Why do you think the example being trivial means that they all have to be trivial to apply? Examples are not all encompassing, nor do they seek to additional constraints that were not part of the definition.

The whole point of the fallacy is to disingenuously distance the group from acts that members of the group have done.

There's a bipartisan bill in the Senate right now to force the tariffs to expire after 60 days if not approved by Congress. So they're at least putting on a show of doing something. It mentioned it on the blurb up top

It also costs a few million just to fly him to maralago. Each time. Plus charging secret service for the rooms they stay in at his properties. He's just funneling taxpayer dollars into his own pocket.

S&P500 needs to drop at least 7% to halt things for 15 mins. It only drops 5 yesterday

To sell it later because he thinks it'll be a collector's item. His only thoughts are ever about making money.
