No, he's not. He's more direct and brazen about it.

But he's doing the same culling, the same political demands, same everything.

Its just now in plain view rather than behind closed doors.

Exactly, people think that Biden, Obama, Bush, etc. are some sort of saints and Trump is the devil. All other presidents used to do the same things behind closed doors and Trump just doesn't care to hide it.

They weren’t saints but it’s a matter of degree. When did Obama or Biden abuse their position to enrich their own families? https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/trump-family-corruption...

That’s why I said they didn’t do it openly. Also when you say it’s a matter of degree, where do you draw the line? It’s all just different shades of corruption. Also didn’t Biden pardon his own son before he left the office?

Saying it is a matter of degree is an attempt to make what the current administration is doing is similar to what prior admins did. They are not. They are corrupt to the core. As for Biden he pardoned his son beacuse of a MAGA witchhunt.

That’s exactly the point. You justify Biden’s actions saying it’s a MAGA witch hunt and Republicans justify Trump’s action blaming it on democrats. Both parties fails to see what is wrong and right according to the rule of law objectively. The sad part is that all those actions by politicians from both parties negatively affect the normal people, however the irony is that those people would still defend them instead of calling a spade a spade

I don’t see it that way. What maga is going is completely and utterly outside the law.
