Trump’s actions have been shady and potentially illegal, but calling them “treason” is a stretch. Critics seemed determined to paint him as a villain early on, before any lines were even crossed. Yes, he withheld documents, just as Clinton deleted emails, and both cases left unanswered questions about what might have been compromised. As for Hunter Biden, he’s not a public official, but the scope of his pardon raises fair questions about the past decade.

January 6 is no different - blaming the insurrection entirely on Trump is oversimplified. He questioned the election, but nowhere did he explicitly tell people to storm the Capitol. The idea that an uncoordinated mob could even overthrow the government is absurd. What were they going to do; occupy the Capitol and declare victory? This exaggerated narrative is politically convenient but ultimately baseless.

Like I said, I’m not a Trump supporter and haven’t voted for him in any of his campaigns, but these repetitive talking points have been dragged out and beaten to death, accomplishing nothing while distracting from real issues - especially with him set to return to office in just over a month.
