Trump gets attacked in ways that Rubio or Kasich would not be. But Trump brings that on himself by his own behavior. It’s the same way that Clinton got attacked for his personal behavior in ways that Obama was not. Indeed, as I noted in a pit thread it is unfortunate that many conservatives, even in the SDMB, seem to have trouble to just spit something like “I do not approve what the President is doing here”. And yet I have seen right wing sources to not pull punches as items like this need to be criticized, regardless of the politics one has. Here I’m talking about the latest tweet from Trump. > [@Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428/1081): > > 3-[Tweeting to the FBI Twitter account to watch Fox News (without any specific link) to find evidence that he was wiretapped.](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/848880519458717698) Does he not know that he’s the (cough, puke) President, and can go and speak to the FBI any time he wants? Think about it guys, do you really think that is something Rubio or Kasich would be doing? Someone that has a lot of power in his hands and he is unwilling to check the proper intelligence channels and instead relies on sources full of conspiracy theories or propaganda geared to be in favor of Trump himself? That is not going to lead to good results when real big emergencies or crisis pop up. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/serious-question-wouldnt-president-rubio-or-president-kasich-get-the-same-treatment-as-trump/783629)._
