When it comes to presidents being mean to reporters or the Left’s lawfare efforts, a lot of Democrats have a knack for suppressing any pangs of self-awareness that might try to surface.
Another such example arose after the Democrats got triggered by Trump called a reporter with a ballroom question a “dumb person”:
TRUMP: We have a ballroom that’s under budget. It’s going up right here. I’ve doubled the size of it because we obviously need that.
REPORTER: The price doubled
TRUMP: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person. pic.twitter.com/6f4acQshov

That sent a few Democrats and “journalists” to their fainting couches.
Mehdi Hasan asked a question that people were happy to help answer:
When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized? https://t.co/iv1ydBN1tR

The answer is “not very many years ago” in this example:
Probably around this time https://t.co/QV9oUtmaCg pic.twitter.com/NhxtWluNrI
