I agree with most of that. But, I’m sorry to be the one to inform you: Corruption is a form of power. The leaders of most other countries aren’t getting the same privilege as the leader of the US and host nation would. If you don’t acknowledge corruption as a form of power then you’re really missing the problem with corruption in the first place.
I will never understand why people think there is importance in how they decide to define things in their heads moreso than how they have an impact on the material world. Why should I care how correctly acknowledging that Trump has “power” makes you feel?
Power is not just an idea. It has actual impact on whether you acknowledge it or decide it should be seen as “power” in idealism. You calling something “powerful” isn’t giving it power. The economic, military, and social connections give power.
The leader of the US will have this power whether or not you celebrate it. And I never said to celebrate it. I’m not celebrating it. I said to acknowledge it.
You seem to think you’re in a movie and bending the knee or something. It’s not. It’s pointing to the problem.
In my opinion. Calling it “trash” is just you giving a comforting but useless response. Yeah, we all dislike it. I would hope we all hate white supremacy. But pretending white supremacy doesn’t have “power” in our world would be delusional.

In my world, I see a 30 year old bastard kick a child and I would react in bile condeming this behaviour
In your world, you’d be fawning over the bastard exclaming how powerful he is

If all you do is condemn him then you’re not making the world any better either.
They aren’t “fawning” they are explaining the situation using accurate language. Trump is powerful because he can do all this corrupt shit and nothing happens to him for it. We had an entire presidency after he attempted to start an insurrection and he didn’t even get a slap on the wrist. People love to talk shit about Trump but that isn’t changing anything in reality.

I know this but refuse to celebrate it… therefore in my book, corruption is just trash
They probably would, they are just not petty or stupid enough to bother asking… or they would have worked it discretely
Already addressed it
