We're entering presidential campaign season and the media quest to find the candidate who most relates to the "common man" is heating up.
NBC News was all over former President Trump's stop at a Dairy Queen this week:
During a stop at a Dairy Queen, former President Trump appeared perplexed by requests for a Blizzard — perhaps the most famous item on the menu — while engaging with employees at the counter. https://t.co/Qx72hPDbHm

If the subject of that story were a Democrat the NBC News headline on that would have been "presidential candidate buys ice cream for everybody at Dairy Queen."

In any case, the Dems are trying to get some mileage out of Trump asking about Blizzards (any port in an economic storm):
Donald Trump doesn’t know what a blizzard is.

You know who does? Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/fxXKu0dL7O https://t.co/KOpFUDiXdy
Yes, Trump went to Dairy Queen yesterday and asked "What the hell is a Blizzard."

If I were to guess, probably about 98% of Americans know exactly what a Blizzard at Dairy Queen is. It definitely is baffling to me that a former President would not know this. But who cares?

The DQ where Biden was looked really crowded (insert sarc mark here).
By the way, we have little doubt that Biden knows more about ice cream than Trump, but the Dems' heavy focus on Biden's Blizzard expertise generated some interesting blowback until everything fell off the rails.
that is awesome. oh hey also i could use some health insurance and a mortgage under 7% if ya got a minute brother https://t.co/QuLAYWgBtT

But Biden knows Blizzards! Then again he also actually believes he created 13 million jobs, knocked almost $2 trillion off the debt and that inflation is under control.
Imagine thinking this is a sick burn https://t.co/2GhLZXnzdu

I’m so glad our president knows what a blizzard is… now can someone inform where he is and what day of the week it is https://t.co/4d8jIuWrEl

He also knows of another blizzard. Cocaine up his son’s nose in the White House https://t.co/v42MaXaiRC

Yeah, Joe knows all about snow https://t.co/fj4kgIVC24

You'd think the Left would take a break from talking about "Blizzards," but guess not.
Of course #Biden knows what a Blizzard is.#JoeKnowsSnow https://t.co/HJto5izoMz

Ed Krassenstein: ignore the cocaine White House story and Hunter Biden - they’re non stories

*proceeds to soy out over Trump not immediately knowing what a blizzard is* https://t.co/RsWQCRuFfl
81 million votes and we get a guy barely qualified to hand out Blizzards at DQ.

What are there, 4 people there? https://t.co/SVhjWdXNu7
Ok, it's been fun but we're going to go get some ice cream now like everybody else.
