I’m talking about things like when Trump talks about nuking a Hurricane, if anyone else said it would Democrats assume it’s just a flippant comment said in jest?

Or, if Trump gives his permission to beat someone up because they say something they don’t like, is that just an expression like when Ralph Cramden threatened to send Alice to the moon.

I personally feel a president has to be more careful with his words, but what if he was just a regular guy on the street, or a friend, family, or work colleague, is what he says a big deal then? Would you take his comments very differently if he wasn’t president?
