And btw. I do in no way attempt to whitewash Democrats. They sure have their own set of sins.



Sure. It's just, none of the deplorable things that democrats said and did over the years diminish anything Trump says and does. These matters are not intrinsically connected, except when you try to prove that my outrage is selective. An assessment I do not find entirely fair (certainly a little fair, I am not unbiased) when it comes to my person. In general, sure, but again that's imho a weak argument for not being bothered by Trump's conduct.
The other issue is that many of the things you listed do not stem from an actual candidate for president. That's just of a different importance.

The media targets Trump. Many things they say about him are made up and many things taken out of context. I watched a video over the weekend of an interview with Dr. Phil and DJT. It also had some crowd reaction at the end. People felt lied to by the media and how they portrayed him. Many Americans are learning this now. Here's the interview in case you wish to give it a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkBkgqt_mT0

Don't get me wrong, I still think DJT is kind of a douche and egomaniac. But that doesn't disregard the fact that he has been treated unfairly. When he cries witch hunt, is he lying? I don't think so. They have been obsessed over him.
