It is unbelievable just how much Bloomberg has actually legitimized trump.

1. Trump hates Ukraine because Zelensky would not help him win in 2020 by framing Biden with fake crimes.

And, yes, the media are lazy about Trump, but most media is owned by billionaires. They most likely want Trump to be president because he cuts their taxes. The Sulzberger family (which controls the NYT) and Jeff Bezos (Washington Post) do not give a fig about what happens to the country outside their orbit. All they care about is personal wealth and for the Times keeping wealthy shareholders happy. The people at their level know they will be fine no matter what Trump and his MAGA Party do because their money and power protect them.

If Trump committed more serious crimes as president, no one at either paper would investigate or publish findings as the Post and did with the Pentagon Papers. The era of truth and high expectations for public political figures is over unless you’re a Democrat. Then the standards are higher than ever.
