Trump was an abject failure as POTUS and thus comparisons to the current POTUS when he is criticized. He not only didn't understand norms...or laws...he thought he was all-powerful and could just do whatever he wanted. Then refused to admit he lost. He is still trying to convince states to overturn their vote results.
In short, he never went away.
Biden is so middle of the road it drives both sides crazy and they call him "horrible".
Yet he got an infrastructure bill passed. He and NATO are working together to help Ukraine. He actually got Mexico to agree to help fund border security and improvements.
Not sure if all that is "horrible" to some but it seems to me that he has managed to go into office and work within the system get some things done.
And that's not to defend Biden as much as to say Trump will be the standard bearer every time a discussion of the office comes up. After four years of a man-child in the oval office he deserves to mentioned anytime someone thinks it is somehow "worse" now.
I'm not so sure it's worse now ? But I do believe it hasn't gotten any better. To me a bunch of the top politicians in office now are so far detached from the reality of our everyday lives they simply put suck.
