Art and media has been riffin' on and parodying politicians since the dawn of time.

Why is it a surprise that they laugh at Trump, an egregiously bombastic and dishonest politician, who actually outright badmouths the media that dares to criticize him or seek dirt on him as "fake news"?

I mean, shit, I live in a country where heated discussions in the Parliament often turn into outright fights. The media outlets are all owned by many different political/economical factions, who always seek dirt on each other and criticize the rival's every move. The President does not allow himself to criticize media outlets for "pushing the wrong story" like Trump does. Isn't that how democracy is supposed to work?

IMHO, you Americans have lived for so long with Obama, who (unfortunately) barely received criticism from anyone in the news business aside from one big conservative outlet and a lot of nutjob sites, that you just forgot what the usual political critique is like.

Remember Bush Jr?

Remember Clinton?

Remember how they made asses of themselves and were parodied and criticized everywhere?

How is it different from the situation with Trump?
