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

You guys remember "terrorist fist jab"? That one was the one that pissed me off the most.

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."

If you can get something for $1 in the Walmart store brand, it's not elitist.

Even the $1 was years ago I suppose when this all happened. We're already up to $1.52. I better start rationing.

You're clearly just lazy. Make it yourself. Just grow some mustard seeds in your backyard with your egg laying chickens. Then make your own vinegar and white wine. Plant some Tumeric...
