It is certainly your right to criticize Trump for anything whatever. I'm simply pointing out that to act all surprised because he called someone an SOB is just odd because he's said stuff like that so many times before. It's like people woke up in a new universe and were, OMG, I can't believe it. Trump used language.
But you are right about the criticism being almost constant. And most of it is about Trump's personal vocabulary and behavior.
It's like beating a horse that is not only dead but mounted somewhere.
I have no problem at all with people criticising Trump's actions as President.
I don't think anyone has been surprised by his childish name-calling, but I do think people continue to be disappointed in it. I know I am, and I'll NEVER simply find it acceptable behavior for the President of the United States. I would like the President of the United States to act like a mature adult. I just don’t think normal, mature adults pick petty squabbles; they don’t give childish nicknames to real or imagined foes; and they don’t lie/make false statements/mislead consistently. I want the President to reflect my values and principles. When he doesn’t, I’m going to call it out, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. For example, when Clinton and Obama lied, I (and many others) called them out. I'll do the same with Trump even if many of his supporters refuse to (not suggesting you refuse to).
I think there's a perfectly logical explanation for why the criticism is "almost constant". It's because Trump's childish behavior is almost constant. I've praised him on several issues (e.g., Gorsuch, regulations, focus on vets, attacking ISIS, etc.). I've also criticized him for his adding to the debt (which is my number 1 issue), and his childish behavior (e.g., lies/falsehoods/misleading statements/distractions). If he stops doing things I disapprove of, I'll stop criticizing. Until then, I'll exercise my right.
