That comparison is flawed. Trump attacked Obama, yes, but nobody else did.

What about all the unofficial charges? Like the one about him calling dead
soldiers "cowards?" Or that "Trump refused to rent to blacks?" How about the
one about "The president had a bad day today, and Melania appears to now have
a black eye?"

Maybe it doesn't meet the legal critera for "defamation," but it's totally
defamation.

I wasn't around in those days. Was the media giving it their all? Did Johnny
Carson make Nixon jokes nightly for several straight years?

 RM> 4) I do not see any money grabs.

So you're feeling good about Biden's investments? I'm glad! But what is there
to feel good about? Have you seen a return on this investment in any way yet?

Does it seem like it's the right time to start spending millions on
influencing Pakistani culture? Or how about billions to the same central
American countries that send their people backpacking to the USA because of
"problems back home?"
