I don't expect Trump to reel in his rhetoric when people are comparing him to Hitler and calling him virtually every name under the sun no. At the end of the day, the people Trump lashes out at rhetorically are other politicians, and people in the media, people who do also wield power and influence and that comes with the job for them as well.
I don't like this absurd notion that the media is some sacred cow that must not be spoken about in harsh terms.

😂 Good lordyBeing attacked is part of the job; it's well known before you take it. As POTUS, he sets the standard and should lead by example. Guess Obama was correct when he said Trump didn't have the temperament to be POTUS. Thanks, Obama.
*Some* pushback is to be expected, but no...attacks on this level are not part of the job.
Plus like I said: if Trump needs to dial it down so do his opponents.

Obama was compared to Hitler many a time. So was Bush Jr. They handled it like adults and as the POTUS should.
I don't think it's an absurd notion that the POTUS sets the standard and should lead by example.

Exactly, they need to stop comparing him to dictators before they decide to cry about his rhetoric.
He's right to call out the media, and it's not even just about how they treat him...they wanna divide us. Here is a story from 2 days ago from CNN:
Four women who left water and food for migrants in Arizona sentenced to probation
Doesn't the headline suggest that the women were put on probation because they tried to give food and water to migrants? Yet if you read the actual article...they got in trouble because they entered a wildlife refuge without a permit and also for abandoning personal property at the refuge lol.

Obama and the Hitler comparisons started not long after 2008 and it went through at least 2014, likely longer. That's six years, that's far longer than Trump's been POTUS."Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate" -Limbaugh
And yet the frequency that it's been hurled at Trump still tops it.
FFS, it was a constant meme through at least 2014 for Obama. Every time Obama talked about gun reform triggered the "Hitler took away citizens guns" meme and similar. Obamacare was noted as "the worst thing since slavery for America".
But sure, you play the Trump's a poor victim card. Shit just comes with the job; other PTOTUS' handled it like adults.
Why Republicans are obsessed with comparing Obama to Hitler

Not playing the victim card, merely pointing out that when it's at this level it is not "part of the job".
Like I said: if his opponents want him to tone down the rhetoric they need to start doing the same. Until then?
