Current Events > In your opinion is trump the worst u.s. president ever?

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you

---

The new low bar for sure could always get worse though....like what if he was him but competent thats some scary shit

---

The worst, as in of all time?

No. That would be ignoring Bush, for example, who Okd the invasion of Iraq, plus several presidents who presided over broken treaty and horrific abuses of native Americans, plus slavery and so on.

---

The worst? No
One of the worst? He's definitely up there, encouraging insurrection is inexcusable among other things.

---

It used to be, "Well, at least he hasn't let an insurrection happen like Buchanan did", but that's done for. He's definitely up there if not number 1.

Yes. He flaunted his authority on a daily basis. He showed zero regard for anyone except for corporate welfare. When he wasn't busy actively advocating for the repeal of vital environmental regulations, reprogramming money allocated to develop military programs for military families to build a vanity project along the border (oh and fuck up the environment there, too), appointing unqualified pieces of shit to the cabinet, shitting on long-standing faithful allies of the United States in order to court the favor of piece of shit dictators, and other despicable actions, he was doing jack shit - golfing at a private resort.

He is the height of human hypocrisy.

He pardoned actual fucking war criminals. He actively interfered in the investigation and trial of a suspected war criminal. That suspected war criminal proceeded to shit all over all sorts of UCMJ regulations without repercussion. I was so disgusted and disheartened to see a piece of shit like that acting like a child on social media wearing the same uniform as me. That did not make me proud.

People can say Bush was bad because of Afghanistan and Iraq. Well I say Trump is worse, because whatever sacrifices were made in an attempt to rebuild good will and order there were disregarded in order to shallowly live up to one of his stupid election promises. He negotiated peace deals with the fucking Taliban.

He actively and vocally rejects democracy. The same democracy through which he became head of the country. He actually encouraged people, live, to march on the capitol to prevent Congress from certifying legally cast votes.

And that's not even the tip of the iceberg seen through a periscope from a hundred nautical miles away.

No president has been perfect, many have engaged in disturbing behavior.

But Trump has been the absolute worst.

I love how many people know Jack shit about history.

That's great, you can complain about what people in historical times did.

The fact of the matter is, we *should* have learned from those lessons and advanced beyond that. Trump's presidency was a reflection of lowered, primitive morals. And that's depressing.

Eh, I specifically didnt mention Afghanistan because I think an argument could maybe be made for the USs involvement (to put it lightly) there. With Iraq, I can not think of any justification. That invasion upended the country and resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, although we might never know the full scope of human suffering there. Even if we only consider the monetary loss, the cost to US taxpayers was in the trillions, and of course Iraqs economy was fucked as well.
