Trump's pardons, rage tweeting is peak white male privilege. Obama could never.

OPINION: Imagine if President Obama’s final moments in office looked anything like Donald Trump’s last days in the White House

Can you imagine if President Barack Obama’s final days before his White House exit in 2016 looked anything close to President Donald Trump’s last days in office?

Imagine if President Obama had screamed from the rooftops that Trump’s then-opponent Hillary Clinton was robbed of a win in the 2016 election? (newsflash: she likely was due to Russian election interference and social media misinformation).

Or worse, that Americans should not honor the results, and instead use his legal team to help Clinton file massive lawsuits to overturn the election in federal court, with absolutely no legal evidence?

While I don't dispute the premise of the article the fact is no other president has pulled some of the shit Trump has. He's really lowered the bar on acceptable behavior.
