Comparing Trump's Indictment to Other Ex-Leader Prosecutions in Democracies
The indictment of former US President Donald Trump was not a major news story for most of the world's media, ranking below regional and local concerns and often alongside celebrity news items. This is because many countries are more accustomed to holding their leaders accountable to the law. The US lags behind in this regard, with many other major countries having prosecuted or charged their leaders for crimes. While the Trump case may gain more attention with future indictments or convictions, it may still be seen as the US finally catching up to the rest of the world in terms of upholding the rule of law.
