The comment is criticizing the fact that Trump can seemingly say and do whatever he wants and gets away with it. While if anyone else does it they're called out on it.
- So you think the implication of the original post was "everyone should be able to make disrespectful comments about people that almost die and it's ok"?
  Or is the implication "it's not ok for people to make disrespectful comments about people that almost die"?
  This isn't complicated, those are the only two interpretations of the original comment. Only one of them is a realistic interpretation, and it - along with a lot of comments in this thread - are overtly hypocritical.
  Don't think I'll win over you or the hypocrite-hivemind, and I don't particularly care. Later.
  
  Cool overdramatic story, bro
  
  Uhhh what lol
  Explaining how reading works = overdramatic
  Is English your native language?
  
  Look man, you're obviously trying way too hard to argue with someone. It's not going to be with me, I couldn't care less what you think.
  Brush up on your English lessons and chill the fuck out.
