I never understood how he got essentially a pass for that. The dude has the same body type Big Chungus does.
he's a man in a position of power
and for him in particular, nothing he says or does lasts
everyone just forgets next week and sits on their hands pretending everything is fine and normal
and insinuating that women who he doesnt like have had botched plastic surgeries.
As a fat person 'obese' is fine. It's the reality of the situation. I can't ignore it, I don't expect others to.
You're okay with another person calling you obese? I can call you obese? Random people on the street can call you obese?
I have a hard time believing that as someone who spent their whole life struggling with weight until recently.
yes because it's the literal term. I've constantly had to glide from being borderline obese all the way to morbidly obese depending on how depressed I am. I'd rather someone call me obese which is the correct term rather than fat, fatty, etc.
And even more, let's not ignore context. If someone pulled me to the side on something likely to cause a heart attack because I'm obese and I'm not aware of how strenuous and risky it could be, I'd appreciate it. Donald Trump will be triggered because of his vanity not because it's something bad to tell someone.
Do you believe the average person uses "obese" literally or as a pejorative?
Wait, so now we get on Pelosi's case about decorum, when these type of concerns are absent whenever we have a thread dominated by: Making fun of Chris Christie's weight, Laughing at how Lindsey Graham is still supposedly closeted, Pleading Obama to resort to name-calling Trump?
Honestly feels like a bunch of the "sick burn, do something actually helpful now" comments are people who were never fans of Pelosi, finding another avenue to get their jabs in like usual.
Edit: I mean, this forum has already normalized "President Fuckface" in thread titles, and now y'all wanna be offended? lol

You know I want nothing but the best for him, I think the only safe thing for the country and his health is to double the dose maybe even triple it. You can never have too much of that stuff.
when I hear it from my doctor, I assume quite literally. When I hear it from friends, I assume quite literally. When I hear it from work colleagues, I assume it quite literally. Why? Because most of the time, it's gonna be to warn me not to do something risky.
What a bizarre thread. Pelosi takes an incredibly light shot (and I struggle to even call it a shot) at a dude who has spent the last five years thinking up drastically more offensive names for dozens of people, and we're pearl clutching?
You've asked this dude the same question twice, and he's answered you twice. What argument are you trying to win?
You're right, except the other side doesn't complain about fat shaming. This is a liberal concept. Hard to imagine them using it as ammo.
They don't like us to call him orange though.
Popping pills when not sick. Whatever could go wrong. Expecially with a drug that hasn't been proven to work.
It's no different from someone calling me white, male, bald, right-handed etc. They're all just 100% correct descriptors of me as person, obese included. I've been fat my whole life and i've heard every insult in the book. The acknowledgment that I have a high BMI in no way insulting. If someone wants to insult my weight they aren't gonna use the term 'obese'.
Someone walking up to on the street and saying "hey Mr. Obese" is not the same as someone saying "you shouldn't take that dangerous medication off-label because you're in your 70s and obese".
This fucker is why my monthly perscription for hydroxychloroquine was 350% more than usual because I had to get name brand because he's convinced people that they need it and usage has gone up 800%
His officially released Height and Weight put him something like 2lbs away from the medical definition of obese. And I personally don't believe those official numbers at all. I think Trump is certainly in the official medical obese category.
Given that the medical definition of being morbidly obese is smaller than most people think. You only need to have a BMI of 35 with underling conditions, or a BMI of 40 without any conditions to be officially morbidly obese. I would be SHOCKED if Trump didn't meet that criteria as well.
No, it's not. But when the President is literally tweeting that he's drinking a lethal substance, and that might cause his millions of followers to do the same, I think it's fine to make fun of him.
I imagine the common person is more likely to use fat as a pejorative than obese.
and it's not really even making fun of him(at least not for his weight). She's stating it be absurd for him to take it for no reason as he's in a high risk group. Mentioning he's in the high risk group is enough to trigger him because of his vanity and need to be deified.
The average person doesn't even know where the line is drawn for obese. They're not going to use it as an insult for someone who is actually obese because they wouldn't think the person is obese.
Really it's not even Pelosi's statement that I think is the worst part (although I can't say I'm a fan of it) is that it's just a chorus of people in this thread going "haha got 'em," or making jokes about him eating too much, clearly relishing in mocking the concept of fatness. It's messed up even if it's Trump. But I'm used to that.
Isn't the more cogent question, how would she feel?
Here are some statements that hopefully put this in the proper context, because your question lacks it.
Let's be honest, Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Trump is morbidly obese by the medical definition.
Morbidly obese people tend to have more health problems as the result of their weight.
Morbidly obese people that supposedly take medication against doctor's wishes are liable to have increased risk of health issues.
These are all things that are relevant that you are leaving out in your hypothetical.
Some people in this thread are acting like she called him a fatass pig or something I don't get it.
Also don't see the reason why people feel the need to protect Trump's fragile ego because he'll certainly be doing it himself for the next three weeks.

I've gotta say waking up and witnessing America's next political drama is always funny. I feel for you guys I do.
Pointing out the fact someone is fat isn't fat shaming. In a medical sense he is classed as obese and the entire sentence was framed about the drugs effects on age and weight.
This is closer to concern trolling. I can't wait for trump to finish his egg McMuffin and see this.

Pelosi will be recognized as a genius if he starts taking higher doses from now on just in spite.
User Warned: Body shaming
LMAO he's going to go on a tweet storm
Edit: what in the actual fuck at this thread, I can't believe there's so many people defending his fat ass when he has said worse about a bunch of women.

Trump has made fun of people for being fat, so he's fair game (and cuz he's trash so who cares). So weird that people are jumping to defend him.
Whats crazy is she didnt even call him fat, she said hes at risk cuz hes obese. She listed a risk factor of the drug that he happens to have.
