Completely different. Obama just wore a regular, well-fitting, well-matched suit, and Republicans manufactured a scandal out of it.
Trump literally killed these six people for his own selfish, impulsive ends, shrugged it off in comments, and then, at their funeral, lacked the bare minimum courtesy to even take off his stupid, tacky baseball cap. The fact Fox News """accidentally""" aired old footage that showed him without a hat illustrates that even they know it's fucked up.
The "worse things are happening right now so let's not cover anything that would only be a month-long scandal in any sane administration" position is the one Republicans want you to take. To quote Steve Bannon: "flood the zone with shit."
lets not forget he has expressed his feelings about those fallen in combat before. Suckers and losers. You sorta got to to take it all together. Not to mention obama's suit thing was doing a press thing and not a dead soldiers in caskets thing. I mean making a comparison is as stupid as the whole brown suit thing to begin with.
