supposedly the only thing he hates hearing about himself is that he's not nearly as wealthy as he claims
which is funny because it's true, he's made terrible choices with money every step of the way and all the numbers are imaginary

The Saudis gave a billion dollars to his worthless bad-at-business son-in-law when the Trumps were out of office, the guy probably could get MBS to pay him hundreds of millions for swampland.

Plus the hair, the tan, the hands, the ties. You could write a dissertation on the way he presents himself to the world and weight wouldn't even be a footnote.

Trump was not a bad looking guy in his younger days, and he would be a perfectly adequate looking old dude if he hadn't devoted so much energy to becoming a burnt sienna grotesquerie with unkempt candy floss hair and a suppurating asshole for a mouth. If you wanna criticize his physicality, it's super easy to train all of your focus on the shit he actively does to make himself monstrous as part of his personal brand without ever even touching on stuff like his weight.

It's not really any different from telling a 'fat joke' and having a friend with obesity walk by and be hurt and you saying "oh I wasn't talking about YOU".
the 'being fat' is the joke and is, as such, punching down. making fun of Trump for lying about his weight seems to be more mocking him for lying about everything, even unimportant things, than the actual being fat. possibly borderline but at least I understand that better than 'hur hur when Trump sits around the house..." jokes.
(not saying I haven't ever been guilty of it either, but trying to be more mindful)

Fatshaming Trump seems pointless when we have a horrifying description of his penis as part of the public record.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 22:43 (six months ago) link
The feelings of people saying that they are personally ok with fatphobic comments are not relevant, as it is changing the context and perspective.
Multiple people have said this makes them feel bad. Any decent person would drop it at that point. It's not weird at all to point out that fatphobia is not cool.
― felicity, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 22:55 (six months ago) link
Pointing out that Trump is hypocritical about fatshaming others is low-hanging fruit.
