2. Trump, with or without the Capitol fiasco, has had a fractious relationship with morality and the truth for huge periods of his life, in and out of office.
This whole story is yet another example of how binary the internet makes things for so many people, and the truth (which is what is supposedly the driving force behind the story) is that two 'sides' here have repeatedly let down millions who should be able to rely upon them. When these stories are shared and people are encouraged to quickly form opinions and make binary choices, it's sometimes better to remember that both 'sides' are shameful and indefensible for so many reasons, that it's best to be on the side of neither.
