I have never thought that Donald Trump is fit to hold any political office, much less the Presidency of the United States. Nevertheless, his MAGA followers have said, time and time again, that he’s the greatest President in all American history.
I disagree vehemently with that assessment. Instead, I believe that he’s the worst President we’ve ever had, much worse than Andrew Johnson, Warren G. Harding, James Buchanan, or even Richard Nixon.
Behold! Exhibit A:
Agreed. Didn’t think it possible, but 45/47 worse than Nixon and/or Reagan. Pitiful!!! Thanks for sharing, Alex.
And I thought they wouldn’t get any worse than Nixon. Young and innocent me thought the country wouldn’t have to go through anything worse than the Vietnam War or Watergate. Way to prove me wrong.
I’m not a Republican/conservative voter, nor am I an expert on America’s right, but I think that instead of changing course, politically speaking, the hardliners in the GOP looked at how narrowly RMN came to being impeached (and convicted) in 1974 – and started the process that gave us the Reagan-to-Trump path that we are on now.
I’m also not a conspiracy theorist, but the evolution (or is it “devolution?) of the GOP over the past half-century tells me that TPB who loved Nixon back in the 1960s and ’70s looked at all the things that went wrong for the right between JFK’s election in 1960 and the Watergate scandal in 1972 and swore, “Never again.” By undermining the free press and getting conservative voters to detest liberals and “Big Government” between 1974 and now, those bitter Nixon allies and admirers (including Ben Stein, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch) charted the twisty and often bumpy path from Nixon’s decline and fall to the rise of Trumpism.
