We went from The dignity of Obama to a continuum of white supremacy in less than a decade. Watching a celebration of joining a gentler for of white supremacist Trumpism rather than trying to eradicate it is tragic.

"This hierarchy of bodies is nothing new, with roots in racism, slavery and every other attempt to rank bodies. We can no longer pretend that being less likely to be hired or get promotions, being paid less, receiving biased medical treatment, being socially excluded and bullied are attempts to help people “be healthier.” These are the direct consequences of living in a culture that vilifies and fears fat bodies and that treats the people living in them as morally lesser beings."

Bloomberg is the same height as Vladimir Putin.

Please, some reporter, ask Trump if he considers Putin short.
