The same thought occurred to me today. Trump is brash and a braggart, but so was Ali. Yet Donald Trump is mocked and criticized for doing basically the same thing Ali is admired for.
Ali beat and bloodied people for a living, and for reasons beyond my understanding is celebrated for that. But Donald Trump is condemned when violence breaks out outside of his rallies, even though his hands touched no one.
Welcome to Double Standard Land!
Both are/were the best at what they did.
