is there a greater national embarrassment in our country's history

[NRaleighLiberal]

than trump and his entire "performance" with regard to the COVID-19 tragedy?

anyone? I can't think of any. Maybe Hoover and the depression and Dubya's Katrina fiasco come close. Maybe not all that close.

As someone said in an earlier OP, 3.5 years and somehow every day feels worse. It has outdone himself with this one.

1. It is a weird time to be alive in our country today. Our founding fathers would have been

embarrassed beyond belief.

These paper patriots of Cult45 make me ashamed to call myself an American.

2. I'd nominate the murderous treatment of the American Indians that still continues or perhaps

that human slavery was not cast aside and ratified from the 1st signing into the new-formed United States of America and leaving behind a segment of the population, now spread far and wide, with rabid rascism.

He's definitely the worst POTUS eveh, no question there...there's not a decent attribute I could tag to his character or leadership!

14. excellent comment. thanks.

3. Well, Teapot Dome, Johnstown Flood, dogs and firehoses set on civil rights marchers...

Trail of Tears, Triangle Shirtwaist Fire...

Need I go on? No nation will ever be above evil or stupidity for long, although climbing back up is seen as a good thing. This time, though, we're living it, not reading about it.

13. great additions. thanks.

4. It 's such an outrage every damned day,

and that is only what we hear about in media. Dangerous entity 45, is a bottomless pit of depravity. November can't get here fast enough. He is non-stop, he's the embodiment hell itself.

5. The short answer: No, there hasn't been.

[fescuerescue]

11. I think slavery was worse.

[Blue Owl]

6. No excuse for it in today's day and age

Fuck tRump and the dick he rode in on

8. not in my memory or knowledge of history (which admittedly is not the greatest)

he sure makes geedubya look like a genius statesman now.

[fescuerescue]

9. Slavery should be on your list.

Putting Asian-Americans into concentration camps is another.

Treatment of American Indians.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. yes, thank you. you are correct.

[kairos12]

10. Raygun and HiV was arguably worse.

15. In a perfect world the loser republicans would ask

The house to bring up 2nd articles of impeachment so they could vote him out this time. But as we know they are spineless weasels.

16. He's been our greatest embarrassment since 2016.
