At the very bottom of the list. The list will f great presidents.

But if you compile a list of worst presidents, THEN he zooms straight to the top.

Technically, though, he shouldn’t qualify for this because he got to the White House illegitimately. He CHEATED. Using the help of a foreign ADVERSARY.

Everything else should be repealed, revoked, torn down (wall) or otherwise obliterated from history. ALL of his judicial appointments should have an asterisk, to follow every action they take, every decision they make.

But history is written by the victors. Give Trump a second term and Stephen Miller will be the chief historian and Trump will emerge as a great emancipator, more popular even than George or Abe and held up as a shining and "chosen" contrast to the sinners who preceded him.

He must be defeated in November or America, past, present, and future, is dead.

......was a slave holder. The biggest slave holder and thereby, the richest man in America, at that time.

Maybe they tell the truth about our history in High School in this era. But I doubt it.

Not obvious to me how all this hagiography is much different from revering Confederate statues and flags in the South, without ever facing what really happened.

Country has a big problem. If we were to tell the truth it would be an earthquake within our received myths. At least for white people.

Slavery was pretty common in the North until the early 1800's, and was still legal in many northern states until the 13th Amendment was passed, after the Civil War.

Yeah, US History has been largely white washed in our typical school curriculum.

slavery was pretty common all over the world, in almost every culture and country, until the last few hundred years. Personally, I cannot condemn, nor do I condone, the fact many Founding Fathers owned slaves. It was the prevailing culture when they lived.

They didn't whitewash the fact he owned slaves. It did point out that the one person Washington relied on and confided in was his personal slave , last name Lee - can't remember his first name , who traveled with him in the early days of the Revolution.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/412192-carly-fiorina-condemns-trumps-horseface-attack-against-stormy-daniels

Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Thursday denounced President Trump for referring to Stormy Daniels as a “horseface,” saying it brought political insults to a “new low.”

Fiorina, who campaigned against Trump during the 2016 GOP presidential primary, appeared on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” to discuss Trump’s attacks on the adult-film star.

"I think the habit of insulting one's political enemies is unfortunately long standing in this country, and he has brought it to a new low," Fiorina said.

Fiorina also faced insults on her appearance from Trump during the 2016 Republican Primaries.

“Look at that face," then-candidate Trump told Rolling Stone of Fiorina. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?”

The Stormy and Fiorina insults were among the first I noticed. They were so shocking at the time they just stuck in my mind. Unfortunately. Won't it be great when he's off the tv and front pages of the newspapers. Can't be soon enough.

He's really a shallow person. Maybe the most shallow in history--and not just in politics.

If People Magazine had been around in 1860, would Abe be the sexiest man alive? America voted for him anyway. Sure, they were all white males, but he won nonetheless.

With Trump's yellow hair, orange face and red neck, we can call him Froot Loops.

25% is vomitous inducing. In this case, 3 out of 4 is not nearly good enough. Let us change the equation - November 3rd, 2020.

Get the vote out or it might get you.
