Cheato just called Christie a fat pig and said he was probably somewhere eating. Okay, disgusting fat shaming. But does he not own a mirror? And the audience of cult members, the majority of whom probably are not svelte, laughing like hyenas? Wow,
, how low their discourse has become. Besides pettiness, cruelty, and projection what does this party offer?

He attacked Miss Universe Alicia Machado:

And Trump has been making fat jokes about Chris Christie for some time now. This is from two months ago:

Nancy Pelosi went after him for his attacks, particularly those against women:

It really is amazing, all these attacks coming from the same guy who lied about his height and weight in order to put himself just outside the medical criteria for obesity. And has the guy even looked at any of his supporters lately? There's a reason his opponents keep making up all those bon mots: Gravy Seals, Delta Forks Brigade, Meal Team Six, Custard's Last Stand, Traitor Tots, Waffle SS, ...

(43,789 posts)First he looks unfamiliar with the subject. Like...oh yeah, that guy.
Then he acts amused.
(And he probably is because he doesn't pay any attention to the fool.)
Then he considers a response, which is some lighthearted brush-off of the whole topic.
Next question?

(3,247 posts)...Jon McNaughton, love to depict Trump in various idealized guises. Trump invariably appears either as a Biblical or secular hero (e.g. David, George Washington) or in Garrison's infamous "Trump fantasy physique"--100 pounds lighter and 40 years younger. I've even seen Trump photoshopped onto a Rambo-like body.
