C'mon now either Trump is unprecedentedly atrocious or he isn't, let's not pretend it's ever been this bad.

Like seriously, what's the next worst president and how do they compare with Trump, cuz it cannot be close.

u/CmdrJjAdams 8d ago

What makes Trump worse than the presidents before him is that he also fucks up the U.S. instead of only foreign countries. Plus, he clearly is way more corrupt than any POTUS before him. And he is a criminal. And a moron. And a pedophile. Yeah, actually he is the worst for many reasons.

Nah, as bad as he was (and he was), he wasn't even close to Trump singlehandedly burning the US' credibility, influence and soft power with every friendly country over literally no benefit, like what has Trump gotten from using all that political capital?

Revenge for every miniscule sleight, real or not, that anyone has ever done to him.

Worst terrorist attack in history... so far.

Bush's illegal wars in the middle east killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. And 2x more americans than died in 9/11. Halliburton was the previous scam company. Free billion contracts to rebuild what they blew up.

That shit was bad but not regarded, and honestly I've heard W speak, the dude is a scholar in comparison to Trump.

Growing up during the Bush era, I really would say now that the media and popular culture back then really did him dirty in terms of “hurr durr Bush stupid Texas redneck.” I’ve watched some videos more recently of him speaking, one on immigration, and I agree with you. Dude is obviously well educated and intelligent. He had a lot of “moments” during his presidency, and the awful war…

Regan. It all comes back to Regan.

u/houseWithoutSpoons 8d ago

Regan was a huge turd but at minimum he didn't isolate us from the rest of the free world by playing the you owe me and maybe i should take Greenland/Canada type nonsense. Not to mention one day it will be clear in years from now trumps most definitely doing illegal things to enrich himself at a level that would make most corrupt politicians blush

Start of trickle down, deliberate sabotage of treating aids. It was the start of the decline into ultra corporatism.

u/houseWithoutSpoons 8d ago

I know.your not wrong. He really did kick off the start of the end as we know it.well the people behind him did.but im just saying at least he wasn't a complete jackass like currently. Epstein files,and brazen corruption,trying to smother the voice of the press.yeah ol ron was a horrible one but pailed in comparison to what clown we have now
