“And so, while the video is offensive to some, what’s potentially just as worrying is that it’s also misinforming the public about what the debate between Democrats and Republicans is truly over,” he said.
Grant Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said that he believes what’s been new in recent years about the type of content Trump shares on social media is the fact that it’s “coming out under the president’s name, directly.”
“In earlier times, such things as this video — which some will find insulting, others aggravating, and others funny — were done by other people who could not be associated with the president himself (or a House Speaker, or a Senate leader),” he told HuffPost. “That was out of belief that it was important for a president to remain ‘presidential.’ To conduct himself with a certain decorum of civility, restraint, and respect.”
“But that has never been this president’s M.O. — he blew that up a long time ago,” he continued. “Is this video worse than Trump making fun of a disabled person? Worse than encouraging security at a rally to beat up a heckler? At this point, that’s a tired discussion.”
