I agree that by being so constantly nuts it’s less newsworthy when Trump does this sort of thing. If you listen to him talk it’s an endless stream of lies, demented babbling, and nonsensical statements. Since he does it all the time though nobody cares.
It’s the same thing with the corruption. Since Biden is so squeaky clean the idea of even a single corrupt act being possible is a big news event. Trump was so constantly, flagrantly corrupt that people stopped caring. I mean imagine if it turned out Biden was running a business down the street from the White House where foreign leaders paid him bribes. That would be an extinction level scandal. Trump did it for four years though and nobody cared.
The Republicans allowed Trump to normalize his vile criminal behavior while they picked at every little thing on Biden's part so as to attempt to bring Biden down to Trump's level of incompetence. They did it to Hillary and Obama as well so it's pretty clear that they're resorting to that underhanded ploy of theirs because the Democrats have a popular sell on their efforts to govern while the Republicans are merely trying to hook and crook their way to victories because they have nothing of value to offer the nation's working class stiffs.
