The contrast between the Biden response to a jury verdict and Trump's response is a matter of Presidential qualification

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-difference-between-reactions-to-two.html

The United States Department of Justice, under the Biden Administration, has not yet been involved in any prosecution of Donald Trump. They've been involved in investigations which produced evidence leading to indictments on multiple counts related to the theft of classified documents, and to inciting an insurrection against the Congress in session on January 6, 2021. But there was no involvement or connection between the justice department and the Manhattan district attorney's office regarding the Trump trial for the crimes committed in covering up a scandal involving the affair he had with porn star Stormy Daniels, just prior to the 2016 election.

The investigation involving Hunter Biden was initiated by the Justice Department, not under Trump, but under President Biden's appointed Attorney General, Merrick Garland. And the difference between the way Hunter Biden, and the President, have handled that prosecution, trial, and now conviction compared to the manner in which Trump handled himself during his trial is, in my own opinion, a contrast that points out a monumental difference in integrity between the President, who has shown just exactly how qualified he is to serve by his actions and reaction, and the ex-President, who has shown not only how lacking in integrity he is, but what a disgusting, disrespectful, selfish human being he is.

This contrast alone establishes President Biden's personal and professional superiority over Trump, who has proven, once again, that he doesn't have an inkling of understanding about this country and its government, and has nothing but contempt for its people and their constitutional democracy. People caught up in hard core partisanship don't notice things like this, but there will be Americans who look at this particular comparison, and see what they've needed to see for a long time. Joe Biden is so far superior to Donald Trump in every way, and particularly in integrity and honesty, that the choice for President is a no-brainer. And only those with no brains would choose Trump

obligations of the Presidency, especially in not using the powers of the office for his or his son's benefit. Trump is totally the opposite, disrespectful of the justice system, of the rule of law, using every trick to get away with whatever he can and cheat the system, which shows his contempt for America, it's constitution, and its people who empower it. He is completely incompetent and totally unqualified to serve as a small town dogcatcher with that kind of attitude, much less any other elected office.

I don't expect his base to notice the difference, they're as deplorable, despicable, disrespectful, selfish and unpatriotic as he is and their values have been skewed out of shape. But the majority of Americans, those who aren't scum like he is, will take note of this. This is a difference maker, one of those things that clearly delineates the difference between a demagogue like Trump and a real, patriotic American like Joe Biden.

Take note of this. It's a big deal.
