Trump might look fat but he doesn't weigh much - actually he's 99% hot air.
"Fat" means high body fat percentage, not just "weighs a lot".
People with lots of muscle are categorized as obese with the regular BMI formulas, but that obviously doesn't apply to them.
The choices are not just “telling them that everything is fine” and straight-up body shaming. You can point out to someone that they have a problem without saying that they’re a “fat fuck”.
And about my friend, I’ve definitely heard people call him fat, or others be surprised when he says he goes to the gym. He’s not the ripped/bodyguard type, and that’s enough for “assumptions” apparently.
Is it so hard to just not make fun of people for their physical appearance? Like, if they deserve it there’s probably already something else about their personality to make fun of.
I think we need to chill on the asshole shaming. You could hurt my wittle feelings.
Weight is one of those things that most people can largely change about themselves. I agree it's a lot harder to regulate your weight when you have conditions that reduce your mobility and make you burn far fewer calories like ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, but the basic principles of thermodynamics still apply.
Trump isn't one of those people with a debilitating condition other than his age. He's genuinely an unpleasant glutton who lives on a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke.
Maybe he can't do anything about him being fat, but he absolutely could stop being a fuck.
