Until now, I have generally been reluctant to label Donald Trump the worst president in U.S. history. As a historian, I know how important it is to allow the passage of time to gain a sense of perspective. Some presidents who seemed awful to contemporaries (Harry S. Truman) or simply lackluster (Dwight D. Eisenhower, George H.W. Bush) look much better in retrospect. Others, such as Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson, don’t look as good as they once did.
So I have written, as I did on March 12, that Trump is the worst president in modern times — not of all time. That left open the possibility that James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, Warren Harding or some other nonentity would be judged more harshly. But in the past month, we have seen enough to take away the qualifier “in modern times.” With his catastrophic mishandling of the coronavirus, Trump has established himself as the worst president in U.S. history.

No, they’ll tell you that was Nixon’s war.
Das Boot. Das Arschloch.
Easily the best president in my adult lifetime, and there is not even an obvious second. Reagan was when I was a kid. He was an all-time great. Trump has many of the same spirit in him, albeit in a completely different package and for a different time.
Excerpt:
In a March 23 executive order, Mr. Cuomo barred pharmacists from filling prescriptions for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, its next-generation derivative, except for FDA-approved uses, such as for treating malaria or lupus, or as part of clinical trials for COVID-19. The next day, the Democratic governor announced that the Trump administration and FDA had accelerated deliveries of the drug to New York for experimental therapies aimed at treating the novel coronavirus, adding that “hospitals will start using that drug today.”
Never forget, if you voted for McCain and Romney, you were voting for Max Boot to serve in government. He was a campaign aide to both. He’s a huge neocon and the GOP under Bush, McCain and Romney, was pushing the neocon forever-wars agenda full time.
Gonna start calling this rag the WuPo.
Max Boot is a worm, lower than dog feces. But his globalist masters really like him and give him biscuits and a collar.
Max is Russian born . No really a true American only a naturalized one. I question what he is. He once was a conservative but not really sure he ever was. Now he hangs out with the left. He sounds confused. Why anyone would pay attention to what he says.
The WuPo! Love it! I’m stealing that.

This chronology should be highlighted at every opportunity and interview...a backdrop for every tv appearance...a great full page add for every newspaper still printed...
Why post this carp?
Just another evil spirit-influenced reprobate. Keep your eyes on Jesus, everyone and pray for our President for such a time as this.
Bingo, just as they consider the end of the Cold War solely due to Gorbachev’s “unilateral reforms” ...
consider how well his WaPo boss, Bezos/Amazon are doing with everyone locked-down at home.
I guess this genius figured now was strategically the right time to toss this stinky bomb out, in the hopes of blocking Trump. No doubt the “media” has a number of other geniuses lined up to inform us what we need to know. I pity the pathetic people who still fall for this crap, but I know they actually exist. Hard to believe. What hope is there for this country?
Some people take being on the outside harder than others.
Go home, Max! No prize for you!!
