Does anyone think this stuff doesn’t happen in every administration?
The difference is, with Trump, the press is eager to jump on any little thing to try to paint him in a bad light.
It does, and therefore no President or elected official should be above criticism. However, I agree that it's important to differentiate legitimate criticism of Trump from the Right (e.g. taking him to task when he softens his stance on illegal immigrants) from the talking points that liberals use against him. If Bannon had stuck to the former rather than engaging in the latter, I'd have no objection.
