FWIW, I wasn't talking about Fringe Media, I was referring to mainstream media and political opponents. 

OK, fair enough. You did say "folks" though. There's quite a lot of folks around doing these things.
Breitbart, a site which I can't quite believe you'd be unaware of for even most folks in my country know about them, isn't just fringe media to me, but a symptom. Now coming to Europe btw. to fuel our own alt-right and alt-reality Putin fans. You heard about a guy named "Steve Bannon" once, right? But whatever.

In general, I don't know if the mainstream media mocks Trump's appearance that much. With exceptions for sure. When he starts to shame women because of their appearance (which he frequently did, calling them unattractive and ugly and whatnot), some guest commentaries I heard countered by saying he's not that sexually attractive either. I think that's not ideal, but it's fair game. Making this kind of judgements cannot be his sole privilege.
Similarly, I don't see a scandal when people mock his hands or skin tone or whatever, since he does the very same things (little Marco, sweating like a spilled waterbottle and these things) and I have a hard time holding everyone else to a higher standard than the US president.

And lastly, I don't know if there's really something wrong with his hands, I might have made fun of it for the sole reason that Trump himself seems to be so ultra-sensitive about them. [That one I borrowed from John Oliver, but I feel the same]
