The lasting influence of Donald Trump seems to dwarf that of his successor Joe Biden. In the past month after Trump stepped down, he continues to attract most of the media’s attention for all being suspended from his Twitter account. Thanks to his predecessor who distracted the public focus, Biden has availed himself of pushing ahead of his agenda.
The acquittal Insurrection and impeachment makes Trump dominate the headline once again, and it also extended his sway despite the internal squabble among republicans. On top of that, the nagging reports concerned with the suspicion of Trump’s Presidency, ranging from the investigations on business dealings to the charges of bribing to officials and insurrection have served as the trending topics on social media at times.
Whereas something has gone usual, Biden, a pragmatic and low-media-profile person, may have realized that it’s necessary for him to build support from both two parties and one major impediment is Trump’s lasting influence. What he cares genuinely about is the American people, not the face of Trump on the news.
