You didn't mention that one.
My standard is "entertainment" frankly. I don't bat an eyelash when they're petty, and get that it's part of their job to be entertaining and get ratings. People like Mika, Hannity, Ann Coulter, O'Reilly, etc. can say whatever they want. I may not agree with it but like someone said, I change the channel. They don't represent me. The president represents all of us.

I was on the treadmill this morning switching back and forth between Morning Joe and Fox and Friends, which is the only time I ever see those shows. Joe was saying that something is wrong with Trump and that he has changed in the last two years. He said that he used to "get the joke" but that now he doesn't seem to understand what's going on.

On F&F they played the remarks for Kellyanne who completely blew it off, but I think we'll be hearing about it more and more.

How can someone as hideous-looking as Donald Trump insult someone for not being as aesthetically pleasing as he would like?

This is a man who can set off WWIII with a few misplaced words.

So yes we hold him to a higher standard, double standard, whatever you want to call it - hell, any standard above current gutter level would be welcome at this point.

The topic is about a specific tweet to a specific anchor.

Will you teach our toddler to grow up and act as Mika Brenzski did on TV towards the President of the USA?

The behavior is acceptable or not.

It is amazing that you even have to point this out. But then again it is amazing that someone like Trump ever got elected in the first place. I am becoming more convinced every day that we do not have the ability to govern ourselves. America is on the downhill slide and right now I don't see much evidence that we have the ability to stop it.

Why would people in a room want to talk about your opinion?
