It's the media

The media...hopping on the internet.

This is just me but, these starting happening more often when he got elected after 2008.

After 2008, more and more people began hopping on the internet as it wasn't seen as a geeky loser thing anymore. As internet access became more readily available with the invention of the smartphone people were on the internet all the time. The media then hopped on that shit too.

So now the media is running 24/7 news cycles on tv, in the paper, and now on the fucking internet.

Or it could be something else...for example I saw something a while ago talking about female leaders in Europe and historically their countries were involved in more wars than ones with kings, I believe the take away from that was these nations with queens were seen as weak so they were attacked more.

Perhaps people can smell a weak leader thousands of miles away...but I think its the internet/media combo.
