It truly amazes me how so many Trump supporters shrug their shoulders and say "no big deal" at all of Trump's gaffes and possible crimes. Meanwhile, had Hillary or Obama done half of those things, the roar from the right would have been deafening. For good reason, mind you, but the hypocrisy of "Trump did it so it's fine" is maddening.

Imagine this: Hillary Clinton won the election instead of Trump. She goes on a foreign tour where she cozies up to the Saudi's and promises to give them tons of weapons. Next, she goes to Israel where she declines to speak to the Knesset for fear of being booed. Around this time, reports come out that she's tired and wants to go home. (So low energy!) Then she goes to Rome to meet the Pope before heading to meet with foreign leaders - shoving them away and insulting many - if not all - of our allies. All while an investigation at home was going on about her possibly working with Russia to steal the election.

What would be the headlines from FOX News, Breitbart, and the rest? You can guarantee they wouldn't be calling all this stuff "FAKE NEWS" and saying that the real story was the leaks coming out of the government. Instead, they'd be lauding the leakers as national heroes. Meanwhile, impeachment would likely be the tamest thing they'd be calling to happen to Hillary.

But Trump is the one doing it, so it's all perfectly okay!
