote for us. Tell them, ‘Jill. Get your fat husband off the couch. Get that—get that fat pig off the couch. Tell him to go and vote for Trump. He’s going to save our country.’
“Get him up, Jill. Slap him around. Get him up! Get him up, Jill. We want him off the couch to get out and vote,” Trump added.
