Is this just his moderate side coming out? Appeasing Republicans?

    Tangential (excuse the pun):

    One thing we can do better as opponents of Trump (or anyone else for that matter) is to not go for the low hanging fruit of things the man can’t change about himself. Like his hands. Or the alleged size of, well, you know.

    His fake tan or hair are better targets, at least he chooses that part of his appearance, but I’d like to think we can do better than that as well. A grey (or brown) area is his alleged incontinence which, if it’s real (and I really, really wouldn’t want to check that), it’s said he ultimately did it to himself. Could be a target, but also probably best avoided.

    Now. His policies. His wrong-thinking. Anything that might harm or put people in danger? Sure. Go nuts. Tear the man a new one.

    The low-hanging fruit does have the benefit of riling him and his less intelligent advocates, but as the man himself would do in a similar situation, those are the things to bring out at the end of an argument when you feel like you’re losing or at least not getting through a thick skull … metaphorically speaking. And preferably after they’ve already done the same.

      The hands nickname has upset more people than I would have thought, but do his hands even look tiny to you?

      I used it here as a reference for him because he doesn’t deserve a proper name, because of his constant body shaming toward others and his apparent insecurity toward his normal-sized hands.

      I still personally think equal treatment is more fair than protecting belligerents, but I have agreed to stop using cheeto’s hands nickname in this community at the request of other users here.
