Olivia Wilde probably thought her liberal followers would love her calling Trump “Fatty McFatface,” but instead the actress was called out for “fat-shaming” the president.
“President Fatty McFatface is sadly as dangerous as he is humiliating,” Wilde tweeted on Monday.

Her tweet was soon attacked by progressives because she was “fat-shaming” or “body-shaming,” and many followers expressed that while they didn’t like Trump, Wilde shouldn’t make fun of his weight.
@oliviawilde Not a fan of his, however, saying that is just another form of bullying – body shaming. Really? Aren’t you better than that?

This is what it looks like when the left eats its own.
@oliviawilde Express your displeasure at his policies NOT his appearance. You are being a bully.

@oliviawilde I join you in your frustration with this man but can u move away from body shaming? It perpetuates fatphobia which hurts everyone.

Wilde chose to “correct” her tweet in response to the criticism, writing that “McPathologicallyStupidHorrifyinglySelfishCruelBovineMoronFace” is more accurate.
For those offended I called Trump “McFatface”… His open disdain for health is pretty disturbing, but there are def better nicknames.

McPathologicallyStupidHorrifyinglySelfishCruelBovineMoronFace is much more accurate. My bad.
