Donald Trump managed to diss and weight-shame hackers during Monday’s presidential debate. And many people promptly took to Twitter to correct him.
Hillary Clinton mentioned the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s servers, citing intelligence officials’ “high confidence” that Russia was involved.
“She’s saying Russia, Russia, Russia. But I don’t—maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,” Trump said in response. “You don’t know who broke into DNC.”
Donald just dissed hackers, talking about people in their bedrooms weighing 400 pounds. That might backfire on him.

Trump: The hackers "Might be a 400-pound person sitting in bed…Might be. Some of the greatest hackers of all time.""

"Sitting on their bed weighing 400 pounds" -Trump talking about hackers.
It's funny how people still think all nerds are fat and lazy…

Trump says hackers are "some 400lb people in their beds." His portrait of "nerds" proves he knows little of who hackers are or what they do.
