In early July 2025, a supposed quote by Ty Cobb, a lawyer and former member of the White House legal team during the first administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, circulated online. In it, Cobb allegedly said Trump was "worse than anyone in our history."
The post, which included a photograph of Cobb, read in part:
[Trump} (sic) is worse than anyone in our history in my experience and opinion. As people seem to have forgotten, I was very critical of Biden and despite knowing him and his family well, I spent 4 years writing about his cognitive decline and weak foreign policy. He had competent advisors though including very decent men as AG and head of the FBI. While you could fairly question their effectiveness you couldn't doubt their character. Trump has real contempt for the country, appoints wholly unqualified people to key positions and just kicked 12 million people off Medicaid, eliminated child food support and killed worldwide healthcare efforts monitoring pandemic producing diseases including Ebola (among countless other dangerous things).
