1. The double standard here is maddeningly obvious

Trump was given a pass on everything because he's "new at this". When he so much as did the presidential equivalent of successfully pooping in the big boy toilet or tying his own shoelaces - i.e. the bare minimum of competency - the media fawned over him and showered him with praise. " He's so presidential!", they'd say.

As for Biden the bar has been raised to an impossibly high level, and his bringing back Bs instead of A+s has resulted in stern lectures and mournful lamentations that his presidency is already an abysmal failure about eight months in.
