True but Trump is attacked every day from the left and the leftist media. Obama didn't get the same treatment. Conservatives feel like their values have been under attack for a long time and they see Trump as the only one capable of punching back. As Ben Shapiro said, he's a hammer in search of nail and he'll miss sometimes. Your list should be longer.bearister said:
"The best way to keep Donald Trump's presidency in perspective isn't to go down the rabbit hole with every fight he picks or statement that mangles reality, but instead to realize the sheer volume, Axios managing editor David Nather writes.
We looked through his public comments and tweets for this week, and found an avalanche of personal attacks and statements at odds with reality.
Why it matters: For history's sake, let's not lose sight of how unusual this is.
The list includes:
He heckled Robert Mueller, both before his testimony and after: "Robert Mueller did a horrible job."
He attacked reporters who asked him to respond to Mueller's testimony, calling one "fake news" and another "untruthful."
He infuriated the leaders of Afghanistan after noting that "if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth." Afghanistan officials demanded a clarification.
He suggested investigating President Obama's book deal: "Let's look into Obama the way they've looked at me ... Let's subpoena all of his records."
He kept attacking four Democratic congresswomen of color, tweeting that the group was "a very Racist group of troublemakers."
He denied a WashPost report that he had talking points on the lawmakers, even though there's a photo of them.
He claimed with no evidence that undocumented immigrants "vote many times, not just twice, not just three times."
He claimed that Article 2 of the Constitution gives him "the right to do whatever I want as President." (It doesn't.)
He accused the news media of inventing sources: "There are no seven sources. They make them up." (We don't.)
He charged that social media companies "censor opinions" and "decide what information citizens are going to be given," and claimed his supporters have told him "they make it so hard to follow you." (Go to Twitter, look up @realDonaldTrump, and see if it's hard to follow him.)
Breaking ... Trump this morning attacks House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings of Baltimore:
"[T]he Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place."Axios

Because he won the election. The electoral college system is broken, elections were rigged, etc...Trump had no chance with the leftist media before he even set foot in the White House. Let's separate character and policy., I'd rather have a beer with Obama but support Trump's policies over Obama's.sycasey said:BearForce2 said:

Why would he? Obama was relatively scandal-free and rarely said anything as controversial as Trump does.
Sometimes people get attacked less because they are actually better at their job.

Did Jim Jordan sustain brain damage from wrestling or is it attributable to PTSD from enabling molestation in the locker room?

"There's no strategy. I have no strategy. There's zero strategy," Trump said upon returning to the White House from a trip to Jamestown, Va.

The new category is different in that it focuses not on racial motivations, but on violence based specifically on beliefs that, in the words of the FBI document, "attempt to explain events or circumstances as the result of a group of actors working in secret to benefit themselves at the expense of others" and are "usually at odds with official or prevailing explanations of events."
...
The FBI said another factor driving the intensity of this threat is "the uncovering of real conspiracies or cover-ups involving illegal, harmful, or unconstitutional activities by government officials or leading political figures." The FBI does not specify which political leaders or which cover-ups it was referring to.
Quote:
To adapt a line from Huey Lewis, I want a new party one that won't make me sick.
I have written so often (and so recently) about the ways Donald Trump's G.O.P. makes me sick that I won't repeat myself here. It's enough to say that when the president calls for four elected members of Congress to "go back" to their supposed countries of origin and neither the Senate majority leader nor the House minority leader can bring themselves to condemn it, you know you are dealing with a party that lacks brain, heart, spine, and vital parts further south.
