To mark the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump entering the GOP race, Bill Maher tried to understand exactly how he’s gotten so so so so so many passes for far worse.

Over the years, Maher said, America lost its shit when Al Gore sighed, George H.W. Bush checked his watch, Ross Perot said “you people” to a black audience, Dan Quayle misspelled potato, and Sarah Palin couldn’t name a single newspaper.

Meanwhile, Trump bragged about the size of his dick, tweets a lot of “racist shit,” “doesn’t even pretend he can read,” and he insults the military.

And so Maher really wanted to know exactly how there’s such a monstrous double standard here.
