15. In most cases, I would agree with you.

However, don’t forget that Trump has publicly commented on and mocked other people’s appearances all his life, especially women. He has told beauty pageant contestants they are too fat, has fat shamed Rosie O’Donnell, has said he’s innocent of sexual assault charges against E. Jean Carroll because she’s too ugly to rape, insulted the physical appearance of Ted Cruz’s wife during his first presidential campaign, etc. He even mocked President Biden’s masked face during the recent campaign.

So if you adhere to the concept of “when they go low, we go high”, you’re correct, Trump’s physical appearance shouldn’t be discussed. But oh, it’s such fun to critique his looks on this forum, and he looks like an ugly, sagging Pillsbury doughboy.
