(23,088 posts)He was elected twice. He had a scandal free presidency. He wasn't perfect, but he did pretty well. He was liked around the world. He was articulate and compassionate. He is incredibly intelligent. He respected the constitution and the separation of powers. He surrounded himself with brilliant people and not with sycophants.
And now we have a racist evil cabal in charge.

But when we think of a convergence of industrial-strength stupid, record-breaking crazy, and Biblical evil, Trump and his orcs have all three of those douchebags beat by a country lightyear.

He's won a title he richly deserves and his infamous legacy will survive long after his dirt nap.
