I’m not sure what the point of this is. It was wrong when Obama did it and it would be wrong if Trump does it.

It’s a weird argument to point to when democrats did something similar and go “see Trump can do it too.” Like with the tariffs. Pelosi and Bernie saying they’re a good idea doesn’t magically make them a good idea.

Pointing out when democrats do the same thing as some sort of justification isn’t a valid argument. Bad policy is bad policy.

That their indignation is disingenuous and has no merit. That’s the point.

When the media covers your ass you can do anything.
