IDK of anyone who's cheapened the office as much as him.
Well let's talk about it.
Possible contenders:
1. Andrew Jackson.
2. Ulysses S. Grant.
3. Warren Harding
4. Tricky Dick
5. Bill Clinton
Andrew Jackson was every bit the crass dickhead that Trump is, but he also had some guts. Grant was a boozer extraordinaire who let his underlings graft the fuck out of everything. Bill Clinton fucked an intern in the oval office? TD speaks for himself.
Sure, let's chat.
Worthy names all. But:
Jackson was a combat veteran and won the Battle of New Orleans
US Grant won a war that preserved the Union
Harding? Sure, Teapot Dome and all. But, he came from a family of abolitionists, was born to a rural family and built up a local newspaper from nothing to a success. In other words, he wasn't born into a wealthy, racist life of privilege.
Nixon - again, not much argument, except the dude had a razor sharp mind, and he did open up dialog with China.
Willie - also born into poverty, became a Rhodes Scholer, had record years of economic prosperity and job growth, defeated a tyrant (Milosovich) with zero American deaths, and his foundation is doing philanthropic work in the 3rd world. And IDGAF, nor did most people who weren't Republicunts, that he got a blowie in the Oval.
What do you think the odds are the El Cheato will do ANYTHING to help others with his fame and fortune when he's out of office (or prison)?
