Fox News Panel Calls Out Jelly Roll's Disrespectful Jokes About President Trump

Fox News commentators on 'The Big Weekend Show' devoted a segment on Saturday to addressing rapper Jelly Roll’s recent appearance as guest host on 'Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!', where he targeted President Donald Trump with tasteless jokes about his weight. The panel highlighted a joke in which Jelly Roll said, 'We shouldn’t be making fun of the president for his weight because we know that he would never do that to other people,' before airing a montage of Trump’s remarks, which the left frequently misrepresents.

Tomi Lahren pointed out, 'I liked him better when he was fat. I liked him better; I thought he was nicer,' while guest Marc Siegel noted the blatant double standard, stating that fat-shaming is apparently acceptable for Democrats. Siegel also remarked that President Trump could easily beat Jelly Roll in golf, regardless of weight, and added, 'I like the fatter, funnier Jelly Roll.'

Jelly Roll, who has publicly discussed his own weight-loss journey, told the audience that physical fitness is important and suggested the president could benefit from losing weight. The Fox News discussion reflected justified criticism from conservative commentators, and a Florida congressman reportedly said he would prohibit the rapper from performing in his district—a reasonable response to disrespectful behavior. Jelly Roll had previously been assumed to support Trump after meeting the president-elect at a UFC event in November 2024, but his recent actions show the fickleness of celebrity loyalty.
