Why is it that people can say the sorts of things about Trump that they would never have got away with if they'd said them about Obama?
For example making fun of him having little hands, not that they look particularly little, or being a crook, or a liar or a racist, etc.
I am a supporter of neither of them, and from outside America, from here it seems something rather nasty, spiteful- spoilt-brat-childish about the people who do it.
I have friends who do it too,
As an experiment I tried saying the exact same sort of thing about Obama as they say about Trump (even though I didn't really think or feel it) and they seemed genuinely shocked, and bewildered that I would even think of talking of Obama in that way- hopefully it did them some good when I explained why I'd done it.

Double standards pure and simple that's why, even if it is true what they say about Trump and to be quite honest I think allot of it is true, but if it was equally truthful for Obama or any other none white politician, no way would people be allowed to say it without there being some very eager and vicious backlash, such as being outed on mainstream and social media as well as being banned on social media to the point where the police have to become invoked often resulting in doorstepping where howling mods congregate on and around where people live and work.
Its disgraceful, but what is far more worrying is not what we have become, but what we turning into, which to me is more like a pack of howling bloodthirsty wolves than thinking human beings.

The hands thing is Trump's own fault. He was bragging about the size of his thingy, and said it is big because he has big hands. To brag about having a big appendage is not the sort of thing any decent person would do, especially when running for president. He brought it on himself.
Trump is a crook, liar and racist though, and Obama is not. Trump lies about anything and everything.
