Donald Trump recently gave a commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy and proclaimed that life was unfair, with his life in particular as the unfairest of them all because the media coverage he gets is so negative.
Now I'm a pretty fair person willing to give any argument a fair shake, and in all fairness must agree that it's true the media have unjustly targeted him so personally. It would be like the good ol' boys shooting the shit about the ethnic folks when one of them goes on a popular rant about mexicans always be rapin', and somehow he gets the spotlight when it could be any one of them.
Similarly it would be hard to argue that if some typical trump/gop fan would put in his shoes they wouldn't do the same things, eg try to ban muslims, build a wall against mexicans, take healthcare away from the most needy, obstruct justice, be overwhelmed by the presidency, and the list goes on. In that case it would only be natural in a democratic society for them to choose one of their representative own, so it's easy to see Trump's perspective that he's just the scapegoat for all these popular ideas.
In sum the point here is that fair-minded people should remember the Donald Trump being picked on in the media is just a symptom of conservatism, and not the disease itself.
