“Trump was the first president to be impeached twice and the first to stir up a mob to try to attack the Capitol and disrupt his successor from becoming president,” said Eric Rauchway, professor of history at the University of California, Davis. “These will definitely go down in history books, and they are not good.”

“I already feel that he is the worst,” said Ted Widmer, professor of history at the City University of New York, noting that as bad as Buchanan was — and he was very bad indeed — he was “not as aggressively bad as Trump.”

Lower than dog shit. His convictions will see him loiter near the bottom like the other scumsuckers.

No one thinks that.

He served only one term, and got beat handily in his bid for re-election. He left a nation more divided than ever, with the worst economy in decades, highest unemployment, most small businesses lost, and an utter failure at responding to the only real crisis of his administration.

On every level, he was one of our worst Presidents. He was in over his head from day 1, and completely incompetent.
 
Trump will be at the bottom. Historians were using about that the last year or so. His inciting a riot that trashed the capital and resulted in 5 deaths will not raise his score.

most of that's from lockdowns, which dems clearly loved more.

that's debateable reasoning, but you concur that dems were more pro lockdown. thanks.

Anyone who cared about this country was in favor of a lockdown. Had Trump dealt properly with the pandemic from day 1, we wouldn't have over 400,000 dead and its possible that he would have been re elected.

it was mostly dems. the reasons they wanted it are debateable. you think they care more. I think they're more malleable to destructive manipulations. we can agree to disagree on that.

Just throwing that Tweet out there lol.

Trump will be viewed by future historians much, much, better than the media narrative.

He was the first President of the young century that stopped the bleeding in the Middle East. He produced a record setting economy that gave jobs to a record number of blacks and minorities.

He led a populist uprising against the established elite of both parties and the media. He reformed a calcified Republican Party into a party built around economic ‘America First’ nationalism that brought in millions of new minority voters—especially new Hispanic voters in spite of being unfairly maligned by a hostile media as a racist.

The degradation of the media in the Trump years will get its own chapter.

But his presidency was derailed by a virus that was either released from China or was allowed to escape from China as the murderous communist regime dithered and lied to the United States and the world about it. He was very likely denied a second term only on account of China’s duplicity and his opponents success in scapegoating his administration for its effects on the economy and it’s death toll.

And in what turned out to be an historic political miscalculation on his part, Trump fought to the end over the results of the 2020 election which itself, will get its own chapter.

Overall, the Trump presidency will be remembered as easily the most consequential presidency of the last 50 years. And arguably the most consequential single term of any presidency in history.
