In the minds of Trump voters, do they accept Trump's crimes and craven behavior because Clinton and

Obama did the same thing? Have they been so indoctrinated by Fox, right wing radio, and the entire conservative media eco-system during the Clinton and Obama years into believing every negative, falsehood about both president that to them Trump's crimes are not as bad or just the same?

IOW, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Travelgate, Lewinsky, Kenyan, Saul Alinksy, Bill Ayers, email server, Benghazi == Putin, collusion with Russia, p**y grabbing, emoluments clause, Charlottesville, separating children from parents, paying off porn stars for sex, etc.

Since everyone commits the same or similar crimes as Trump, they're going to support him like we did with Clinton and Obama. Is that what's going on here?

He was close associates with Saul Alinsky and a domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers. Also, he wasn't born here, but in Kenya.

Here's the scoop — or rather, the dollop. In May 2009, Obama made headlines by eating a hamburger with spicy Dijon mustard, rather than with the "American" condiment of choice, ketchup.

Seriously.

Obama's "elitist" burger preferences stirred some conservative commentators into a fit, with Fox News' Sean Hannity mocking the president for claiming to be a "man of the people" while putting Dijon (the horror!) on his burger.

"I hope you enjoyed that fancy burger, Mr. President," Hannity sneered.

And watch until he utters any one of the names "Clinton," "Obama" or "Soros." I guarantee you'll be inconvenienced for no more than three minutes or less each time.

According to that idiotic neck-with-a face, the aforementioned are **still** battling the heroic Trump as he valiantly fights against the demonic, liberal Deep State.

It's be laughable if the country wasn't a Russian satellite state now.
