Not a hypocrite

[supergee]

I am an old man whose hands shake and who has trouble going down stairs. I am a short-fingered vulgarian who is liable to type things like “covfefe.” I was a draft dodger, although I did two years of national service (VISTA) because I couldn’t afford bone spurs.

I therefore do not rag on Trump for any of those issues, but I still can find many things to get on his case about.

But I suspect I know why you dodged the draft and there's all the difference in the world and that's coming from a squaddy's daughter!

Yeah, I dislike the practice of makeing fun of someone for their physical characteristics rather than their defects of character. I don't care what size Trump's hands are, I care what terrible executive orders he signs with them.

And I have bone spurs in my heels and they have caused a lot of pain and difficulty in my life and I haven't felt OK complaining about them for the last 4 years, and not complaining is against my Jewish birthright, dammit! I've hated all the body shaming of him as with anyone, and I never found fault with draft dodging before and haven't made him the exception.
