The
number is quantifiable, sure. But the value judgment --- to wt in this case "Miss Piggy" --- is not.
Again... left brain versus right brain, i.e. dry facts versus
emotion.
Rump, you'll have to agree, runs
entirely on the latter.
Again, to wit:
- "They're rapists"....
- I like people who weren't captured...."
- "They're laughing at us".....
- "Make America great again"....
- "Blood coming out of her ... Wherever"....
- "Little Marco".... "Ted's wife".... all that....
Well, you know --- too numerous to mention.

Not sure what that's supposed to link to --- I've learned to not trust USMB's permalinks. When I click it goes to post 23.
But scroll down to the next post (24) to see exactly what this is all about.
Meanwhile, back at the topic ranch:
>> The would-be commander in chief — whose own health records would indicate
he is overweight — has long made clear his preferences in body types. He has repeatedly referred to former co-host of “The View” Rosie O’Donnell as a
“big fat pig,” and during Monday night’s debate he affirmed, “I said tough things to her and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.”
Last year he despaired that supermodel Heidi Klum is
“sadly, no longer a 10.” He doesn’t limit his disgust to just women, either — in 2015, after he had a man kicked out of a rally in Massachusetts,
he told the crowd, “You know, it’s amazing. I mention food stamps and that guy who’s seriously overweight went crazy.” And Monday night, he
envisioned a potential hacker as “somebody sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds, OK?”
In contrast, he’s famously supportive of those who conform to his ideal body mass index, saying several years ago of his child,
“She does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” << ---

It occurs to me, just to play devil's advocate (in other words in Rump's sort-of defense) that even this Machado affair is not necessarily indicative of misogyny per se, at least not
directly. It could be that, being an owner of the meat market, Rump is simply so callous and heartless that he saw Machado not as a human but as an
investment, an investment to which he saw a threat by the weight gain (which of course, like the meat market itself, depends on objectifying women in the first place). Therefore with a threat to his
profit, and seeing no humanity in the "investment", he denigrates the investment on the same dehumanized scale he would denigrate, say, a flood that washed one of his golf courses away.
As I noted elsewhere --- Rump has no heart. He doesn't need one.... he simply has blood coming out of his Wherever.
