I generally agree with your overall thesis that Trump was not as exceptional as people like to say. Which is funny since I feel like almost all of your reasoning is wrong.

Trump shaking down Zelenskyy for campaign dirt : Nixon's Watergate

Obama targeting the Trump admin with the FBI seems a lot more like Watergate to me. You know, spying on the other party?

Incidentally, the allegations against Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were true. Amazingly, the mainstream media is starting to actually report on it. I have no idea why they're choosing now as the time.

Trump's Covid non-response : Regan's AIDS non-response.

Trump did respond to COVID, though, with Operation Warp Speed. At the time, the mainstream media attacked him for being dangerously irresponsible for suggesting that a vaccine could be produced in less than 18 months.

Trump's pardon-spree for pedos and other criminals : Bush Sr's pardon-spree for Iran Contra conspirators.

Trump hardly went on a "pardon spree." Trump granted 237 pardons versus Obama's 1,927 pardons.

Trump tearing up the Iran nuclear deal : Bush jr. tearing up the North Korea Agreed Framework of 1994

This one seems fair.

Incidentally, Biden is back to making friendly noises towards Iran, because we desperately need more oil. Iran is back to... literally launching missiles at us. Which maybe has something to do with Soleimani, to be fair.

Trump's gargantuan tax cuts for corporations and the uber-wealthy : Every single Republican ever.


Actually, Trump closed many loopholes that some people and businesses had been relying on. For example, Apple had to bring a lot of cash back to the US. A lot of upper-middle class people making six figs in NY or California actually saw their taxes go up because of the end of the SALT deduction. But it's true that taxes on muh billionaires went down, which I guess is the only thing the media reported about it.

Probably the biggest differences about Trump were that he was anti-war and anti-illegal-immigration. You could probably go back more than 30 years without hitting a president as anti-war or anti-illegal-immigration as Trump.
