President going to president. I'd advise most people save their outrage for when Trump pardons his extended family at the end of his term a la Biden. I expect it'll be an ongoing feature of presidential politics and that seems like a bigger problem with corrupt pardons than this excessive ballroom. There should be an expectation that presidents - and their families - are not above the law.

I'm engaging in whataboutisms. Talking about the alternatives is very much already in the conversation. Trump isn't a president because everyone thinks Trump is the best man in the US for the job, it is because the alternative was the Biden/Harris administration or some generic Republican failure. And despite the quality of the opposition it still wasn't a sure win for him, which says a lot about how people are viewing the situation.
