Trump is the worst president in American history

Grim Reaper

Chief Exit Officer (CEO)

The article argues that Donald Trump is, in the author’s view, “the worst president ever” based on several themes the writer lays out. It frames this as an opinion grounded in the author’s interpretation of Trump’s actions, rhetoric, and impact on American institutions.

Here are the core points the article makes:

  • Damage to democratic norms: The author claims Trump repeatedly undermined trust in elections, institutions, and the rule of law, portraying this as unprecedented in modern U.S. history.
  • Handling of national crises: The piece criticizes Trump’s approach to major events during his presidency, arguing that his decisions worsened national divisions and weakened public confidence.
  • Leadership style and conduct: The writer describes Trump’s behavior as chaotic, self‑interested, and antagonistic, suggesting it harmed both domestic governance and America’s global reputation.
  • Long‑term consequences: The article argues that Trump’s influence continues to shape political polarization and institutional instability, which the author views as part of his negative legacy.
  • Comparison to past presidents: While not providing a systematic ranking, the author asserts that no previous president, in their view, caused comparable institutional and cultural damage.

The author is a TDS deranged idiot with no sense or knowledge of history.

On his last point:

Let's see:

Buchanan let a civil war start and go hot.

Wilson studiously ignored the war in Europe (WW 1) and when finally forced into it led a nation that was totally unprepared. He was then kicked to the curb by the Europeans in the peace negotiations that followed.

Grant and Harding ran two of the most corrupt administrations in US history.

Biden, a one-term president presided over what is likely the worst single period for any modern President.

LBJ lied to get the US into Vietnam, his Great Society was a disastrous failure, and the nation was thrown into chaos with rioting and such.

The article's author is an idiot.

You didn’t actually respond to anything in the article, you just launched straight into a greatest‑hits compilation of historical name‑drops and personal insults like that somehow substitutes for an argument. You’re swinging at ghosts because it’s easier than addressing the points in front of you. If you had a real counter, you’d make it instead of padding your post with random presidents and calling the author an idiot like that magically proves something.

I could have, but it'd be a waste of time as the article is so poorly thought out. Picking it apart sentence by sentence is not worth anyone's time. That's how poorly it's written. It is, quite literally, TDS from end to end. There are whole paragraphs of nothing but generalities sprinkled with anecdote.

calling the article too poorly written to bother with isn’t critique, it’s you bailing out and pretending it’s strategy. If you actually had a counter, you wouldn’t be hiding behind a buzzword and a shrug.

Yet another thread dedicated to TDS. *yawn*

Calling it TDS isn’t an argument, it’s a snooze button you slap whenever you don’t want to deal with the actual content in front of you. You didn’t refute anything, you didn’t challenge anything, you didn’t even pretend to engage, you just tossed out your pre‑canned dismissal and hoped nobody would notice you’ve got nothing else loaded.

It’s the rhetorical equivalent of fake‑yawning in class so the teacher won’t call on you.

If you were actually bored, you’d scroll past. But you’re here, replying, performing your little too cool to care routine while clearly caring enough to jump in.
 
Calling it TDS isn’t an argument,
Yes it is.

No. It's your TDS.

TDS is due to a religion I call it the Church of Hate.

You aren't even in class.

It is your TDS, Sybil. It is your problem. Be aware that TDS can be lethal. It has resulted in death of several already.

you’re just stuck in a loop, slapping TDS on everything like a toddler who learned one new word and won’t stop shouting it. You keep repeating the same line so many times it’s starting to sound like you’re trying to convince yourself, not me. At this point you’re basically arguing by autopilot glitch.

Apparently, showing concern and disagreement with someone that effects every aspect of American life is a derangement. It's funny they rely on this defense, because if anyone is deranged or mentally ill, it's these MAGA moobs.

Amazing how fast and conveniently some folks forget they spent four straight years melting down over every headline like it was a personal attack.

Did any of us diagnose them with some dramatic syndrome? No. We just watched them cry about it on loop and kept it moving.

They want to compare a base impulse that all humans have when someone makes things difficult for you, with a mental illness. They expect lockstep, because that is what they are doing with Trump. They act like a little kid when someone was mean to Daddy.

No convicted felon every became President. Just for a start.
 
Grant was the worst, at least for the Union and how it works. The word "lobbyist" was created to describe the people who paid for access during his term. They would pay for access and sit around the WH lobby... hence "lobbyist"...
