The very worst of all time!

Is there really any doubt? Who is the worst president of all time?

We hear today that even Albania is protesting one of his family resorts. His greed knows no bounds. He has no governor on his mouth. He has bullshit his way thru life, convinced his theft and grift are something to be proud of.

But, those that voted for him say they liked his policies. Yeah, the policies that have added one-third of our entire national debt, most of it going for tax breaks for himself and his wealthy friends. Is it any wonder they are always kissing his ass.

The number one priority of the American people should be to tear down every single monument he has created for himself. He should be planted by his wife on the golf course and forgotten about.

I have read allegations that he helped some of his fellow pro-slavery people stockpile ammunition and supplies for the Civil War they were planning.

The men above did some rotten, illegal things, but they would have blushed at the mere suggestion of the things Donald Trump has actually gotten away with.

On the other hand, if they had had the Congressional Republicans and Supreme Court of today, who knows how far they too would have pushed to envelope.

Translation: FUCK EVERY ELECTED REPUBLICAN AND THE PARTISAN HACKS IN ROBES FOR ALLOWING TRUMP TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY!

Trump, however is. He is in cahoots with our lifelong mortal enemy, Russia.

With all their mortal flaws, they did not sink to the human level of Donald Trump. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

reminder of his #1’enabler,’ Senator Mitch McTurtle.
HE is the one that stacked the Supremes for him, as well as killed the momentum to impeach the orange beast both times.
NEVER forget HIS role in all of this mess!

cabinet did some corruption and he trusted people he shouldn't have. Most of the allegations of corruption came from the confederacy trying to reestablish itself. Ron Chernow's Grant is the definitive book on the subject.

They could never accept Obama as president so they went all scorched earth on America and now they can't stop themselves. There are no brakes on the runaway train.
