Your line of thinking seems to imply that if personal responsibility is important, what is happening at the top automatically is less important. I'd say both things can be crucially important at the same time.
But of course actually I refer to a lesser extent to the good things Trump did not do and say (although there is a lot to say about that too) as to the unquestionably counterproductive and imho often plain horrific things he did do and say. The latter things are those that leave me utterly perplexed, as does calling those things somehow not that important.
And as I said when this all started: I put a higher priority on keeping Justices out of the Supreme Court who judge on their Liberal bias than I do on Trump saying I should wear a mask.
One sets laws I must abide by and one just runs his mouth trying to keep the world's largest economy afloat.
