...people I don't love who make "fun" of my weight, but I couldn't care less, since they don't matter to me.

I live by Eleanor Roosevelt's advice, which is: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

It depends on one's outlook. I am aware of the consequences of my weight, and I am psychologically strong enough to turn intended negative comments into positives, the positive being a reminder that being fat, which I am, is not good for me.

If someone attempts to insult me because of my weight, and I'm not insulted at all, they, and not me, lose power.

As far as this relates to Trump and the opening post, he is a very vain person engaged in mockery. If it shows him up for his lack of psychological health, I have no problem with that.

A physical description of him, and a physical description of me would not be entirely different. But I'm not claiming to be some kind of paradigm of health and he is.

He's fragile and I'm not.

OK?
