Actually, at Charlottesville, Trump said there were very fine people on both sides. That was a normative, unifying statement.
And those who call for Trump to be a hypocrite and spout those "boring, rote, hypocritical norms" are reluctant to do the same when it comes to their comments on Trump or his supporters or "the right wing."
John Lewis, as well as other Democrats, didn't do the "boring, rote, hypocritical" norm of attending Trump's inauguration. Obama didn't follow the "boring, rote, hypocritical" tradition of not negatively commenting on his succesor's administration.
I suspect, no, I believe that Trump would be more hypocritically "normal" in his comments about his opponents if they would have the grace to do so about him as well.
