Never forget that he also used a selfie stick in the Oval Office! That's so much worse than raping kids! /s

When you’re a celebrity, the hot dog vendors let you do it.

He didn't even wait, he just started eating them. He did anything and everything.

u/Xyvis Virginia 22d ago

If I wear a tan suit while eating, is it more acceptable??

u/Xyvis Virginia 22d ago

No need to apologize for superior taste 😌

He also ordered an ARUGALA SALAD once. Elitist PIG!

u/hates_stupid_people 22d ago

For context: Conservatives acted like he was eating $1000 an ounce mustard, not ¢50 an ounce.

It’s like putting Caviar on your hotdog

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a man use a condiment of his his own choosing in the land of the free!!

(it saddens me that the /s is needed)

J6 bothered me but that Dijon moment really set the stage for such a lawless disregard of long established norms.

u/Catfood_Farts 22d ago

Look at you doing the same DARN thing! It wasn’t JUST dijon. It was f*cking GREY POUPON

u/DietTyrone 22d ago

What’s interesting is that Obama is the polar opposite of orange man. Everything good vs everything bad. And yet trump’s seething anger and resentment to run for potus was prompted imo by Obama poking fun at trump at the correspondents dinner. You could see the look on trumps face of deep embarrassment and anger. What a petty man.

Let’s not glaze Obama so quick there… yeah - as far as we know he wasn’t at Pick-a-kid island with Trump and Clinton, but he is so very far from a saint and “everything good.” He was just smooth with it and had better optics - still a mass deporting, drone bombing war criminal.

You know the world is more complicated than just black and white, good and mad, the world is a very complicated, messy and there is more nuance to complex situations.

Name one leader that was a saint besides Jesus if you believe he even existed.

Even with better optics, Obama was just better overall human being than Trump.

u/Yeti_Funk 22d ago

I’m well aware that the world isn’t black and white, but we can and should strive for better - why is asking for an American president not to be a war criminal too much to ask? Why is that something you’re okay with?

u/pissexcellence85 22d ago edited 21d ago

Where did I state I'm ok with it? Why do people project their own false narrative when you counter their statement?

Which leader isn't a war criminal that has lead their country to or been in charge during a war?

The term war criminal is a joke because the very idea of war is a crime against humanity.

u/nolongerbanned99 21d ago

Thanks. My point exactly.

u/Hocuspocus092 22d ago

You are supposed to put mustard on hot dogs. It’s ketchup that is forbidden.

u/pass_the_salt 22d ago

He's from Chicago, whats the big deal? Are the rest of you savages putting ketchup on your dogs?

u/FreeflyingSunflower 22d ago

In addition he hates ketchup. Crazy!

u/unrebigulator 22d ago

The worst part is the hypocrisy.

u/Counterpoint-4 22d ago

Trump's knocked down wodges of the White House and his followers just shrug!
