While speaking to a crowd gathered at the Southern New Hampshire University Arena in Manchester, Trump was interrupted by a handful of protesters seated near the rafters.

During the commotion, however, it seems the president mistook his supporter for one of the protesters and began insulting him on his looks, calling out, "That guy's got a serious weight problem. Go home. Start exercising. Get him out of here, please."
"Got a bigger problem than I do, got a bigger problem than all of us," Trump added.
The broad-shouldered man in question was later identified as Frank Dawson, a former police officer, Navy veteran and avid Trump fan.
Here is the heart-warming ending:
"He didn't see me rip the signs away from those three people sitting near us," Dawson told Fox News after the mixup. "I think he thought I was part of it but I wasn't — I was the good part of it."
"Everything's good. I love the guy," he said. "He's the best thing that ever happened to this country."
Later that night, the president called Dawson and left him a voicemail on his way to New Jersey aboard Air Force One, a White House official told ABC News.
Dawson confirmed the call to the outlet, saying Trump thanked him for his support and for his attendance at the rally in his message.
However, when asked if the president said he was sorry for the negative body comments, Dawson said, "No, why would he apologize?"
The last line really brings it home for me.
Mock my weight if old.
