The quip I threw out regarding 'tan suits and arugula' was not random; both were outrage incidents manufactured by conservative media in relation to President Obama.
Conservatives manufactured a moral panic over how Obama was unfit for office because he wore a tan suit in public and how he was out of touch with 'real Americans' because he ate arugula.
In contrast, most non-conservatives are disgusted at Trump because of his cruelty towards others, his failure to address COVID-19, the fact that violated democratic norms to put himself in office, and the fact that he is taking steps to rig the 2020 election in his favor.
The kind of scandals that conservatives created around Obama (such as tan suits and arugula) are not equivalent to the actual scandals that surround Trump.
