That wasn't even the worst scandal of Obama'a presidency. He once ordered dijon mustard! The horror!

Say want you want about Trump crashing markets, being a felon and sexual assault perpetrator, being the worst president of all time by miles and a traitor to the United States and a million other terrible things, but at least he didn't ask for dijon /s

I am still confused about why this was ever an issue, due to the fact that dijon is far superior to yellow mustard.

It sounds fancy and foreign, like some kind of global elitist condiment.

It wasn't about the mustard, it was a subliminal dogwhistle to suggest that Obama isn't American to tie in with the birth certificate lies, and on top of that he isn't "a guy you could drink a beer with" because you'd offer him a hotdog with yellow mustard to go with his beer but he'd turn his nose up and ask for some fancy shit you can't even pronounce.
