Traditionally, each president has had a party-based agenda which was supported by their party on a partisan basis. This president, while he has coopted leadership of one of the parties, has clearly separated people into his friends and his enemies. Those republicans who he deems his enemy are simply given names like RINO or "Democratic asset".

He is also far more likely to use the court system as a bludgeon against his enemies. (He just fired the US attorney for Virginia when he said there was no evidence that Latisha James, the NYS Attorney General had lied about her primary residence on a mortgage application - yet he didn't pay attention to claims that some of his allies had done what he blamed on her.

While this make it easy for those who get their news from social media and silo sources to "understand" things, it is a far more open "in your face" approach than other presidents used in the past.
