I'll take the arrows. Trump makes all his predecessors look good.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

That's why some of us mourn their passing. I'm not a presidential historian but the only presidents who rival Trump in unmitigated and unvarnished evil are the two Andrews, Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson, and even the horrors they inflicted can partially be explained by the fact they were products of their time. Trump has no redeeming qualities, none, nada, zip...

It's no coincidence Trump reveres Andrew Jackson.

[beachbum bob]

1. trump will be remembered in history as the fluke presidency, pure contempt of America

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. His presidency will be an indelible stain on our nation.

[beachbum bob]

21. it will rank right behind SLAVERY

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. That was by far the worst practice. Trump is the worst president.

[dalton99a]

23. Trump is a veritable abomination - a monster and a traitor.

[Siwsan]

2. I absolutely agree with you

trump* is a true and pathological misanthrope. I can't think of one single redeeming quality possessed by that individual.

[Bob Loblaw]

4. He exhales carbon dioxide

and that's beneficial to plants.

[Siwsan]

8. Blast you for pointing that out!! Now he's just 99.9999999% vile!

[Bob Loblaw]

13. Take heart

If he finds out, he might hold his breath 'til he passes out.

[USALiberal]

5. I agree, and am shocked how good Bush 1 and 2 look now. Cheney still is Satan IMO. nt

[Siwsan]

10. Amen to that

IMHO, Cheney is trump*'s doppelganger.

[USALiberal]

18. Yep!!!! nt

[ronatchig]

34. I was telling a friend

just the other day, that I had thought when Obama was elected ,that I would not live to see a worse pres. than Bushler but boy was I wrong.

[dembotoz]

14. ronnie was vile

[UniteFightBack]

16. He welcomed immigrants. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. This is true.

[dembotoz]

37. still vile

[snowybirdie]

7. Trump

revered Andrew Jackson. Andrew Johnson was almost impeached, don't think he wants to mention him!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I suspect he reveres Andrew Jackson because all he knows was that Jackson was a "man of the people".

[marylandblue]

19. I think Trump likes that Jackson was an ill-mannered boor.

And I'm pretty sure he larned about Jackson from Steve Bannon.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. LBJ was earthy

[raging moderate]

9. Well, and there was also James Buchanan.

James Buchanan: The President who helped to jump-start the Civil War. Not to mention the Bush/Cheney regime's Iraq/Afghanistan war, which has killed perhaps 100,000 people. Nevertheless, you are right, the optics of the Trump presidency are much worse. He does make them look good.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Buchanan was incompetent. He didn't know how to prevent a civil war so he did nothing.

Incompetence isn't evil, it's incompetence.

[dsc]

20. what did Buchanan have to do with Afghanistan and Iraq

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. Nothing. It was an analogy.

a·nal·o·gy
/əˈnaləjē/
noun
a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
"an analogy between the workings of nature and those of human societies"
a correspondence or partial similarity.
"the syndrome is called deep dysgraphia because of its analogy to deep dyslexia"
a thing that is comparable to something else in significant respects.
"works of art were seen as an analogy for works of nature"

[edhopper]

12. W was a horrendous President in every aspect

he killed hundreds of thousands and crashed the Economy.

Trump is a truly abhorrent human being, but GW Bush did nothing redeemable.

[lark]

24. Are you sure it's not Andrew Jackson he reveres?

He's the one whose picture he had installed in a very prominent place of honor because he was his hero, not Andrew Johnson.

[NotASurfer]

25. What arrows?

You're entirely right about this. By comparison to the Festering Orange Blob of Id, Dubya spoke with grace, eloquence, and wisdom every time he opened his mouth

By comparison. Of course looking at Presidents Clinton and Obama puts Dubya in proper perspective

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Outside of say, Hitler, there aren't many graves I'd like to dance on.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Trump's, when it becomes available.

Maybe Dick Cheney's. That's about it.

[NCjack]

26. Trump is awful president. I like presidents who weren't

captured by the Russians.

[Midnightwalk]

28. Long walk down

I see Trump as gangrenous oozing pustule that may burst and kill us. It grew out of internal corruption which continues to feed and support it. No surprise our system finds it hard to fight back.

We didn't get here overnight. The racist southern strategy, the moral majority, aligning with evangelicals, denying in turn embryology, ozone depletion, cigarettes causing cancer, climate change, or any science that gets in the way of profit. Scuttling the peace talks, Watergate,
Iran contra, the bumbling and the first Iraq war, Gingrich and Delay, Clinton Impeachment, the second Iraq war.

It's like a long walk down a mountainside. When you look at your surroundings you see the top of the ridge where you just were and think that was pretty high up there. We've been on this trail for a very long time, and were higher than that ridge.

Bush was one of the guides on the trail downhill. I feel no joy, no mourning, only deep regret we didn't find a different path.

[underpants]

32. He makes a lump of shit look good

Just saying

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. That's one of the lowest bars in history.

You seem to be forgetting an awful lot of SHIT and HARM Raygun, Bush 1 and the war criminal bush Jr did to this country. It is, however, your right to have selective memory.

[Gothmog]

35. Only one person CLEARLY benefits from Trump's presidency: JAMES BUCHANAN

Link to tweet

[Kaleva]

36. Agree.

[Downtown Hound]

38. Stable perhaps. Not good.

Dubya will NEVER look good to me no matter who he's compared to.

[BlueStater]

39. I agree with you.

This nightmare we're living in now has made us long for the days when a president conducted himself with even a modicum of dignity and empathy. It was only a mere 22 months ago, but it feels like it's been an eternity.

George Herbert Walker Bush was far from a perfect man, but I would take him in a heartbeat compared to what we have now.
