Slurs against short men are vile.

So it seems like a valid attempt to explain his behavior. Maybe not accurate, but not vile, IMO.

Some DU'ers: "When they go low, we go high!" F6ck No!!! We're supposed to be all huggy and feely. We need to kick them in the teeth every way we can. Repeatedly! 💪🔵🔵🔵🔵💯

Attack him for his soul, not his genetics.

(8,445 posts)8. I sorta agree with this
However, we make "fat jokes" about Trump. I am only 5'8 so short, and I'm not offended. I don't think the posters bashing his height would have said anything if not for the scumbag this man is. A short man who does great things would be treated with respect here.

(20,558 posts)9. I've seen sneers about height here before
It's an insult that's accepted on DU, and it shouldn't be.
