Every Trump flaw must have an equal and opposite flaw in his rival.
In a’s Charles C.W. Cooke concedes only, “I will freely stipulate that Donald Trump is an asshole, too — and that, in some ways, he’s an even worse one.” InBefore registering the astonishing level of partisanship that is required to equate the two candidates, I will concede a couple points. First, Biden’s character is a perfectly suitable subject for criticism.
And second, character is perhaps the most subjective aspect of politics. Every human being contains a mix of positive and negative traits, and nobody even tries to hold some objective system for gauging which ones matter more than others. I think of John McCain as having a good character, but having an affair with a lobbyist andyour staff to lie about it is certainly not admirable behavior. These are matters of personal taste.
That said, it is impossible to imagine any kind of moral construct that would equate Joe Biden and Donald Trump as human beings. Even if we accept the harshest interpretation of his flaws, Biden has attracted a loyal coterie of aides who stayed by his side for decades. He enjoys giving personal counseling sessions to kids with speech impediments. He has maintained friendships with people ranging from Amtrak staffers to Republicans in Congress, many of whom speak of him in glowing terms.
I feel extremely confident that no Democrat in politics has ever said anything like this about Trump. Indeed, Trump is routinely depicted as amoral, comically vain and sociopathicTrump’s character flaws are so vast, and encompass so many realms of human behavior, that it poses an impossible task even to adequately summarize them.
