Do you hold Trump to the same standard as Obama or Hillary?

Simple question. Hillary was never president, but she was ridden with scandals (some legit, some faux) and accused of trying to pimp influence for personal gain. Meanwhile Obama never had a legit scandal in his two terms as president, but was heavily criticized for issue executive orders and being inexperienced when he came into office. Trump is the least experienced president in US history, but it applauded both for his inexperience (because somehow that makes him most qualified), his rampant use of executive orders, being unapologetically partisan and caring only about his sliver of the electorate (by contrast, Obama and Hillary are centrists). Obama is a decent family man, Trump is a serial adulterer, an accused rapist, an accused serial groper, and has openly mocked family values and religion. I could go on and on...

So do you judge Trump by the same standards as Obama and Hillary?
 
No two situations are exactly the same but the answer to your question is Yes.

I don't particularly like Hillary Clinton or Donald Rump, but I try to see past my personal dislike and judge the scandals based on their merit and not the personality of the scandalous.
