The woes of being political

The Trump administration suffered mild media hostility from its outset in 2017.

The American media had a hard time finding anything positive to say about Trump and his Presidency.

It rarely has time to do anything else.

It alerts viewers to “far right” views of his supporters, and points to words and phrases used to piece together an entire worldview that is anti-Trump, but leaves it to the Democrats to pick up the pieces.

It can be argued there’s plenty of fodder to choose from, but his political woes stack up higher than his media troubles it would seem.

His experience of his political peers turned into hysteria as his first term wore on. He was impeached twice, accused of insurrection, and alleged to be guilty of indiscretions related to his Presidency.

The facts are clear though. Trump and Biden have polled huge support in their respective electoral wins. They both had a mandate to govern set out clearly by the American people.

In either camp there are critics but neither has suffered criticism serious enough to warrant such further investigations.

The democratic weight alleged to be behind single representatives is incomparable compared to the Presidency and yet it may feel stupid saying it.

The American media and lesser public personalities appear intent on making it so but the truth is in the office, not the mouth of any single representative of media or state.
