Under President Trump's administration, there has been a significant shift in the political landscape of America, where behaviors considered unacceptable have become more common. The president's frequent use of personal attacks, bullying, and dishonesty has contributed to a troubling normalization of these actions in public discourse.
This trend poses a risk to democratic norms, as it diminishes the standards by which public officials and political behavior are held. The downplaying of such deviancies suggests a disturbing new norm in politics that may have lasting implications for accountability and civility in democratic society.
