Donald Trump Mocked by Critics After Saying He's Falling 'in Love' With Male Republican Senator Tim Scott: 'Kim Jong Un Is Going to Be Jealous'

Following a series of spicy comments about a male Republican’s physique and backside, President Donald Trump effused that he was falling "in love" with Republican Sen. Tim Scott during a campaign rally at the T. Ed Garrison Arena at Clemson University in South Carolina on Wednesday night, October 21.

While praising the 61-year-old South Carolina Senator on stage, Trump turned his attention to Scott and told the crowd, “And then you have a certain senator that I happen to… as much as I can fall in love with a man, which isn't that much, I fall in love with him. And his name happens to be Tim Scott. And he's great.”

The gushing comment about Scott quickly drew attention online.

“He’s got gaymentia,” one commenter quipped.

“Kim Jong Un is going to be jealous,” another noted, referencing the POTUS’ earlier platitudes toward the North Korean dictator.

In 2018, Trump famously used the exact phrase "fell in love" to describe his diplomatic breakthrough with the North Korean leader. At a September 2018 rally in West Virginia, Trump told the crowd, "I was really being tough. And so was he. And we'd go back and forth. And then we fell in love, okay? No, really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they're great letters. We fell in love."

Another social media sociologist noted that, “He’s always been g--. He’s laying the groundwork for when he leaves office in a couple of years. Prepare to see a flamboyant ex-president.”

“Donald G-- Trump,” added another.

“Appreciate the rare moments of LGBTQ allyship from Trump,” snarked another.

Earlier in February, Trump recounted a story at a press conference about an industry executive at a steel products factory.

He claimed that "a very powerful, strong man" who owned the business approached him and said, "President, I'd love to kiss you.”

These latest eyebrow-raising comments come after Trump repeatedly drew widespread media attention for delivering a series of highly detailed rants about the physical appearance and body of Ohio Sen. Jon Husted.

Trump said that former NFL coach Jon Gruden originally told him about Husted's background as an All-American defensive back at the University of Dayton. The 80-year-old POTUS told crowds he decided to "study" and "examine" Husted's physique to see if it was true.

He explicitly told audiences, "I looked at his a--, and then I looked at his legs," describing Husted's backside as being "like a pile of muscle."

The president then recounted tapping Husted on the shoulder, claiming, "It actually hurt my hand. It was like a piece of steel. I said, 'This guy's a monster.’”
