Plenty, but they pale into insignificance compared to Biden's.
I suppose this is the viewpoint I struggle to understand. It's not really even about politics in most cases, more on a personal level.
From my perspective – and I know this pretty much aligns with millions of others – I think that Biden is useless, but Trump is dangerous. He also shares all of Biden's problems just as a starting point.
I'd see it as something like this:
BIDEN'S FLAWS
- Mentally and physically waning
- Rambles incoherently sometimes
TRUMP'S FLAWS
- Mentally and physically waning
- Rambles incoherently sometimes
- Tried to overthrow the government
- Lies constantly about everything
- Driven only by greed and revenge
- Has no policies at all, except for locking up his perceived political enemies and deporting anyone 'foreign'
- Convinced his followers to distrust the free press and to rely solely on his own personal social media site for 'news'
- Has no interest in politics other than for personal gain or credit
- Has no humility, humour, kindness, or any other identifiable positive human quality whatsoever
- Believes he is an untouchable emperor
- Refuses to accept any advice from any expert/professional/civil servant/etc unless they agree with him on everything and devote themselves to him entirely
- Anyone that disagrees with him is sacked/cancelled/insulted/humiliated/threatened/publicly mocked, whether a political opponent or his own staff
- Favours enemy states over his own in terms of intelligence/trust/politics
- Actively against all allies
- Happy to personally insult other state leaders, whether allies, foes, nuclear enemies etc risking war
- No known skills or qualities or relevant experience to do the job
- Utterly divisive. Detests the majority of Americans and makes no secret of it. Detests the remainder too, though pretends not to.
I'd assume that you would disagree with this, but I'm genuinely curious as to how.
