Most certainly NOT close. Sorry.
You’re not an asshole, you’re just wrong on this one, friend
<frank booth>
Nizoral? Fuck that shit! Finasteride!

Nope. Can’t shame the shameless, try harder!!
By the low road, do you mean projection? Much?
i mean, clearly the post is about you and your feelings, failings, and friends. Subject changed!
Come on, you can figure it out.
a hint?
"I have immunity from the Risen Jesus. And nobody beats the Riz! "
Ah. Thanks!
Thanks. You said it better than I would have.
Not sure if close or far from diagnosing.
Are you comparing Trump’s decision to craft his hair in the form of an unkempt terrier to transgender people getting sexual reassignment surgery?
Anyway Donald Trump body-shames people all the time. His appearance clearly isn’t the real problem with the man but it’s still fair game.
Is there no photoshoopery of him as bald? Let’s have a look…
They run a gamut, so they do.
Soon enough…
Dude, don’t you see how something like this would get more respect than that poor muppet you’ve taped on your noggin?
Last one…
He would actually look quite imposing with it off. He has a genuine gift for undermining his own charisma, such as it is.
I agree; at least he’d look like a COMPETENT supervillain in the model of Lex Luthor or Blofeld or Daddy Warbucks* instead of a walking punchline.

Anyone else see an old and plump Charlie Sheen in there?
It’s a reference to Hannibal. Cordell is Mason Verger’s caretaker.
I’m comparing the fact that if we find it morally acceptable to body shame people for having what we consider ‘unreasonable’ alterations of their body, we can’t get upset about others doing the same thing. Where is the dividing line of what is acceptable and what isn’t? Should we still stigmatize someone for getting breast implants? Would we stigmatize someone for hair transplants? Do we know why they are doing it? Does it matter if we understand the psychology of why we know or not.
In no way am I comparing his condition to anyone else’s. I am however stating that if we find it acceptable simply because he does it, or because he is an asshole, or because every single moral fiber of his body is wrong…then it opens the door of acceptablity to mocking others. Where is the line? Do we need an official psychologist’s diagnosis before we decide if it is wrong to mock someone for their looks? Again, where is the line.
And back to the point others have made, when the man has so many mockable flaws that don’t involve his looks? Flaws that are extremely dangerous to others? I’d hope we spend our time there. I just don’t want to give any ammunition to those that will say “Well the left mocked Trump, so we’ll just start mocking some marginalized population (any marginalized population)”. Honestly, I don’t think folks on the less enlightened side need an excuse, but it allows us to respond with a moral high ground.
Again, I’m not comparing X to Y, but the other side most certainly will. And if you can’t see this, you need to examine the world a little more.
I think it’s less about body shaming an ugly person, than it is pointing out his vanity and self-absorbed self-admiration is completely delusional. He’s not “the healthiest man ever”, he’s an obese slob no matter how much his doctors lie.
His hair isn’t “beautiful and natural”, it looks like a skinned rat.
We don’t hate on him for being ugly. We hate on him for being dishonest.
Probably the best “gotcha” moment an interviewer could pull on Trump would be to show him this clip and ask him about his hair. I’m not sure if he would go ballistic or craft some other grand lie to cover it all up, but I’m sure he would get upset and take it out on his staff later.
If a morbidly obese man regularly fat-shames women it’s not hypocritical to point out that he’s not exactly underwear-model material either.
If a nonagenarian calls a 65-year old a “wrinkled old cow” then it’s OK to point out that the name-caller isn’t a spring chicken themselves.
If a President regularly comes up with childish taunts to mock the appearance of others then there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that his self-imposed hairstyle looks absolutely ridiculous.
We point out those flaws literally EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s not like the only problem progressives have with the man is his haircut.
If this were how it was phrased, fine. I have just known folks with minor traumas that they will go to lengths to deny and folks mock horribly. Are there much bigger issues to worry about? Yup…and I want to make certain these stay well beyond the range of reproach. And keeping a moral high ground of not mocking someone’s appearance in any way allows us to do this.
Simply stating HE IS UGLY AND OLD, LOOK AT THAT OLD UGLY GUY without giving context…beyond that, it doesn’t take mocking to point out the hypocrisy.
