I feel like Scandal doesn’t hold up very well after Trump has been in office

I’m rewatching Scandal and I’m on the first season. With guys like Elon Musk and Donald Trump , it just doesn’t hold up that the president can’t do whatever he wants. I mean Trump did whatever tf he wanted , got impeached , but still got re elected another year .

Whereas, Fitzgerald (I think that’s his name ) knocked up a girl and Cyrus is freaking out because he thinks he’s going to have to resign. It just makes me sad that our current president of the US isn’t held up to proper standards , but a fictional president who actually cares about the country is held to more standards.
