Ran on a platform of hate, sowed deceit on specific groups on undesirables to rounded up and be thrown into camps by a secret police, openly invading other countries
Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president?
FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 1 day agoTrump will be remembered in the same category as the guy who greenlit the Holocaust?
I mean, Trump is a bad dude and a terrible president, but c’mon man, employ some perspective.

Exactly, he is currently funding a war that has killed tens of thousands of people in Palestine (using our tax money btw).

This in addition to imprisoning tens of thousands of people stateside, and exploiting young girls and women in a traffic ring run by him and his rich buddies.

There’s an argument about the pandemic team he disbanded could have recognized COVID early enough so it’d barely be a blip or known in our memories. So perhaps still, even if he didn’t try. He just wanted more money for his personal things, plus recind anything Obama did. Like the Iran agreement. Not to mention all the soft power US used to have and acting like the US can still do everything, and not cause a worldwide fuel issue. Slightly different metrics but I think he ranks up there myself.
Okay maybe he didn’t set out to get people killed but even worse he doesn’t care he did, that’s gotta be close in being awful. Let alone with any decision he makes is to benefit himself, never the people. I’m not sure how often a powerful empire has had a dude in charge to break everything but I don’t know much history. Least hell be known as one of the crazy leaders, but we know he just wants all the money and whatever it takes.
I believe that perspective works still.
