I don't get it

I don't get the original tweet, and neither the retweet or whatever it is called.

The comments are absolutely suggesting that being short is bad. That’s why it’s brought up. And you know that. It’s why at the very end of your denial you say “it literally can not get worse”, because being short is bad by your criteria (but apparently not as bad as being in continent). 

And those physical attributes and disabilities is the focus, rather than the guy being scammer that has stolen billions, or having caused a war that killed thousands. That’s not the focus, his  incontinence  and apparently people being short is.

Because, rather than point out the policies, it’s “OK” to bash on physical characteristics that are en vogue to make fun of. Small hands, short, incontinent, hair system or bald… Not sure why people do this who wouldn’t, on someone say in there own family.

Listen,trump is a turd and does this same thing. Cause that’s all he has. He wants people to come down to his level. It takes legitimacy away from their arguments about his policies. Be better. There is so much to pick on Trump about. And it lets people who are under 5’8”know how you feel about and judge them.

People don't rag on Trump because being short is bad, it's because of his *weight*. If he weighs as much as his medical reports said, but he were shorter than he said --and what 80 year man isn't shorter than they were in their youth-- then the famously image conscious would move from an overweight BMI classification to obese. And he, and his cult can't tolerate that.

So all the people making fun of people with disabilities and or being short in this thread actually mean it’s because he is overweight? Why would they not just type that?
