    Why is there a picture of Trump?
    He’s not the president.

    Edit:
    Apparently some people just don’t have the ability to pick up on the subtext that Trump isn’t president at the moment and Biden could also use HIS shiny new presidential powers on Trump too.

      See we use something called “context” to make sense of the things being explained as sometimes words can be interpreted differently or literally.

      In this case, the “context” of the ruling surrounds actions that Donald Trump took while president. It’s because of this “context” that he is, in fact, the one in the illustration.

      It wouldn’t really make sense for Biden to be here in the “context” of the article, but I’m sure that it wouldn’t literally be incorrect.

      Does that help?
