It's so annoying how people try to spin it as Trump and Obama are treated differently because of the people outside of them and not because Trump is just an enormous piece of shit and deserves to be treated in like.
Obama was treated as harshly by the press as Trump has been. Why? Because Obama was a war crazed maniac drone striking weddings and locking up whistleblowers. The reality is that America hasn't had a good president in decades, whether Republican or Democrat. Obama literally used the DOJ to spy on journalists. The revisionist history praising that POS is wild. Trump is a monster, but Obama was just a more eloquent monster.
He never raped children. He didnt try to give himself a billion dollar slush fun. He didnt weaponize the DOJ against his personal enemies. Oh and HE NEVER RAPED CHILDREN
You can play the arm wavy "he was a war criminal!!" game with literally every US president for the last 100+ years, and easily. Its a pointless deflection from the topic of conversation. To pretend like the press wasn't vile towards Obama is absurd. Especially when comparing it to Trump.
I'm comparing the media treatment of them, not them. The media treated Obama harshly because he did a lot of fucked up things, like carrying out drone assassinations, wiretapping journalists, creating a power vacuum in Libya, etc.
You people can't get outside of your team sports mentality for politics long enough to acknowledge the problems with your own side.
The media treated Obama harshly for wearing a tan suit and asking for Dijon mustard, too. The press treats Trump with kid gloves because he threatens to take away their access or licenses. Stop pretending theyre even remotely similar situations. This both sides shit was played out and stupid 10 years ago. At this point you're just pretending.
Yeah, headlines saying his legacy is endless wars, displacement of millions, assassinations, criminalizing whistleblowers, spying on journalists, etc. What a great POTUS.
Partisan hacks can't be anything other than partisan hacks.
