I do realize that Trump behaves and communicates at a level that is appropriate for some Americans, and that they celebrate his shallow, immature, undignified and nasty vulgarity and behaviors because he mirrors their own. They finally have someone in the White House who acts just like they do, AND it justifies (in their minds) the way they are.In Normal World, a President of the United States calling other Americans (or pretty much anyone, for that matter) "human scum" would be considered shocking and undignified, and certainly beneath the office.
But currently, it's just spitting into a hurricane.
I wonder how low our standards will ultimately go.

I think you are forgetting another factor here. Suppose President Trump's assessment of the nevertrumpers is correct, and they are human scum?
Is it really improper or undignified then? Doesn't a President have a duty to be open to his people and give an honest evaluation of them?
I think if Mr. Kasich or Mr. Walsh or any of the others of the "never trump" group want to contest their President's observations, that's fine too. But I think the fact that they haven't really rebutted Mr. Trump's evaluation, tells me its probably pretty accurate
That doesn't make it right.

To the contrary, in the era of PC a lot of people have self censored themselves. Then they see Trump just rise up there and state what he thinks directly and bluntly. It is baffling to them. All of these years they have self-censored when they could have just stated what they believe all along, like our president. Obvious facts like men are not women etc.
More and more people are waking up to how they were scammed.
