Nah, Obama's was just as bad. Worse actually.



The real hidden disaster was Bush1/Clinton. We won the Cold War and instead of the Marshall Plan, Bush1/Clinton moved the world to another Cold War stage with both Russia and China.

DJT term is a red version of Jimmy Carter. Incompetence, out of his league, etc. But not the worst and not as bad as the Bushes. Haven't you heard of Franklin Pierce?
Well Buchanan was probably the worst. Then Pierce.

That's a big, fat, IF.

Trump tried his best to divide the country. Constantly talking about 'democrat states" and trying to determine how he could withhold aid or screw them into oblivion.

He did a really good job of that - as evidenced by January 6.

Obama versus Carter is interesting.

I will say at least Obama had the economy on the right track at the end until Trump made it great with his tax cuts, deregulations

Foreign. He did his handy work over here. He had a hand in the 400,000+ deaths of the virus he said a year ago would magically disappear. About 6 times the US soldiers deaths of the Vietnam war that took about 11 years long. He managed to get the 400,000 deaths by doing nothing in about 1 year.

He did try to start one on the domestic front. His Presidency was the most threat to the homeland.

Trump’s presidency will go down as far worse than W’s.

Because they were uncooperative and subverting the enforcement of immigration laws. Democrats act like they didn't do anything and are not part of the division and they never provoked riots.
