The list of "offenses" that the right wing media was apoplectic about is too long to recount....suit color, feet placement in the Oval, mustard choice for a sandwich, spousal hand gestures...amazing how low the bar gets as soon as a Republican disgraces the office every other minute...

they said he should not be interfering in a legal matter. That the president should not be giving his opinion on such matters. Now we have this loudmouth buffoon.
