Yeah this nails it I think. It seems that you’ve decided that Trump feels a certain way and are using that lens to interpret him. If you start with a presumption of Trump's good intentions, of course you won't see a problem. But you can't then also claim to be impartial.

If you can look at the two versions of the headline you wrote and claim one is true and fair and the other is a lie and biased, I don't know what to tell you. For any impartial observer they're functionally identical. I sincerely challenge you to show the two of them to different people, without any coaching, and ask them if they see any significant difference between the two.

To be clear, I don't think Trump is a white supremacist either (in the original sense of the term not the new "all white people are racist" woke-speak). But the fact that I don’t think he‘d join the KKK doesn't mean he's not racist.

There are countless examples of casual and not so casual racism from Trump. I even refer to some of them in the original article. The same is true of Biden. I refer to those too.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but you seem really clearly biased here.
