There was a thing I heard from some Republicans in my life during the first Trump administration, and it would always go something like, "you don't have to like the President's policies, but they deserve a base level of respect while in the office." After this, Biden took office and the mainstream slogan for Republicans during his administration was ["Fuck Joe Biden"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let's%5FGo%5FBrandon?ref=birchtree.me). Literally, this cheeky, "I'm just saying Let's Go Brandon, I swear" slogan flew outside suburban homes and was completely normal during those 4 years.

Cut to this week when Trump [revealed a Walk of Fame at the White House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let's%5FGo%5FBrandon?ref=birchtree.me) with pictures of every President, except the photo for Biden is an autopen. The reason? Well, I think it's pretty obvious, Trump is a whiny, spiteful, little…I'll let you finish the line with whatever you think suits him.
