I think it's actually intentional because a thing asshats are trying is to make fun of how he isn't muscular.

... because you know... Lifting weights has so much to do with being Mayor...

    The weirdest thing about this is given his build he could still be much more physically fit than 2/3 of his detractors. Natural muscle is not as prominent as modern media has made it out to appear and to be as crazy built as some folks look you simply have to use extra supplements and push your body far further than is actually necessary for any kind of day to day life. You can be skinny and still perfectly strong and healthy

    I bike about 100 miles a week, and every bike ride I stop at the outdoor fitness area for some water and do a few pullups to even put my build a little. I'm skinny and lanky as fuck and honestly built pretty similar to him

    I suspect many people can't even get to what the media says is "physically fit" without completely giving up any life or doing roids...

    Movies and TV have in recent decades really leaned heavily into a level of muscle that isn't possible for the average person to attain without performance enhancements. This combined with gymfluencers who take performance enhancers and people who's hobby is lifting so they spend many hours a week at the gym plus average people not having the time or money for the gym makes a perfect storm of most people not knowing what a healthy amount of muscle or a healthy build looks like

    Oh and expectations have always been for women to be overly thin so far too many women are led to feel that their healthy weight isn't skinny enough
