President Trump congratulated Maine Gov. Paul LePage on his recent weight loss during remarks at the Department of Interior on Wednesday.
“Gov. LePage of Maine, who by the way has lost a lot of weight. I knew him when he was heavy and now I know him when he’s thin. I like him both ways,” Trump said.

LePage underwent bariatric surgery in September after he faced the risk of developing diabetes if he didn’t lose weight.
In January, the Republican governor said he had lost 50 pounds.
