As trump's campaign initiatives further crater…It seems Putin is quicker than the national media to understand when an asset is no longer an asset?"

Why exactly is it hard to explain the toxicity of Trump? It seems to me that it's just the opposite. It's actually hard not to. But the media keep finding ways not to. I have to believe that is by design. They could make up Biden's toxicity or unfitness or whatever you want to call it from whole cloth. But they can't find ways to report that Trump is and has always been a deranged, narcissistic sociopath and a racist? The MSM have routinely normalized Trump's behavior and ignored or elided his worst tendencies. At the same time, they manage to deride and diminish Biden's best attributes and accomplishments. That's what takes a lot of effort and forethought. Describing Trump's cruelty, his racism, his hate and his unfitness for office is not a heavy lift.
