Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.

Trump is not like "other country leaders". Historically the above would be disqualifying for "other country leaders". You can't cover news about him like "other country leaders". I almost can't believe that you're saying that you can.

This is the complete most idiotic, moronic and stupid argument ever presented in my like 20 years of being a dumbass arguing on the Internet.

Donald Trump is different so he didn't steal the medal.

This is your argument.

No. He stole the fucking medal and the other guy understood all of what you're saying, decided it isn't worth it and moved on.

But he stole the medal.

I don't think he's saying it was ok. Reads to me like Trump gets regular passes on all kinds of shit for some unfathomable reason.
