Well, most of us, anyway.
Edited to add: I didn't see your post, so I can't give comment on it. I will say that I, personally, try to refrain from making negative comments on anyone's physical appearance or afflictions. I kinda cringe when someone calls McConnell a turtle. He can't help that. I can't stand him for many reasons, none of which have anything to do with the way he looks.
At the same time, -45's appearance is self-manufactured, so IMO it's fair game. His hair and his orange-ness are of his own doing. I wouldn't make fun of someone for being bald. It happens, and it's no big deal as far as I'm concerned. I wish nobody was ever dissatisfied with their natural skin tone. We humans are all naturally different hues. and they're all beautiful. Obesity is a big problem for many in this country. I try not to ridicule -45 for it, but when he ridicules others for it, it's a challenge to "go high".
-45 does open the door to criticisms about his appearance because of all of the offensive comments he makes about others, but I hate what he does way more than I hate how he looks.
