YES YES YES!!! I bring this up EVERYWHERE. Criticize his choices, do NOT attack his body. I brought it up at church and a couple of faces were like "ohhhhhh never thought of that". Like, if making fun of MY body isn't okay, neither is making fun of his. Thank you for this post!!

Thank you for this post! I've noticed a lot of people criticizing his body as an easy quick shot way to pick on him. And while I do not like him, his beliefs or policies, his body has nothing to do with it. As you mentioned, there are actual things worth discussing when it comes to Trump, but comments about him being fat simply reinforce "fat is bad" rhetoric. Despite that, I haven't heard many people speak up about this, and I had not seen the connection to MAHA either, so this discussion is much appreciated!

Trump is a horrible human being. I hate everything about him, except his body. His body is a completely neutral thing. Because of the way Trump insults other people, particularly women, it’s tempting to insult his body, but we can’t stoop to his level. We are not 8 year old playground bullies. He may be a child, but we need to be better than that. Our fat friends, families, co workers, and neighbors, are watching. When we insult his body, or our own bodies (I am guilty of this) we insult their bodies.
