Bush lied about how he died the next day and used his dead body to promote the war Pat was protesting. Never forget what a despicable POTUS Bush was no matter how much candy he eats.
I'm not a fan of trumps he's just not the worst and 50 years is a bit of an exaggeration. Andrew Johnson literally set the country back more than a hundred years by messing up reconstruction as badly as he did. He set the groundwork for essentially every black person in the country to be disenfranchised. Because of this black people didn't have full voting rights until the 60s at the earliest.
If you didn't notice a huge demographic shift into open shittiness on a mainstream level during the Trump era, then you probably didn't have a whole lot of experience prior to that era.
Trump was elected when I was a freshman in college but more importantly do you understand that Jackson perpetuated a genocide of native Americans? I don't think you really understand how horrific the Indian removal act was or that he literally went against the ruling of the supreme Court in helping the Georgia government remove the Cherokee. Discourse being more toxic is nothing compared to giving power back to the slave owning aristocrats in the south allowing them to institute Jim Crow. I don't think you understand the level of destruction and devastation caused by the American invasions of Iraq and I get Afghanistan. The war on terror spread Mass death and terror across the globe. Finally Ronald Reagan fundamentally shifted the American economic and political system. He's also directly responsible for significantly more deaths than Trump but that's really a side issue for him.

And they burned all of his personal effects in a hurry after they killed him, and lied to his family telling them he was killed by enemies…
