    He’s far from the first major political figure to express disdain for voters they don’t agree with. Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, all had their moments.

    I’m sorry, but what the fuck? What is this bullshit line supposed to do, beyond French kiss trump? I’m guessing it’s just sheer coincidence that they’re naming all Democrat politicians here? None of them even remotely behaved like the Cheeto does on a dialy basis

      If you look between the lines of a lot of CNN articles/headlines, they are straight up pro-trump, at least insofar as not writing anything the admin would consider filing a lawsuit over.
