Allahpundit at Hot Air, in a post about Tucker Carlson, on his FNC show, what-if-ing about the due-process-and-guns blurt happening in the Obama era, offers a number of other examples:
Trump does something literally every day, sometimes more than once a day, that would drive the right bananas had Obama done it. Telling Mike Pence on live television that the police should grab someone’s guns and worry about adjudicating their rights to those guns later is an extreme “What if Obama did it?” example, so glaring that even Fox primetime couldn’t let it pass. But there’s no reason to stop there. What if Obama’s son-in-law was holding policy meetings at the White House with bankers who later approved his family firm for hundreds of millions in loans? What if Obama was in a public feud with his own Attorney General, whom he disparaged regularly for not protecting him from a DOJ investigation? What if Obama’s top comms aide coincidentally resigned the day after testifying before a House committee that she’s told “white lies” on his behalf?
What if Obama tweeted something as batsh*t as “trade wars are good”?
When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!
What if he tweeted that within an hour of publicly attacking the guy who’s impersonating him on “Saturday Night Live”? We would think he had suffered some sort of brain damage. The 25th Amendment would be a hotter topic on the right than it’s been over the past six months on the left.
All of that happened with Trump in the span of two days. Two days. How much of it was hammered in the 8-11 block on Fox the way it would be hammered during an Obama presidency?
Still, the water-carriers are spinning away.
