I propose that we gather together historical facts and engage in 'friendly' (you don't have to be friendly but remember that ultimately this is a bit about shitting on awful awful people) debate to decide who was the worst President in the history of the United States of America.

    Trump was maybe the most clownish but he didn't amass the body count of Bush the younger or Andrew Jackson.

        Lots of presidents would have racked up a covid body count comparable to Trump's had they happened to be in office. Trump made things worse but a lot of the disaster is caused by systemic factors like the lack of healthcare and labour rights.

        The chuddy disdain for science and for doing anything to prevent the spread of disease were also there before Trump.
