There's no way this will be brushed off in today's hypersensitive politically correct climate.

Yeah, I agree and that's the main reason I hate it.

So many people claim to be offended it's hard to make out who is really offended. Those who are offended should be considered and those who just want to grandstand should be executed.

Well he is the current President of the United States and should be representing all citizens, not just the ones that elected him, and have a better understanding of what he says and how he says it.

Now there would be a media sh>itstorm if Trump said the same exact thing in the same interview. But that wouldn't make it newsworthy. 90% of what the media "covers" isn't newsworthy. Past the basic factual reporting of the story (maybe 10% of total airtime) the other 90% of time spent with talking heads arguing is worthless.

condemn something anyone says. I reckon I'm so sensitive because I've been rubbed the wrong way a few times in here. Some snowflakes jump on a mo fo for the least thing. If someone can't take the truth or a joke fuckem.

rule when Trump makes a joke about the Chinese President and lifetime rule. No sarcasm or humor missed there.
Both sides lose any and all sense of humor if they have preconceived notions about the messenger.

I do agree because of the climate, this will roll on with no issue. If it had been a Republican it would be more of an issue, however I would hope that the majority of people are smart enough to see that this isnt a big deal.
I think celtic_tiger® knows this, he is just asking a great question to start conversation and doing so without baiting or trolling. Many of you could learn from this.

But I wonder often why politicians choose to "go there," even if it's not intended wrong. Sometimes as a leader one of the things you sacrifice is a moment of humor, in the interest of keeping yourself clear of trouble. I've had to eat it and apologize multiple times in my life because I just took the desire to be funny, a little too far. It was not malicious, just not everyone finds everything funny.
