So some "art" group a few days ago went and put up some statues of Donald Trump in various major cities around the country, these cities portraying Trump as naked. His body is portrayed as being utterly grotesque and his penis is of course portrayed as incredibly small and I think no testicles.
But I have to say that I agree with those who point out that the group, in their hatred for Trump, have essentially engaged in one of the things that the Left in particular is supposed to be against, which is body shaming. Basically they're knocking on Trump for his physical appearance instead of his political views. Criticizing him for his political views is fine, but body shaming like this is bad, as there are plenty of other people that said Trump haters like and think are decent who also would not be anything special to look at.
One also has to wonder at the hypocrisy here, because if such statues had been produced of say Hillary Clinton, would the media response have been so light-hearted? Or that of the NYC Parks Commission? We probably instead would have seen a tsunami of negative criticism towards the group that created said hypothetical statues, with criticism leveled with regards to sexism and body shaming.
