    This is a totally fair point, and I’d normally be 100% with you on it. The only point I’d offer here, is that this is a man, and a cabal, that are cruel. Marketed as cruel, openly cruel and deliberately cruel. If during his campaign, he’d said, “yeah, I’m elderly. I might have problems that you younger ones are yet to face”. Instead of the constant strongman posturing, I might have more sympathy.

    As it is, it’s like the bully being exposed for how pathetic they really are. It’s maybe not nice to laugh at the pathetic bully, but maybe you can see why people would do it.

      No you see the logic with not body shaming people is that you’re ridiculing them for something outside of their control and also unintentionally making fun of random people who also have whatever trait you’re making fun of

      you can see why people would do it

      I mean yeah I said I think people have a natural propensity to make fun of others, at least people that they dislike. I’m not against making fun of trump for shitting himself
