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

Of all the ridiculousness from Fox over the years, that's the one that made me spit out my coffee in shock. What the actual hell.

My favorite was when he was at some hotdog or burger joint shaking hands and asked "do you have a spicy mustard, like a Dijon mustard?" I'm not a fan of Dijon mustard myself but I don't think it makes someone an elitist or that it was worth several fox segment calling him the "pupon President."

Yeah, Dijon is not some elitist condiment. You can buy it at Kroger right next to all the other mustards. I'm more of a horseradish mustard guy myself, but it's not a big deal.
