Trump will call someone an SOB.

Trump supporters praise his "real talk".  Trump opponents say he's awful.

A democrat will call someone an ass.

Trump supporters get up in arms about the lack of decorum and the insulting.  Trump opponents agree that it could have been said better and it should not be done.

Well.... OP did not say it could have been said better. Rather solely focused on how much worse Trump is. I'd whole-heartedly agree with that.

It would be bad though to claim that critizising Dems is out of place as long as Trump can still be considered even worse. Hypocrisy of Trump supporters is one thing. To use that as some kind of carde blanche for the own team is something else though. Yeah Dems are held to a higher standard, for that's what they should hold themselves to, also that's what they claim they are, people with higher standards than Trump. They should behave accordingly and no pointing to Trump should alter that.

Seeing it diffently would mean Trump can indeed succeed in lowering all standards, imho.
