Can you freaking imagine what would've happened

If President Obama had made comments like the idiot in chief made about the military. The rabid tRump supporters would have overrun the White House and dragged Obama out and lynched him!!! 😤

It would be completely out of character for Obama to say things like that, so I don't think it would have been taken seriously by most people. On the other hand, it does fit Donald Trump's character, and is consistent with what we know about his view of the world and his past comments about John McCain not being a hero, etc.
