4. But the Napoleon Complex is a recognized thing, and this fellow is shorter than average.

So it seems like a valid attempt to explain his behavior. Maybe not accurate, but not vile, IMO.

Some DU'ers: "When they go low, we go high!" F6ck No!!! We're supposed to be all huggy and feely. We need to kick them in the teeth every way we can. Repeatedly! 💪🔵🔵🔵🔵💯

However, we make "fat jokes" about Trump. I am only 5'8 so short, and I'm not offended. I don't think the posters bashing his height would have said anything if not for the scumbag this man is. A short man who does great things would be treated with respect here.

It's an insult that's accepted on DU, and it shouldn't be.
