trump will only be rated well by right wing ideologues. his "legacy" to even his pals will be abortion and DOGE, shoving through divisive changes in government. those are culture war items. they will flip back later on -- transient politics -- and that's then not much legacy.
as several are saying, he's remarkably poor at doing public minded policies -- as opposed to shoving politics down your throat. warp speed is one of the few things he did that was good for all -- and he's disavowed it. most aspects of day to day governance -- as opposed to flame wars -- he has handled horribly. and did so his first term once covid hit.
not unlike a developer who buys atlantic city casinos then runs them in the ground. he had the money to do things. he can't actually run them well. and he got his money from daddy. everyone gets that but some seem to miss that being a landlord is different than making widgets. you don't have to be smart. you don't have to have a business plan. you just rent space in places where people need to live. there it helps a lot to have money to start with.
there is near zero doubt that trump will always be rated among the very worst presidents. J6 alone will guarantee that. All the crimes and lies and impeachments and wars and senility and trying to destroy elections and complete and utter corruption secure it.
Nobody cares about J6.Just like the 34 sham felonies in New York, November 5th was the real verdict, and he was found not guilty.

His legacy will be historic tax cuts, deregulation, and freedom
If a 78 year old demented weirdo that was an adjudicated rapist came around your 10 year old kids as they were coloring Easter Eggs and started rambling about Autopen and bragging like a child about winning the election, you would call the police and have him removed.
director of CIA is now kissing piggie's rear end more than he's telling us about the rescue. On and on how great piggie is.
this is why we have no kings rallies. No other recent president ever would accept public ass kissing from the CIA director. They are setting up an authoritarian exec branch.
FDR really didn't respect checks and balances or the constitution. His strategy was, like trump, to break things and see what he could get away with. He got stopped by the courts a lot, he was not considered trustworthy, he was deeply polarizing.
but mostly he considered the nation in a big enough crisis that he could be allowed to break rules and norms to get done what he thought needed to be done. trump thinks the same way. That the crisis is big enough that he should be allowed to do anything.
You constantly try to sanewash Trump. You aren't fooling anyone. You're as big of a turd as the other Trump trolls.
That’s way, way too harsh, but I will say that the comment about “crisis” was off the mark. One could find the highest point in even an imaginary perfect American history (or future), and Trump would still absurdly try to justify his authoritarianism with the existence of a crisis.

Everybody knows that the greatest heroes in any military operation are not the people that put their lives on the line. It is the Orange guy that was playing golf and then sh!tposting on his phone throughout the night He deserves all the credit.

No?
Trump today - always hilarious
How did I do with the voters that do eggs? Did you say 100% or 99? Did anybody in the egg industry vote for Kamala? A low IQ person. She's a low IQ person. Who's a lower IQ person - Biden or Kamala?

I completely agree that to the Dems the nation was hardly in crisis.
but to trump, we were. That's why he kept saying 'you're going to lose your country' to immigration and woke.
maga clearly saw whatever the biden admin was as a giant crisis. And if you watch hegseth talking, you see that he's trying to solve the crisis with jesus and evangelism.
you and I and historians may not agree that the nation was in crisis 2021-2025, but maga clearly does think that.
What is a crackpot dictator to do when he starts a war that is historically unpopular and unwanted?
Of course, call it a holy war and say that God is fighting with you as evidenced by the "reborn" rescue on Easter Sunday.
Throughout history God has always appreciated being ordered by insane world leaders to enter their battles. NATO says they aren't joining this one, but God has no say in this one. If a Drunkard fox news host says God is in. He is in.

Jan 6th was a lie. Even Stephen A. Smith, a liberal, has broken it down for those of you who can't use critical, fair and unbiased thinking. You, hussars1776 are in the liberal target group that Stephen A. Smith is trying to reach...but some of you are unreachable as TDS has gone too far.
You say "don't bring up Harris, Biden, Obama or Clinton (s)"....yet you live on January 6th and don't even know the truth.
Un-American? That's 3 months of liberals burning down cities in America. But...on that subject, you are crickets. If the right did that, you'd bring it up every page.

During his two terms in office (2009–2017), President Barack Obama authorized military action, including airstrikes and drone strikes, in at least seven countries. According to reports, primarily based on data from the Council on Foreign Relations, these countries were:

super, this poster thinks the president should refuse to accept the results of a lost election and send a mob to go beat up cops and attack congressmen so they don't do their Constitutional duty to count the electoral college votes.

that's the parallel to FDR.
Trump didn’t think that we were in a crisis. He was, of course, selling snake oil. FDR had the Great Depression. And the greatest war in history. Not snake oil.
To the voters, some significant fraction of MAGA also wouldn’t have claimed that we were in a crisis anywhere near the Depression. The non-MAGA Trump voters would have agreed even more. As for the third group, the MAGA voters who agree with EVERYTHING that Trump claims…..who the hell cares? Do historians keep open the option that Elvis is still alive because 10% of MAGA believes so?

Shoes on the other foot, eh old guy? You voted for Harris. She lost and you can't let go.
Congress authorized those. And they weren't full on wars like this one.
idiot trump and his moran advisors forgot to claim that Iran did 911 to use the AUMF. Idiots.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), passed by Congress on September 14, 2001, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on September 18, 2001, is a joint resolution that authorizes the use of U.S. Armed Forces against those responsible for the September 11 attacks. This act has been used to launch classified military campaigns in at least 22 countries, most notably in Afghanistan, the Philippines, Georgia, Yemen, Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, and Somalia. The AUMF grants the President the authority to use all necessary and appropriate force against those whom he determines "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the September 11 attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups. This law has enabled the U.S. to unilaterally launch military operations across the world without any congressional oversight or transparency for more than two decades

I think you are underestimating the fear and terror maga has of immigrants and mass immigration.
seriously. They absolutely think that the biden-era immigration wave was republic-ending stuff. Like you and I think Trump is potentially republic-ending.
You need to understand that to understand the modern GOP.
Trump on his military advisers: "I was told this is a very dangerous mission. They didn't say it's a foolish mission, they said 'We're gonna be sacrificing hundreds of people to do this.' I just felt it was worth it."

We could quibble over what fraction of MAGA actually believes everything that Trump claims, and which do not. I obviously don’t know the ratio with any fidelity whatsoever.
Apparently, there’s very little that we can do to stop bad/dumb Americans from supporting abominations like Trump.
But I will say that, in the end, being a democracy, which slice of the Trump voter pie you’re in doesn’t REALLY matter. From the very dumbest who believed that an illegal alien murderer was going to bust into their house at any moment, to the wealthier, smarter, better educated person who voted for him for any number of other reasons, they’re all equally to blame.
