Why do we hear so much shit about trump when we didn't hear it about obama?

Republicans like to argue that the media only pays attention to his screw ups and not the good work he's doing.
Well...Obama was doing good work too (or at least work that some people thought was good and others didn't, same as trump) but he wasn't in the news every other day for saying or doing something stupid and\or immature and\or possibly criminal.

So is it a conspiracy by the fake news media or is trump maybe not exactly presidential material?
Or do you go a step further and say that his lack of basic social skills and ignorance of world events is a refreshing change from more measured heads of state like obama?

This is not accidental, it's central to how he won the election, and how continues to keep his supporters in check. He built a career on this, and surrounded himself with people who keep it going. People like Conway.

Trump used to call the New York media, pretending he's Trump's agent, to tell them about all the good things Trump was doing. It's all part of the con. One of his buddies, and media advisers, is the publisher of the National Enquirer. An hour ago, as I stood in the grocery store checkout line, the National Enquirer as in the side isle, at eye level, proclaiming that Charles admitted to the Queen, why he had to kill Diana. This is the audience Trump caters to.
