Do you remember when the media had a fit about Trump being racist for blocking the flights to countries with high covid rates? How about the two weeks after he announced operation warp speed to develop a vaccine and everybody swore up and down that they wouldn’t take Trump’s vaccine? Trump bears a lot of responsibility for the toxic political culture, but it wasn’t just him.
Trump looked like he was going to do the approval for the vaccine himself (or override it). He promised that it’d be ready even sooner than what the organizations making and approving it had said.
As far as “toxic political culture”, Trump bears the lion’s share of the blame. Before he entered politics, it was not at all normal for politicians to behave like this.
