As bad as the Springfield statements and repercussions are, sadly Trump has actually done worse things to disqualify him for the job he is reapplying for. Because he does and says insane things all the time, people just catch the latest things, and just forget that he kept US secrets in a bathroom he was not allowed to take with him, had Russian politicians and photographers in the Oval Office while barring local journalists in, the insurrection thing, telling the world on stage he trusts Putin more than his intelligence, mid pandemic using the army to shove protesters away so he can pose infront of a church with his Bible upside down, any of his Covid solutions (except pushing for vaccines, if it wasn’t politicised it would have saved more lives, and if Faucy didn’t flip flop on masks), and plenty more. His racist rhetoric is very bad, but the fact there isn’t enough human decency for that to have people turn on him is a bigger problem than just Trump.
