We’re mad that the Bidens profited from coverups but assume the Trumps haven’t ever benefited from the same type of coverup? Do people really think Trump became a billionaire by just being a sweet person? Do people really think that Trump hasn’t ever used his influence to squash a story or report that he didn’t like?

I don’t see that as the central issue here. On gut, I generally think Trump is at least five times more guilty than Biden, per the reasoning you gave.

The issue is that we’re verifiably living under a pervasive propaganda machine that has most well-meaning people, intelligent ones, fooled. That it’s supporting the lesser of two evils, is beside the point that the truth is being deliberately concealed.

I dislike Trump intensely. That doesn't mean we give others a free pass though.

In the area of $1 billion from the CCP and Ukraine, with Hunter flying with Joe Biden on official business to those countries. The US was literally for sale.

Also, the Clinton Foundation took over $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, which stopped when Hillary lost the Presidential run.

No financial benefit when in office.

> Do people really think Trump became a billionaire by just being a sweet person?

He inherited around $1 billion from his father, a major NY real estate developer.

Not for monetary benefit.

The major incentive for Trump to run as President was patriotism. The major incentive for his Dem. opponents was wokeism and Marxism.
