They distracted Americans with the Iran war. Note that in other countries, they actually did something, like how Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Formerly Prince Andrew; he was stripped of his titles when he was found to be involved. Sure, he wasn't prosecuted for being a nonce, but the United Kingdom did more for someone accused of less than the Americans did with Trump, who was notably accused of far more.

What the Americans did do was punish more working-class paedophiles. Sure, they all deserve to be rounded up and jailed indefinitely if they've harmed a child, but the American response to people in power hurting actual children was to step up enforcement of people who merely looked at pictures or watched videos of them, and others like them, doing it. I'm glad those people are being rounded up, but if you're gonna ignore the ones actually doing it in those pictures and videos, what's the bloody point? It would seem that the point is, the crime is not being a nonce, it's being a nonce who isn't rich.
