At least in my lifetime, every president has commented critically about the previous administration.
You’re absolutely right that US presidents have historically not used their position for personal profit, or at least not overtly so. Jimmy Carter famously sold his potato farm upon being elected in order to avoid potential conflict of interest.
Oh, sorry, I might not have been aware of much of the smaller things (I’m not from them USA parts) - but I was trying to make the distinction between ‘polite criticism for distancing themselves from the previous admin’ (something all politicians do on all political levels, even in cases of direct policy/friendship/spiritual succession, even in companies actually, it enables the new admin to be their own distinct thing & get traction among the people & coworkers sooner) & just bitching for the sake of it, calling names etc.
