(63,435 posts)Mocking Trump for being fat or stupid or old or small-handed or ugly is no commentary on anyone but Trump, because at the end of the day we attack these traits of his because they are emblematic of his hypocrisy.
I don't mock him because he's fat--I mock him because he's fat AND he mocks others he perceives to be fat.
I don't mock him because he's stupid--I mock him because he's stupid AND he mocks others he perceives to be stupid.
I don't mock him because he's old--I mock him because he's old AND he mocks others he perceives to be old.
I don't mock him for being small-handed--I mock him because he's small-handed AND he mocks others for their perceived lack of virility.
I don't mock him for being ugly--I mock him because he's ugly AND he mocks others for their appearance.
Forgive me, but your question about Caitlyn Jenner misses the mark. I don't like her politics, but that's irrelevant to the fact that she's trans. However, if she mocked someone else for being trans while insisting that she herself is not, then I would attack her for her hypocrisy, just as I attack Trump for his.
