While every incumbent in some way blurs that line between the official and the political, President Trump stands apart from his predecessors in that, his aides say, he doesn’t even see a line.

The Trump White House similarly hasn’t had a separate phone on the presidential aircraft installed, for Trump to use for campaign phone calls. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both had separate press secretaries and separate phones.

“Most presidents more or less respect the fact that the Rose Garden and the White House, that’s sacred space, that’s something that belongs to all of us, and most presidents avoid getting too partisan while using those spaces,” presidential historian Michael Beschloss said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” when asked about Trump’s Rose Garden appearance the day before.

The White House counsel’s office now reviews all speeches by the president’s aides to ensure they comply with the Hatch Act, a senior official said. Sometimes that formula might be recalculated if the president is deemed to have been too political in remarks the White House counsel’s office had cleared as official, said Ian Bassin, who was associate counsel in the Obama White House.

Last month at an official event in Phoenix, Trump walked on stage to several thousand supporters who’d been chanting “Four more years!” and warned that “violence and mayhem” will reign “if a guy like Joe Biden gets in.”

President Trump is not a politician all before him were scum liars all around him now r scum liars PRESIDENT TRUMP BUILD 5 MORE FEDERAL PRISONS N MOJAVE DESERT PUT BLM RIOTERS THERE

And NBC crews are right there enabling him!

This is another affirmation that the media CBS NPR ABC NBC are the true enemy of America. Time to protest local affiliates in your city. Show them this is NOT acceptable and is an abuse of responsibility to the public! ORGANIZE!

It's because the media attacks him 99% of the time.

Trump is pathetic

trump doesn't see the lyin' either...

----TRUMP IS TELLING THE TRUTH-THE OTHERS LIED----THATS WHY HE WINS BY A LANDSLIDE

Trump is a white supremacist. Dont let a few black peeps in his slackies fool you. Examine his record prior to his pretending as president. His plan. Steal the election. Force segregation. Peeps of color will have less education, safety, rights health care, money than whites📬🇺🇸

Trump and this admin have certainly exposed the ethical 'traditions' that need to be made laws instead of remaining 'guidelines' or 'expectations'.

He sees no line BECAUSE NO ONE HAS STOPPED HIM WHO SHOULD.

Does nbc tell people how our Pres was first to stop the virus from spreading by stopping flights into US, got Corp companies to make ventilators, ppe for hospitals sent in navy ships! He did to keep us safe while some gov like NY worked against and sent people w/virus to n homes!

That's because he is a sociopath and has no conscience; hence no 'lines'.

So much for: LawandOrder 😒

No insurance b/c 'Pre-existing conditions,PLEASE help Us get Him proper care after His 💙 transplant, PLEASE consider a donation & a RETWEET, a celebrity may see this plea & donate, THANK YOU SO MUCH 💯! To have to do this, in America,😓 JamesNewHeart

Trump only see what Trump wants to see

He's is loyal to people of color death

There's many of physical cowards they refused to stand up to Trump he got so much evidence against the other government officials were they have no choice but to kiss his ass

That’s because its Trump’s way or no way. Rule of law and constitution do not mean anything to Trump. Republicans in Congress sat back and let Trump run all over them. Trump can do anything he wants when he wants. No checks and balances.

elected a malignantly narcissistic con man did you expect anything else

Only lines he sees is the tan lines he got from spending so much time on his golf course 🤣🤣

Most political president in history! Most presidents know that when they take office they are president of all the people .

We aren’t beholden to invisible unspoken lines

We all know that realDonaldTrump is not very bright.

note: NBC would like to thank Joe Biden’s campaign manager for writing this tweet for us.

TrumpStormTroopers TrumpThreatensAmerica TrumpIsANationalDisgrace HUNTING AMERICANS? Donald YOU ARE A COWARD!!

👇what did he do other than drafting the 1994 crime bill?

Ummmmm, did you miss something during the Obama administration?

November 3rd is the line. Vote this man out

america if you are not afraid of realDonaldTrump you should be.

You can defend this man all you want but the facts point that Trump should be thrown in prison.

fakenewsmedia the ultimate hypocrisy

When are taxpayers going to be reimbursed for these campaign events Trump holds under the guise of official capacity? ABC CNN MSNBC StephenAtHome sethmeyers SenateDems SenateGOP Congress

in my 72 years i have never seen someone so so so dishonest in office, and there are plenty im sure but he takes the cake

trump ONLY KNOWS CRIME

One thing at a time

Meanwhile, national news outlets stands apart from fact in that, everything they say, is tagged with 'imaginary person say' This clearly is the FakeNews trademark Wordsmiths use of 21st century hearsay ad absurdum proves how the National Enquirer was 50 yrs ahead of it's time

Its not easy when your fighting the Mediascum Thats why he was elected and thats why he will be re-elected

Most humans have some level of personal restraint and empathy, whether genetic or learned. Trump is that rare human that has none; he lives only for himself. Giving him the keys to the US palace will go down as one of the greatest and costliest mistakes in recent world history.

After 48 years Biden is running on what he promises to do. After 3 years Trump is running on promises he has kept. Biden = China first Trump =America first Its a no brainer

I don't know if I agree with this observation. I believe history has proven that virtually all elected public servants use their 'service' for personal gain and wealth. Politics has become a 'for profit' industry.

Can realDonaldTrump be forced to pay back our tax dollars since they're being used on his reelection campaign ? I don't want him reelected and I strenuously object to the fact that my taxes are being used in this way!!

But the beans 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's because realDonaldTrump is moron. Jorgensen4POTUS

God bless our President FOURMOREYEARS

merica you mean like the line between 'journalism' and 'advocacy' that you guys don't see?

merica What 'official business?' There's only stealing and campaigning with these people.

albamonica Part of that is because he has never worked in government before.. but the 90% of the rest of it is his own personality and everything having to be about him. He can't imagine not being able to just do what he wants. He's done it his whole life.

ALL he sees is Donald Trump.

“Aides say”.....proof it. What aides? I call B.S. and say your lying.

He has one focus as Bolton clearly pointed out - of course to ensure he is re-elected. He is clearly incapable of performing the responsibilities of a true leader and has failed miserably since elected in 2016.

A lifetime without ethics and following laws has created this man. His focus always been and will be about himself.

I don’t any such line has ever existed. 👮‍♂️🗽🇺🇸

MSNBC When are we going to have a discussion of Putin putting a price on servicemembers heads? Or the violations of the Hatch Act Or asking for foreign help in re-election campaigns (which won't happen your gonna lose, BIG), Or how you have NEVER taken responsibility?

mathers_georgia And so we just excuse it?

He doesn’t see the line between right and wrong, democracy and dictatorship, appropriate and inappropriate, etc. where others see lines, he just sees self-interest.

Trump wants to be king.

This administration is so corrupt and emboldened by an impotent GOP, if you don't vote you are enabling the dismantling of our democracy!

Obama never did either....

We love it. You are screwed.

President Trump is the worst president in history! He inherited a great economy from Obama!

Trump thinks he is the state.

Scumbag is FIRED.
