If anyone else other than Trump did anything wrong it was like the world was ending. When it's Trump everyone has kid gloves on.

Obama wore a tan suit once and the Fox News goons had aneurysms for a solid week

He was an out of touch coastal elite because he likes brown mustard instead of yellow mustard.

Another time, he wasn’t masculine enough to lead the country because he wore a bicycle helmet

coastal elite

Sidebar; Notice how the right entirely stopped using that term once they elected one (Trump)? Funny isn't it.

No they use it. They are immune to the hypocrisy.

You just don't get it, the draft dodger born with a silver spoon who lived in a gold plated New York high-rise doesn't count as a coastal elite because reasons.

They actually didn't for quite some time. Hearing Tucker Carlson call the Coastal Elites out was really funny, considering who he is.

Remember, they called Obama a celebrity because he was very popular, and people wanted to take pictures with him, and that was apparently a bad thing.

But a literal celebrity who was on TV for years is "different."

Pretty funny because I don’t care how big the Great Lakes are, Chicago is not on the coast.
