President Donald Trump has gushed over Republican Senator Jon Husted's body for a second time, saying that he is a "pile of muscle."
Speaking on Tuesday at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Trump said: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it—of course.
"But I looked at his ass, and then I looked at his legs. I said, 'his ass, s***, it's like, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs, and I said, 'man, his feet are big.' Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. He's like a piece of steel."
This is not the first time the president has spoken about Husted's body—he also admired it at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on October 12, while he was talking about Husted's football background.
"I looked, and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass, and I looked at the whole–and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these, like, claws," Trump said.
Husted was an All-American defensive back at the University of Dayton. He is currently locked in a tight battle against Democrat Sherrod Brown in the Ohio Senate election in November. The seat is rated as a “toss-up” by the Cook Political Report.
