I hear ya, I just think we went from electing people who care more about their side than the welfare of the country to electing a guy who cares more about himself than the welfare of the country, is all.  Maybe if Trump owned Pepsi and as soon as he got elected he started telling everyone how much Coke hates America his agenda wouldn't be too subtle for the average American to grasp.

Other presidents were politicians.  In 2016 we decided that we hated politicians so much that we elected a guy who bragged about the fact that he had no experience nor interest in being a politician.  It's possible that the 2020 and 2024 elections and onward are centered around debates where both candidates brag up how little they resemble actual politicians.  Anyways, like a business Trump is out for Trump, not anyone else, so even showing paper-thin political courtesies for the sake of "his party" are off the table, it seems.
