....Some say James Buchanan (the president before Lincoln) was the worst. I doubt that the Civil War could have been prevented. That war was a series of events that happened over many years. George Bush Jr. had been told that an attack might be coming. He did not take it seriously for lots of reasons that we could go into,but this is not the place.
....Donald Trump had the perspective of seeing what had happened to other countries with the same exact problem: The Virus.. Trump could have talked to leaders of other countries in Europe as to what to do, and when to do it. There were examples for what was about to happen. It happened in other countries, and killed thousands of people. Trump really didn't care, because he did not prepare, given what happened to other countries. He could have clearly learned from others, because others faced the same exact thing.
....Yes, Bush Jr. could have prepared for 9/11 attack, but that was really way out of the perspective of reality. (at least his and most realities) A Civil War in the U.S.A. ? I guess that the South leaving the Union was discussed, but was it going to happen?..(I don't know the exact history before, but I doubt that the kind of war that ensued could not have been expected.. (one in 30 living Americans at the time were killed)...Went on for four years..??
....But what was going to happen because of..."The Virus" was clearly known by other leaders and preventive measures could have been taken. As everyone knows, Trump did "NOTHING." Donald Trump said "it would be gone in a five days.." He could have consulted with other leaders, but obviously he didn't. Trump could have prepared the country, but he didn't. It seemed that all he wanted to do, was stick by his prediction, and have that prediction come through no matter what. He followed up with, "It's under control "But that too was a hideous lie..
.....All he had to do was... go to Europe, talk to our allies and those who went through it there, and prepare as much as possible for the inevitable plague. Trump had a chance to do something, he could have gotten lots of information on what to do and when, but he did ...'"NOTHING"...
....I have even read that he sent thousands of protective devises over seas to other countries because he was sure that we would not need those devises.
....Of course people can argue with this, and that is fine with me.................................
But Trump had a chance to know what was going to happen,(others went through the exact same thing) and totally prepare for that eventuality...And Donald Trump did ...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...
......That is why historians will view Donald Trump as the very worst President ever!!

(38,421 posts)what is happening and will happen. Other countries went through the exact same thing. We knew what was coming, and Trump did ...NOTHING!!!... My guess if the exact same thing was going to happen, and Obama was the President of the U.S.A. at the time, given the same circumstances, Obama would have been up many nights and weeks preparing for the eventual plague. It was coming and was already here. Any really concerned leader would have prepared, and the outcome would have been different in my opinion. Trump did even care enough to talk to other leaders to gain a perspective of what could and would happen. Why?
.Only 2 possible reasons: A) Trump was sure it wasn't going to happen here B) He didn't care what was going to happen here.

(38,421 posts)... Yes, if Trump avoids a war, that will obviously be a positive accomplishment. I sure hope he avoids a shooting war with some country. Once could argue we are at "war" with the "Virus" and the "Virus" as
run over the U.S.A.

(14,150 posts)Another thing trDump thought he had going for him,... he figured Reagan ignored the Aids crisis for a few years and just let people die. trDump figured he could get away with the same approach. Just ignore it,... once the warn weather came along it would fade off like the flu.
Then he would be golden. Minimal disruptions. The economy would be rolling along nicely once again. He could get back to his Nazi Rallies five times a week. Then sail into his second term come November.

(7,403 posts)Trump still tops the list by a wide margin. I would list Hoover 2nd worst though.

(14,565 posts)The lies and ignorance are nothing but a daily blend these days. Singular acts that would sink other presidents are not even a major news story with Trump. But once normalcy restores -- or as close as we can get -- the lens steadily clears and more and more analysts will be aghast, along with historians who have known all along.
The term Worst of All Time will stick to Trump as soon as the election result is obvious.
If he's stunned as low popularity now, just wait until he senses he's become an eternal laughingstock. Obama will be doing interviews again, etc. The White House Correspondents Dinner will be renewed with wire to wire mockery of Trump.
If there's one thing I am good at it is projecting situational influence
