"Of all the things President Trump has destroyed, the Republican Party is among the most dismaying.
“Destroyed” is perhaps too simplistic, though. It would be more precise to say that Mr. Trump accelerated his party’s demise, exposing the rot that has been eating at its core for decades and leaving it a hollowed-out shell devoid of ideas, values or integrity, committed solely to preserving its own power even at the expense of democratic norms, institutions and ideals.
Tomato, tomahto. However you characterize it, the Republican Party’s dissolution under Mr. Trump is bad for American democracy.
A healthy political system needs robust, competing parties to give citizens a choice of ideological, governing and policy visions. More specifically, center-right parties have long been crucial to the health of modern liberal democracies, according to the Harvard political scientist Daniel Ziblatt’s study of the emergence of democracy in Western Europe. Among other benefits, a strong center right can co-opt more palatable aspects of the far right, isolating and draining energy from the more radical elements that threaten to destabilize the system...."

There is no question, Trump will go down in our history as one of the worst, time to move America forward again. But bravo bravo all those who voted for Biden / Harris.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." Dwight D. Eisenhower

This is too funny not to share, Trump and Giuliani must have thought this was the Four Seasons in downtown Philly, a high class restaurant hotel, instead it is a lawn company in remote Philly. Too funny. What a dumb administration this is and they prove it daily.

Gotta give Trump credit, he plays his base well. He lies they pay, he golfs they pay, he visits his Florida golf course, we all pay. But now his cult following want to destroy democracy to keep Donnie in power. The so called conservative Trump base belong in a banana republic as they are not democracy loving Americans.

Does anyone know enough history to judge whether Trump is our worst president? He certainly would hands down win the 'Liar in Chief' award. Personally I always though Hoover and Coolidge among the worst and maybe Jackson for his treatment of Indians. But your thoughts.

For those who have read, 'The Making of Donald Trump' nothing should surprise. But this piece in the Guardian confirms other aspects of a man who became president but is still a child. And where to now Mike Pence, did you sell your soul or did you always lack one?
"It was not just May who found Trump unsettling: to European diplomatic observers, he seemed a “strange creature”. And he also triggered alarm among some American officials in the room with him, with one defence official noting that the president’s notoriously short attention span suggested a “squirrel careening through the traffic”."

No. That was FDR, for overthrowing our Constitution and creating the culture of progressivism that infects the nation to this day.
Mr. Trump was actually a pretty good president. He helped to uphold the Second Amendment. Hopefully he will be reelected in 2024.
It's not so much a grievance as it is we don't like having our civil liberties violated, and we also don't like the idea of getting raped and murdered.
Since that's all that progressivism offers to us, we vote for the other choice.
----------------------------------------------------
He ordered the National Guard to step in and restore order.
Unfortunately progressive traitors in the government subverted the order.

America needs to smash up one of the little countries every few years just to remind the rest of the world what we will do to them if they cross us.

I'm interested midcan5, what in your opinion--or if you want to use links, etc.--were the five worst things Trump did as president? Could you make a list of those specific things for us?

'There is no understanding Donald Trump without understanding his rallies.'

It is at his rallies that his radical reimagining of the US constitution takes shape: not 'We the people', but 'We my people'."

I read through those lists. Most of the stuff on there was so marginal and minor as to be laughable. Trump insulted someone? So fucking what? Every politician does crap like that, some more than others. Yes, I get it. Trump is a world-class asshole and troll. He's an arrogant braggard and blowhard. That doesn't make him some evil baby eating mass murderer though.
