Is Trump usually surrounded by innocent people though?

It's okay to ridicule the spray tan however, have at it

Presumably when he goes to Quiznos it's not always on Theocracy Tuesdays

real warm grandpa (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 16:38 (six months ago) link

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

oh, you could sell your little golf course for a billion dollars to a rich saudi guy? do it, man

Re-elect him and he certainly will

look I agree the fat jokes are probably in bad taste but this dude did list himself at 215, I mean come on if you could make an exception for anyone

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.

they’re not really “jokes” though, they’re just like annoying witticisms or something

they’re like bill Maher “jokes”

Trump being large isn't funny, but Trump claiming to be 215 lbs is pretty funny

I guess as long as Republicans promise not to tell any jokes about President Pritzker...

Trump's posture is his funniest physical characteristic. Constantly leaning into the headwinds of life

papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 18:58 (six months ago) link

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.

henry s, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 19:08 (six months ago) link

right but it's all made a lot funnier by the fact that he's a giant lunk

frogbs, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 19:25 (six months ago) link

Dude has attacked many people by how they look etc, that kinda makes him fair game.

Bullies really only understand a punch in the nose.

earlnash, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 20:26 (six months ago) link

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.

^^^^ he's a self-created monster

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 20:30 (six months ago) link

the 1 billion dollar bill should have his face on it - he'd never get to see it though

StanM, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 20:30 (six months ago) link

It's the look of winky smarm mixed with unflattering vitriol, profuse sweat, ill fitting clothing and desperate insecurity

xxxxp
he's definitely not reading this though, is he? whereas there are people reading this that find that kind of speak hurtful.

We've talked about him being mentally ill, addicted to substances, old. We've shamed his parenting.

I did say that he should die choking on Putin's cock. Nobody seemed to mind though, I'm assuming because it was more about his exile & death than it was about homoeroticism.

What parenting? The only love he's shown for his children has been of the very unwholesome and inappropriate variety.

Prop Dramedy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 21:20 (six months ago) link

BrianB kudos to you for like deliberately not reading what the actual criticism was like three times now.

anyways calzino is otm with this

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)

Also now you’re kink shaming

Aw, it's not that bad.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 22:36 (six months ago) link

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.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 22:58 (six months ago) link

Also, you cannot seriously be making arguments about your own conduct by pointing to what Trump does.

The man is a racist, a rapist, and every flavor of horrible in between.

A criminal, a con man, an authoritarian, a cancer in the body politic.

trump's struggles with his weight is the most humanizing and relatable thing about him.
