New? No, but far more vile. Sure there were racist assholes, but everyone knew them for what they were. The last 48 hours is a great example. The photo ops we saw coming from the Obama/Castro summit were not much different from Singapore: But the MSM reaction to that meeting was far different from this one. Check out Twitter, every time Trump puts out something - no matter what the topic - he's greeted with thousands of responses that can be summed up in three words,"go fuck yourself." Did his daughters ever get called a "c--t" on a major cable network, with editorial approval, I might add? Vile is not a strong enough word for what's going on.
When you’re a douchebag people treat you like one. Trump has no one to thank but himself. Act like an adult he may get treated as such.
He did, then he ran for president and people started to treat him like shit and he became a racist overnight.
