Ain’t it the truth, though?

It’s not just Anderson Cooper. I’m active on Twitter these days promoting stories, and I can’t begin to count how often people I engage with make cutting remarks about Trump and other politicians based on their weight.

Sometimes people tag me and want me to retweet them. But I can’t. If I say I’d rather not judge a person based on their weight, I get accused of scolding or hectoring.

People really think it’s okay to call Trump a fat f***.

But it’s not okay. It’s not.
