Yes, to me it's not much different then the Presidents kids going to a private school instead of a public school.
Would you still rate it a 1 if Obama did it?

I know you didn't want to talk legality but I would like to point out the tweet from @POTUS now gives Nordstroms standing if they want to sue.I want to be clear, I'm not trying to imply its illegal or Trump should be impeached. Just honestly ask yourself what your reaction would have been if Obama or Bill Clinton did the same thing? I get that Trump is a Father and he's protecting his Daughter but the President really needs to be above this stuff.

Just to be clear - you're asking us to consider the horror of Bill Clinton sending an un-Presidential tweet? Bill Clinton, who used the most powerful office in the world as a cheap no-tell motel room to use a young intern as a masturbatory aid and, um, personal humidor, then when caught perjured himself, suborned perjury, and sent people out to call her a mentally ill stalker while he made sure to be repeatedly filmed carrying a Bible that a Catholic family could use as a formal dining room table?Everyone seems to be avoiding the question "What if Obama or Bill Clinton did the same thing"

By all means, let's consider the extremely hypothetical situation of Clinton doing anything as un-Presidential as Trump's tweet.

And then pretend that this is somehow less Presidential than a married man molesting the help?No I mean suspend disbelief and pretend Chelsea was an adult & twitter existed, he then sends out a tweet shitting on a company that chose to not sell Chelsey's stuff

Monica wasn't a willing and consenting sexual partner? She says that she was.
EDIT: Is this some of that 'fake news' I've been hearing about? Tsk, tsk. Shame on you.
Would it be higher if he did it during his national security briefing?Yes, i find it inappropriate. On a scale of 1-10 it's a 1 for me.
So righties are admitting inappropriate is now the norm?Because everyone is judging this tweet against his other tweets and against his expected behavior which in turn is based on his past behavior. If Obama suddenly tweeted this, you're right, people on the right would say it's inappropriate. But we're so used to Trump doing inappropriate things, that even people on the left look at this and say, well gee, it's isn't that bad compared to what he just said like...yesterday.
Tweeting it during his national security briefing shows me he isn't doing his damn jobNothing wrong with him tweeting his opinion on it from his own twitter. I don't like that the @potus twitter account retweeted it. To me the simple answer is for him to use his own twitter for his own personal opinions, and the potus twitter is for the positions of the US president. In the grand scheme, it's not even remotely close to a real issue though, regardless.

What would his title have been if Hillary had won? 1st Husband? 1st Lord? Husband in waiting?

You would be alright if Obama sent a personal tweet about a US business not buying Michelle Obama's book?
I think you are being deceptive.
As long as he's not doing anything against the law, I have no problem with it. The only issue I have is making sure there's a distinction between the personal opinion of the president versus the US government position. The US government has business meddling in such private dealings. Trump has every right to express his personal opinion that his daughter is being treated unfairly.
