(21,980 posts)He'll insult anybody, but he goes after women for their appearance more than anything else, especially those who don't meet his personal standards for female attractiveness. I think it says a lot about how he sees women. To him, women exist to be decorative and to cater to the needs and desires of men, period. Any woman who asks him a question he doesn't like is falling down on the catering to his needs part, and very few women who haven't had a ton of plastic surgery are able to measure up in the personal attractiveness area. A woman who asks him a question he doesn't like or challenges him in any way AND doesn't look the way he thinks women should look will quickly find herself in the doghouse with him (pun intended). I suspect projection plays a major role as well. Underneath all the bluster, he is extremely insecure, and a fat man calling a woman "piggy" screams insecurity to me.
The only physical trait I can recall him mocking non-disabled men for is being short (as he defines that). Michael Wolff has said that he has a thing about being the tallest guy in the room and that one of the things he hates about Comey is his towering 6'8' height. Trump likes to use his size to intimidate people, and he can't do that with a man who towers over him, lol. With men who are shorter than him, he can lord it over them and call them names like "Little Marco."
The closest thing I can recall to him insulting a man for his weight is saying JB Pritzker needed to "hit the gym" (more obvious projection and hilarious coming from a guy who probably hasn't set foot in a gym since his high school p.e. classes).
If he has ever mocked any aspect of a man's appearance other than height or weight, I must have missed it and would like to be filled in!
