The thought behind your comment seems to be "Trump is no different than other recent Presidents, just he's treated differently" without saying it in so many words. Is that indeed what you think?
Republicans have long complained about the media being mean to right-wing presidents (or, sometimes, remembering Clinton and Carter, to white presidents, where Obama is considered a PC outlier), but this sort of non-defense is a convenient dodge in terms of having to actually defend Trump's specific actions...
The irony here, too, is that it also ignores right-leaning media's long history of fear-based politicking.
