None of your examples are on a public stage for a mass audience. It's different. What you say to the crowd has distinctly different impact than what you say "

None of your examples are on a public stage for a mass audience. It's different. What you say to the crowd has distinctly different impact than what you say "in the locker room" to an acquaintance.

But if you then brag about your locker room conversation to a journalist while on the record, that then become in the public stage.

  also, the issue with the access hollywood tapes wasn't that it was "locker room talk" that got public, it was that what he said was morally pretty disgusting. people were mad about what he said, not the manner or forum in which he said it

  "while on the record" The problem is that he wasn't "on the record"... he was secretly recorded. Meanwhile, the other side backs actual calls for violence from people like Maxine while clutching pearls over 6 hours of mostly peaceful protests in the capital. Trump says mean things? bad things? OH NO! he's so much worse than democrats and "peaceful activists" who have caused billions in damage and killed many people.

    They also arrest old ladies for an “insurrection” while ignoring billions in damage from Burn Loot Murder. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/kansas/articles/2021-04-25/two-kansas-women-arrested-in-jan-6-capitol-riot https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/kansas/articles/2021...

    He was bragging about sexually assaulting women. That is a very bad and very mean thing, and has nothing to do with the "democrat" protests.

      Except he wasn't bragging about that. He was bragging that groupies exist and that they would "let him do it" because he's a star, in a crass manner.

The last few decades saw the Global oligarchs lie to get the US into wars for the middle east which resulted in genocides. I’m looking specifically at Libya, Iraq and Syria. This was done with lies but with the president acting “presidential”. Between a president that wears a smile while systemically destroying countries for the sake of the petro dollar, and a peacetime president saying mean things on twitter, I’ll take the latter.
