I'm fine with mocking Trump's appearance and eating habits just I was fine with cartoonish mocking of previous president's appearance and eating habits.

I'm not fine with photoshopping a picture to provide the basis for the mockery, even if the other side also did that. And to the extent that this discussion was prompted by the photo circulating of Trump with Abe on the golf course, it's been demonstrated that the photo was altered.

You've got my line on the issue.
