Bush: Dealt with 9/11
Obama: Dealt with Bin Laden.
Biden: Dealt with covid.
Trump: Played golf more than any other president in history in his singular first term (which by the way, ALSO included the begining of covid), is the only president to get impeached TWICE (and did it in his singular first term), got 34x convicted for actions that occured DURING his singular first term.
And now he needs a team of security blankets behind him....one of which is his son.....to support him as he CONTINUES to destroy this country, and now the world. Hitler continues to be the single most destructive force the world has ever seen. Trump really feels like he's trying to be a contender for that crown.
I'm as dumbfounded today as I was the day after the election. HOW THE FUCK DID AMERICA ELECT THIS SHITBAG AGAIN???!!!
Okay can we not glorify America's 21st century batch of war criminals?
The list of “American Presidents that weren’t deeply problematic as individuals” is a very short one, and I think the only one I’ve heard a good argument for is ole Jimmy Carter.
But Trump is still magnitudes more problematic than any of the other individuals listed, and it’s whataboutism like yours that led us here.
Whataboutism? What the heck? I'm saying we shouldn't glorify war criminals in response to a comment glorifying war criminals. Glorifying the people who paved the way for fascism is a very bad way to fight fascism.
