'Please refrain': Internet erupts as Trump 'threatens to take his shirt off' during speech
Donald Trump on Saturday was accused of playing the ultimate victim after he claimed that, if he took his shirt off, it would reveal a "beautiful" body with more wounds than any president in history.
Trump was giving the keynote address for the Faith and Freedom Coalition's "Road to Majority" in Washington, D.C., where he also denied his past stories were rambling and suggested the creation of a "migrant league of fighters" in the U.F.C.
In that same speech, the former president made the claim about his body and wounds.

"I have wounds all over my body," Trump said to the religious organization. "If I took this shirt off, you'd see a beautiful, beautiful person but you'd see wounds all over me."
"I've taken a lot of wounds. More than any president ever," the ex-president added.
Social media users were quick to react to Trump's remarks.
Khashoggi's Ghost said, "This one might be true."
"Dementia patients often take a lot of falls and are prone to injuring themselves," the user added.
@JonyIveParody said, "*Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy have entered the chat.*"
Democrat Harry Sisson said, "Donald Trump just talked about taking his shirt off during his speech in DC today. I think I speak for all Americans when I say please DO NOT DO THAT. Nobody needs or wants to see that. Please refrain. This is the Republican nominee, folks."
Former Michigan Republican operative Jeff Timmer chimed in:
"If Trump took off his shirt what you’d most likely see is Lindsey Graham trying to nurse."
Retire NBC executive Mike Sington said, "Psychopath Trump threatens to take his shirt off to show you his 'wounds.' Says he’s been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated."
