Trumps tweets are unacceptable because they are divisive.

Obama said that republicans "just hate all the time".
Biden said republicans want to put blacks back in chains (my favorite)
Hilary says republicans are deplorable and irredeemable.

I agree with you that Trumps tweets are obnoxious. But why are they less acceptable than the other comments I posted? Those aren't incredibly divisive?

Or is it that it's OK to be divisive when you're demonizing republicans, but immoral to do the same thing to democrats?

How about just having a fair, consistent set of standards we judge presidents on, and use the same standards whether the president is a republican or democrat?

Either saying these things is tolerable or not. But let's not keep changing the standards every time the party of the sitting president changes.
