Trump Was Incredibly Bad At Presidenting

Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Jonathan Bernstein: And now for the comment about remembering Trump's presidency: Damn he was bad at the job. I was one of the political scientists who participated in a "rank the presidents" survey and it was easy to place Trump dead last, given everything.

It's an indictment of the education system in this nation that almost 40% of the voters think the orange turd was a good president.

His actions leading up to and including 1/6 should be reason enough to disqualify him from every running as president.

Open violations of the hatch act
Open violations of the emoluments clause
Openly accepting bribes from foreign nations for policy decisions
Outright grifting a Mar a lard ass
Stealing classified documents
Showing off the nuclear football

Just the plain stupidity of his press conferences...

Throwing paper towels in PR.
Nuking hurricanes
Extending hurricane tracks with a sharpie
Injecting bleach and disinfectants
Shoving UV lights in the body
Telling California to rake the forest (the federal parks btw)
Horse paste
Siding with Putin over our national security departments

This jackass is a world embarrassment.

The Biden Campaign could run a long, long series of commercials with Der Dotard saying the crazy things that he did, and with laugh tracks included after the punch line of each utterance. Those commercial would drive home the idiocy that is our former president...

The presidency was a just a part time job. A means to an end. 95% was about selling the "Brand." And 4% was about government paid trips on AF-1 every weekend to play golf.

And occasionally a trip to Moscow to get his marching orders from Putin. And at least one to Helsinki where he got a major smack down from the Russian dictator.

"Damn he was bad at the job."

Why Presidential Historians rate him Dead Last among Presidents.

Also why Trumpers rate him Numero Uno.

The only thing that fat pile of crap is good at is eating and lying.

Everything else he sucks at.

He's not even particularly good at eating. Anyone can order crappy fast food.

I'd say he's actually particularly BAD at eating. Not only does he eat overcooked steak with ketchup, he's known to throw food at walls.

Biden isn't a traitor who set up a Fake Elector conspiracy and sent a violent mob to Capitol Hill to stop the peaceful transfer of power in this country.

No, that would be your Cult Leader who did that.

Actually, Yes.

Considering the pile of trash left behind by Russia's "plant in the White house," we prefer to think of President Biden as a President who works for America's best interests ~ not Russia's.

LOL, Russia invaded Ukraine and Hamas invaded Israel under Biden's leadership. That is a fact that you can't dispute. That's in America's best interest? Maybe for the Military complex.

LAMO! Vlad had no reason to attack Ukraine while his Toady was in office to stop Nato from interfering. He was just sore that Trump's Coup failed, and he had to go ahead without him.

So let's get this straight, Putin didn't invade while Trump was in office because Trump kept Nato from interfering? Sure, that makes total sense.

Trump is still saying he wants us out of Nato, and that he wouldn't interfere with Putin in Ukraine.

Is this thing even on?

Just how brainwashed are you?

#21 So you're saying it's not a fact that Russia invaded when Biden was in office?

#23 | Posted by fishpaw at 2024-05-15 01:29 PM | Reply

#22 No he didn't. Stop watching the View. Trump just said that those who are in NATO need to stop freeloading and need to pay what they agreed to pay when they wanted to be in NATO. Simple enough for you to understand. Well, actually not.

#24 | Posted by fishpaw at 2024-05-15 01:32 PM | Reply

I see, so just not very bright in general.

He was going to invade when he did no matter who was in office; it would just have been easier when it was someone who said he wanted the US out of Nato, and would encourage Russia to attack certain Nato countries.

#25 | Posted by Corky at 2024-05-15 01:34 PM | Reply

"Russia invaded when Biden was in office."

Are you actually suggesting Russia will withdraw, with Trump in office?

Russia didn't withdraw from Crimea when Trump was in office, so why would that change?

That speaks volumes about you.

Trumpy doesn't even break the top 40 ranking and is either dead last or second to dead last.

Meanwhile Biden is currently rated around 14th.

A million Americans are unavailable for comment.

He's also promising to shut down the pandemic preparedness office AGAIN if he wins guaranteeing more death and disease.

How this fkker became the standard bearer for 30% of this nation is an indictment of just how effective the GOP war on education has been.
