There does seem to be a sway in the reporting towards his relationship with an employee and not the whole trade ban and spy stuff. I'm not sure why that is

Probably A/B testing. People click the salacious stuff, so that's what gets emphasized.

Think of this current fracas like this: Americans have a strange penchant to define themselves by sexuality. So, they are easily distracted into a trance by their hormonal and prurient interests for extended periods.

A famous guy had an island and it was extrajudicially a place where alot of powerful people internationally could come to his island and interchange info and ideas and make deals and things could occur and he collected up all that kind of stuff, including arms deals and the sex stuff.

But Americans are only right now aware of the sex stuff in what he collected up.

The sex stuff is essentially a distraction, the oily film on the deeper ocean of truth.
