I mean, it's not exactly "getting away" with anything. It's perfectly legal to say such things...
Well, yeah, it is certainly legal to say such things, but we're talking about the president and, more importantly, precedent and power. It is one thing for you or me to say "such things", but when a president says them, his voice has consequences and people take his words and pervert them and often take things in their own hands, doing damaging things that they think the president wants.
So, yes, I agree that what he is doing is legal, but he does get away with things that no other president ever has, polluting the national conscience and normalizing bad, even evil, behaviors.
