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

Remember that time Bush got us into two wars because of 9/11, but it wasn’t until Obama that the guy who caused it was killed. I member. Turns out the Republicans didn’t care about justice, they just cared about using the crisis to make some oil money for their VP and President.

I remember the moment he announced Bin Laden's death. Dad and I were just watching the news like"welp, he just got 4 more years."

Bush got 4 years just for waving a loudspeaker around a disaster site and promising to get revenge. It isn’t hard to get re-elected unless you’re either mismanaging a pandemic or old as shit. 

Edit: oh and for coasting on Bill Clinton’s economy and government surplus for a few years before the economy crashed. Kind of like Trump coasting on Obama’s stable economy too. Wait. I see a pattern here.

Whoa there. You can be old as shit as long as you're orange. It's a special qualifier.

I wish I was joking.
