Trump went bankrupt four times, leaving creditors and tax payers to pick up the tab. As president, he left 500,000 dead civilians in his wake, a booming economy left by Obama was left in shambles by Trump and the US military degraded under Trump - the US Navy in disarray. He failed to get a deal with NK while canceling war games with SK. While Trump was being played like a fiddle by NK, by 2019, NK had fired at least 25 ballistic missiles in 13 launches, that includes short range and sub based missiles. It continued to import and flout UN sanctions to develop its military infrastructure. In his private life he has had serial marriages and serial affairs.
In short, no president has ever left the US in weaker condition. If that is success, what's failure?
He had nothing to do with the deaths beth. That was China.
Usually a well rounded historian would look at all candidates .
I suppose if you are short term memory then you'd only assess your current limited knowledge.
Voted no since I'm fair of mind.
Sure, like taking bribes from communist China. That beats out Nixon by a mile.
It does not matter to the Left because they don't care what the majority wants or needs. They are pushing Marxism full tilt and it looks like they will win.

There appears to never be more than 10% or so of the people pushing CRT and even within those numbers even less, maybe most, do not understand the ideology. The ideology specifically targeted the liberal left by using their language, changing the meanings of words, and then foisting then on the rest of society. They have a louder voice because they’ve positioned themselves in places of power (see Bella Dodd’s testimony).
Quote:
Mr. MORRIS. Did you make use of teachers to infiltrate any political organizations?
Mrs. DODD. Yes. Teachers were, of course, urged to partake of the political life around them. They joined the American Labor Party in great numbers when the teachers' union was affiliated with the American Labor Party.
Mr. MORRIS. Dr. Dodd, were you ever connected with the American Labor Party officially?
Mrs. DODD. Yes, I was.
Mr. MORRIS. To your knowledge, was that controlled by the Communists?
Mrs. Donn. It became controlled by the Communists completely after 1942. Up to 1942, there had been a struggle between the Social Democrats and the Communists for control of the American Labor Party.
Mr. MORRIS. In 1942 what happened?
Mrs. DODD. I think the Communists captured the last of the boroughs ; that is, Brooklyn.
Mr. MORRIS. How do you know that what you tell us now, Doctor?
Mrs. DODD. I was chairman of the committee to help raise funds and supply personnel for that.
Communism is not just a belief in economics or in politics or in foreign affairs; it is not just the support of the Soviet Union. Communism is a whole philosophy of life. It permeates everything that you do. It permeates your family life, your relationship with your friends, your business relationships, the professional relationships It has to do with your own thinking of what the importance of man is.
Therefore, if you once build up a philosophy of life and you are living by it and you live by it for a certain number of years and then you make the break, you have to take every phase of your life, every strand of your body practically, and every thought that you have, and you have to reexamine it and reformulate it into a pattern which is understandable.
Now, many people break with the Communist Party—because the Communist Party has a tremendous turn-over; people come in and go out—but do not find any new philosophy to substitute for it. Therefore, they live as vacuums, and many of them disintegrate. I mean just become morose people, or people who are just lost to a decent living.
But this whole question of honestly trying to reformulate your philosophy is a long process if you are an honest person.
Senator FERGUSON. I have one question here. You stated that one time, I am informed, after you had actually been expelled from the party—and, as I understand it, they do expel people who are known to deviate from their party lines—that the Communist Party was very similar to any political party; its only purpose was to get into power.
Now, after you have broken entirely with the Communist Party, is that a true, accurate statement of what the Communist Party is in America?
Mrs. DODD. No ; it isn't. The Communist Party in America is a conspiracy. It is both a legal and an extra-legal and an illegal apparatus. It is a mechanism for bringing about the preconditions for a Marxist-Leninist victory in America.
Senator FERGUSON. Then it is revolutionary and believes in revolution to accomplish its purpose; that is, the overthrow of this Government; is that correct?
Mrs. DODD. There is no doubt about that. And when the Communist Party issues statements that all it does is to wait for the reactionaries in this country to create the preconditions and to establish violence, and that all they do then is to defend themselves against the violence, that is a complete hoax and a farce.
The CHAIRMAN. Dr. Dodd, you previously testified that the New York Teachers' Union, with a membership of about 11,000, I believe you said,. was completely under the control of the Communist Party. Could you explain to what extent the Communists were able to influence the 11,000 teachers in the union?
Dr. DODD. We influenced them on political questions. The union, for instance, had a political program at all times. We influenced them on the question of war and peace, the question of the activity against fascism. We could use their power certainly against anyone we wanted to destroy in public life, by using their voting power and using their power to write letters and generally to be articulate.
Also, the teachers' union had very effective publications in which you had theoretical articles on the method of teaching, the principles of teaching, the philosophy of teaching. Thus, the people who joined the union for economic benefit of course also got the advantage of the Communist theory on education. The question of even the kind of meetings you had, the kind of speakers that you invited, influenced these teachers. Of course, many of them dropped away as the struggle became harder and the Rapp-Coudert committee came into being.
The CHAIRMAN. Of your own knowledge, what was the peak of the Communist strength among the schoolteachers and college professors of the country?
Dr. DODD. The peak was about 1,500 members.
The CHAIRMAN. Did that number include only the Communist Party members?
A lot of the righties on this thread seem to think so, but I am at a loss to see what they think he did that was so bad. According to the consensus of historians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor..._United_States)
Obama consistently lands in the second quartile - meaning good, not great.
On the other hand, some on here are calling Trump a great President. Historians judge him as the worst, but maybe that view will soften over time. I struggle to come up with a single accomplishment; perhaps you could enlighten me.
Just wondering what your feelings are on this. So far, Biden is proving to be pretty terrible. He hass failed to live up to even the lowest of expectations placed on him. The economy has become more dysfunctional in the short time he has been in office. Violence and crime is off the charts. Antisemitism and violence towards Asians has been a daily occurrence in democrat controlled cities, and Biden has failed to stop it. He has insulted various races by claiming they are too stupid to figure out how to use a computer and the internet. He even said the N word live on TV.
What a trainwreck of a disaster this administration is proving to be... Even the propaganda outlets are having a hard time propping up this circus of an administration.
Truth though, none of our problems would be happening today if it wasn't for Nixon, Reagan and Bush. They are the ones that started the wars, unconstitutional agencies like the ATF and passing laws like the EPA and NAFTA, striking trade deals with China, outsourcing our jobs, giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants that drove down the wages here in the USA.
Sure, like taking bribes from communist China. That beats out Nixon by a mile.
A terrible thing - a US politician taking bribes from China
The next worst thing - Falsely alleging a politician took bribes, with absolutely no evidence
This forum is mainly conservative. Maybe your poll should have asked if posters were voting as a conservative or a liberal. You would have had a more accurate assessment then.
Youtube also shows people disliking Biden more than Trump. It get's so bad that often times Youtube has to disable the comments section and like/dislike buttons. Trump also had the most democrats voting for him in history and Black people for a Republican. And I find it interesting that the Black people who are turning conservative on youtube are the more intelligent ones, like Anthony Brian Logan, Tatum, Jericho Green, Candace Owens, Modern Renaissance Man, just to name a few.
And oh, if MLK and Malcolm X were alive today, they would be considered conservatives too, or at least Libertarian. They were against Marxists ideologies. Malcolm X was even killed on the order of Barrack Obama's mentor, Louis Farrahkhan, and before that he tried to tell Black people to not trust the media.
