One of Woodrow Wilson’s first acts as president was to dismiss all senior black officials in the civil service. His cabinet secretaries then ordered the segregation of their departments. In several cases, his secretaries fired all black employees. Wilson’s head of the Internal Revenue Division (predecessor to the IRS) said “There are no government positions for Negroes in the South. A Negro’s place in the corn field.” How is Trump worse than that?

How is Trump worse than the cynical crooks Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, especially the uber-corrupt Clintons?

That was right in line with the sentiments of Woodrow Wilson's party, which was the party of the Ku Klux Klan.

Of course, Wilson was no sheet-wearing Klansman. No, he was a former president of Princeton. He was a Progressive. Meaning he knew better than you how you should live your miserable life. And, at the time, who was fit to serve in the federal government.

Woodrow Wilson was a worm.
