It’s moments like these that help us remember Trump is actually pretty dumb.
A lot of his shittier behavior can be chalked up to anger, misogyny, racism, etc. (which are indirectly signs of stupidity), but in no way, shape, or form has he generally brought people together. He could wax on about how he “pointed out and tackled the real threat to our country,” blah blah blah, but… he’s definitely a divider and rabble-rouser of the highest degree.
The only way Obama divided anyone was:
Made racists mad at Democrats (for nominating and electing him)
Made the people who voted for him mad that his presidency wasn’t much like his campaign promises (drone strikes, NDAA, etc.)
But calling him a bad president? That’s also simply inaccurate. Trump - on the other hand - is almost certain to be viewed by historians as in the bottom 5.
I used to think this way. Then he delivered me a blue Texas, something no other president could have dreamed of doing. He’s still on the bottom of my list, but I can no longer say he never did anything good for me.
He single-handedly destroyed the American empire. Maybe posterity will be grateful for that, but the jury is very much out on whether something better will follow.
Trump is a genuinely stupid person. That’s why conservatives relate to him.
But in an improperly regulated capitalist society, if you are born rich, you can fail upwards your entire life, regardless of how stupid you are. Donald Trump is not the only proof of this.

Bottom 1. Worst ever.
Andrew Jackson is the other strongest contender.

Well, trump is doing 2 genocides instead of just one.

Great point. Thanks 😎
