Trump is a historic loser. He lost the congress and the presidency after only one term. Other than his tax cuts for the richest of the rich, judges (largely McConnel's program) and some deregulation at the agency level that can be quickly revered, he failed at everything. He failed to build the wall. He failed to stop illegal immigration. He failed to stop Iran, which is accelerating its nuclear program. He failed to stop North Korea, which continued its missile program. His trade deals did nothing to boost US manufacturing. NAFTA 2.0 was just a technical update of the original NAFTA. US farmers are still suffering from losing imports to China with no breakthrough deal with China despite all the tariffs. And when faced with the challenge of a global pandemic, Trump failed and caused the US to have the worst outcomes of any modern industrialized nation. His ideological movement was so weak that it was coopted by a batsh#t crazy conspiracy theory that included things like JFK Jr. coming back from the dead to arrest globalist pedophiles. And in his last hours when presented with the long standing duty of honoring and respecting the electoral process, Trump embraced a lie of a landslide Trump victory stolen by his own party's officials and caused his followers to attempt a coup against our democracy only to chicken out and leave his followers hanging.
Trump is not the worst president in American history. He was simply too incompetent to do as much harm as others have.
That's pretty interesting that you say that.
I recall getting into a debate with agip on this very thread nearly 4 years ago in which I complained about how awful Trump was or how many terrible things he would accomplish. Agip's response was something to the effect that I shouldn't worry so much because Trump was so incompetent that he wouldn't actually "accomplish" anything. I thought it was pretty funny that agip pointed to Trump's incompetence as his greatest strength.
I think agip was mostly right on that one. I was mostly wrong.
