To be fair, most of those companies had those phases with administrations that were a lot less petty than the current one.

You mean like when the Obama administration wasn't petty and didn't jail a journalist for not revealing sources on a story with no real importance and merit?

Every administration is made of people. People are petty. This is why the government should be as big as necessary and no bigger.

I mean yeah that sucked. Won’t excuse that one bit.

Therefore that must mean this administration has totally been above board and has steered clear of weaponizing any petty grievances.

Good old whataboutism, obviously any administration that does at least one bad thing is equally corrupt. There's no possible reason to distinguish between how corrupt two different corrupt actions are or how many of them there are beyond a single one, right?

It’s possible, but it’s quite obvious at this point that large part of the population isn’t capable to do this distinction.
