This is as pathetic a both sides framing as I have seen in a long time. No. Comparison.
Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time
How Donald Trump is turning into Joe Biden
It’s about more than denying inflation

The president is increasingly erratic, forgetting promises he made just days ago and lashing out angrily at reporters for asking routine questions.
Seems like the news should talk more about this

President Donald Trump lashed out at an ABC reporter and reversed his position on Monday afternoon after saying he would push to release the video of an alleged drug boat strike that has come into question.

oh hey look it’s the thing literally everyone said would happen
Two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting H-1B visas, soaring costs are roiling rural health care facilities that have long struggled to find staff.
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China.
His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority."
