I guess you missed my second sentence.

My argument here is regardless of who you are or whatever profession you have, you should be accountable for your actions. The fact that people are playing double standards saying this like Snoop whoever it is, is not a President, therefore Trump is still worse. Absolutely no.

Just wondering, do you believe that a person within a position of power and influence doesn't have to be held to a higher standard, especially if that person is elected into his position.  Also are you ignoring that certain positions have a greater reach and influence then your average.

Also am I reading correctly that you feel if Trump told someone to commit violence, the person who committed violence is worst then the person who advocated it.

No. Because everyone should be held in the same standard. The moment that one is given a special treatment over the other is when justice fails.

Judging someone for being "less" evil because they're just the average joe and not the president is grasping at straws. It's nothing but a scapegoat for bad behavior and just makes certain individuals to feel less guilty about their terrible actions.
