7. If the media had done its job

Trump would not be president. His decline has been noticeable for 60 years. Joe Biden was effective and then some. Trump has always been an ineffective self serving buffoon. Everyone is pointing at Biden and President Tang is destroying the world. The press is still not doing its job. We need to stop talking the bait and focus on what is important.
