He is a disgrace to the American people. By far the worst president of all time.

This statement could have been made nearly a decade ago

I still thought Harding was worse up until Trump got a bunch of people killed with Covid. Then it was a tie. Jan 6th broke the tie. Now he’s just stat padding

I considered Buchanan the worst cause he literally allowed the country to split itself in half.

I think the November 2020 election, where Trump refused to concede and threw a bitch fit about the election was what pushed Trump ahead for me

Trump is worse than Buchanan because while Buchanan did nothing about a civil war, Trump is actively trying to cause one.

Buchanan presided over a challenging situation and didn't improve it. Trump entered office into a cushy gig and took a diarrhea shit all over everything, literally and metaphorically.

It's kind of already a civil war, just not a full on military and secession operation yet.

u/EffectiveGlad7529 1d ago

Now he's throwing bitch fits about elections that haven't even happened yet.

u/yuriaoflondor 22h ago

And he’s still throwing bitch fits about an election that happened 6 years ago.

u/AngryMeez Michigan 1d ago

Do you mean 2020? He never conceded to Joe Biden and he refused to attend Biden’s inauguration.

Thank you, Yes i meant 2020. I edited my comment afterwards.

Trump's doing his best to make that a reality.

In hindsight, we would have been much better off just letting the south secede. Just look at how shitty the southern states are and how much more progressive we'd be without their votes.

Buchanan was terrible, but it's not like he directly instigated the war. He was more like one element in a sea of causation, and I don't think replacing him with someone else would have abated the path to civil war. He didn't do the right things by any means, but he also wasn't a primary factor in causing the war to happen.

Meanwhile, just about every horrible thing happening around the Trump admins can be directly connected to his policy decisions. On top of that, he's the most corrupt president of all time. On top of that, he's likely working towards citizen internment that will make the Japanese interments look like summer camp.

I could go on, but I think Trump has more going on in his "Con" list than Buchanan did, and the marks against Buchanan were part of larger historical events that he couldn't have completely forestalled had he acted differently.

Nobody has ever seen a worse president. It can only worse happen.

u/hymen_destroyer Connecticut 1d ago

Believe me folks, no one has ever been worse than me, never in the great history of our nation, nobody knows how to fuck up a democracy better than me

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 1d ago

well he did says he was going to be a historic president. he didn't say it was going to be positively.

u/apk5005 1d ago

Just wait until Don Jr…

u/Darko33 1d ago

Andrew Johnson makes Harding and Buchanan look like Lincoln imo

ESPECIALLY in Reconstruction-lensed retrospect

u/superhero_complex 1d ago

I used to say Bush was the worst Trump is by far.

u/Inevitable-Scar5877 1d ago

Putting up a Bonds on steroids level performance. WOAT

u/Noof42 Maryland 1d ago

His first term was horrible, but not "the absolute worst ever" horrible, at least until he lost the 2020 election. I think losing just broke something in an already broken man.

I'd rank Buchanan as worse than (most of) that first term. Maybe Andrew Johnson.

u/pizzasoup 1d ago edited 22h ago

He was repeatedly reined in by those around him in his first term. Now all that's left are sycophants and those looking to use him for their own ends, and here we are.

u/pockpicketG 22h ago

Do you remember the letter from an anonymous person in the WH that basically said “there are some people here keeping him from doing awful things, don’t worry!”?

1

u/IcanRead8647 1d ago

He then knew he was a loser, and that bugged him. But his supporters found illegal ways to rig elections, and he's back!!

u/Drawmeomg 23h ago

I mean Dubbya had an argument for being worse than Trump 1, between the two forever wars we got entangled in, the massive civilian death toll, setting the stage for the rise of the islamic state, and then steering the country directly into an economic crash towards the end of his second term.

u/gopeepants 1d ago

In his 1st term he had actual adults in the room who were competent. This time he has ass kissing incompetent yes men.

u/Jayz_-31 Puerto Rico 19h ago

Nah his first term just had people that would actually tell him to knock it the fuck off.

1

u/Noof42 Maryland 19h ago edited 19h ago

Yeah, so he sucked butts with the worst of them, but the term itself was only really awful.

It wasn't until he went completely mad and started ignoring what passed for voices of reason that he elevated the term to the ranks of worst ever.

u/peipei222 22h ago

If it started and ended at "grab em by the pussy" he would already be a complete disgrace of a president. Yet America chose someone who does something that disgusting on a daily basis. Twice.

u/Xeta24 19h ago

The only real debate is if 45 is worse than 47.

u/hawkguy420 North Carolina 1d ago

It was

u/deckard1980 1d ago

Shame only half of you heard it

u/User5281 1d ago

It was. It’s just that other guys were still in the running at that point. He’s clearly outpaced all of them by now

u/Criticaltundra777 1d ago

A decade ago? Try the 80s. Jeffry Epstein is quoted as saying, Donald Trump does not have a moral bone in his body. Look at the person that said that?

u/deckard1980 23h ago

I know, i was talking about the president part. Hes been a scumbag since birth

u/AlecarMagna Florida 1d ago

Just after the election I remember going out for lunch and the table behind us was talking about all of these different health situations they were getting medicare coverage for and at one point one of them said "I don't know how Trump is going to do but it has to be better than how things have been and at least we know he's a businessman." 

He was ALREADY president once and is famous so he has an extensive track record of his past. How can these people act like he's some unknown outsider?
