I am pretty sure that, since Washington left office, the party out of power has complained about the president of the party in power. And we have just come out of 8 years of the right wing complaining about everything a democratic president did, one who hadn't spent the last 30+ years and two entire campaign cycles being a giant d-bag.

But there is a difference between complaints--like opposition to Reagan's tax cuts and use of attack adds--and COMPLAINTS--like opposition to authorizing burglary and lies which lead the country to unnecessary war and thousands of unnecessary deaths. 

What is interesting about the current conjuncture is that we have president who has violated more of the unwritten political norms which both parties agree are necessary to good government, generated more scandal and behaved more "unpresidentially" than any previous president except Nixon, and appears to be rearranging our international alliances without knowing anything about foreign policy--yet people speak as if the admittedly unprecedented volume of criticism this generates is as much or more a problem with the character of Trump's opponents than the president himself.
