I think the idea is that making fun of the way people look isn’t ok because it makes negative associations for anyone who has similar traits. It hurts more than just the intended recipient. There are plenty of ways to make fun of Trump without making fun of his body.
I agree with you in general, with the following caveats:
Fuck that guy. He’s a rapist and a fraud. He makes fun of disabled reporters. He calls dead veterans losers. He has lost the privilege of my sympathy.
Nobody else actually cares about the size of his hands. In fact, they’re probably a normal size. It’s Trump who has this weird narcissistic, dysmorphic obsession with his hands. So we’re not laughing at the way he looks, just his psychological problems. Maybe that’s worse, but I don’t care because (1).
Yeah, 2 is the main point. We’re not mocking him for the size of his hands, we’re mocking his insecurity about them. Nobody besides him actually cares how big his hands are, nor does anyone really care how big anyone else’s hands are.
Narcissistic is an ancient Greek slur for asexual people. Trump isn’t asexual, so he’s not narcissistic. Although even if someone is using the insult correctly, I still consider them a queerphobe.
Yes, and the difference is that personality disorders are lifelong disabilities just like being deaf or quadriplegic, while mental illnesses are curable maladies more like the common cold.
Being deaf is definitely not a personality disorder. If we can’t agree on that then we can’t go anywhere from here. Personality disorders aren’t disabilities. You can’t get any medical exemptions for being a narcissist or borderline
Narcissists seem to be hiding under the guise of that being a slur so they don’t have to make the change to be better people
If someone says they’re “brutally honest” that’s just them being an asshole, but they won’t admit they’re an asshole because they don’t want to have to face their terrible personality and fix it. Personality, not disability
He’s a convicted felon and a rapist.

Sounds like something someone with Trump hands would say
Why are you being down voted, obvious funny sarcasm
I omitted the “/s” because this isn’t Reddit and being downvoted is my fetish

If he has psychological problems it would kind of follow that those would be the cause of number 1, right?

Good thing we don’t live in ancient Greek
And in the modern day, it’s a slur for people with NPD, a mental disability
But NPD is a personality disorder, not a mental illness

I think that making fun of Trump in the way that would hurt him the most is cathartic.
He’s a narcissist who goes out of his way to hide how disgusting he looks. I want him to hurt.
Trump isn’t asexual.
