I've got zero concept of why you are under the impression that I was stating that Krugman was comparing Reagan or Nixon or anyone except as a lame tangent to launch your rebuttal from. Sure isn't what I said.
That said, a B- is no less absurd for the same reasons the A is a joke. Race to the Bottom alone merits a C- at best, the civil liberties assaults should be auto fail, blatant and willful violation of the oath of office.
Even grading kindly on the obstruction curve, a C- is all he merits. Look at those cabinets he has appointed, looks like left to his own devices not much would be different. Maybe a minor additional stimulus chock full of ineffective tax cuts, less stupid on extending unemployment benefits, a fascist "infrastructure bank".
Still would be blowing the banks, still would be fracking like T. Boone was President, TeaPubliKlans haven't held up education, deform an iota, Treasury, Interior, Education, Energy, and Commerce would still be corporate subsidiaries. 8th you have never been a Thug then it is don't call us, we'll call you for anything defense related.
TeaPubliKlans aren't forcing drones and clandestine shenanigans other than loving them as always.
I see what he does in areas where he has a free hand and it is far from encouraging.
