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.

If for no other reason than to prompt responses such as post 9.
January 26 is a key date - Chinese government health officials reveal for the first time that people who are infected with the coronavirus can spread the disease before they are showing any symptoms.
The Twitter stuff is even worse, as it’s been documented that 97% of Twitter political Tweets are produced by less than 10% of its users, the vast majority of whom are leftist swine.
So Twitter is nothing more than an echo chamber, a loud one because the media is so entrenched in it and regurgitates the Tweets, but the sooner you realize it’s completely disconnected from reality, the sooner you realize that it’s also meaningless and not even worth the outrage.
I believe Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin are the same person.
Important addition to a great list.
Post #9 is a great post.
Thanks.
They’re really going to lose it when Biden gets blown out in a landslide.
Do they really think that yet another Orange Man Bad editorial is going to change things? Propose an alternate solution or something. There is no policy that they’re advocating for anymore. It’s just Orange Man Bad. At least when Bush was president, these guys would advocate for...well, something. They don’t even have a platform anymore.
Did the dumbass sleep all the way through both the Carter and Obama/OBiden mal-administrations? What a pantload of a supposed “historian!”
HAHAAAHAAA.
Boot is no historian - he is a propagandist pushing neoconnery.
When is he going to make aliyah anyways? We don't want him here.
“Reluctant “ my ass
Boot has called Trump everything in the book
Ditto.
Limbaugh has spoken at length about this POS. Calls him and all those like him the Cruise Ship “conservatives”. People who spouted conservative values as long as it supported them financially.
However, when President Trump decided to enter politics and did so WITHOUT ANY OF THEM. Purposefully OMITTED them. Because Donald Trump had disdain for them and their Globalist Policies benefitting themselves but, doing great harm to average Americans though Donald Trump actually implemented so many policies they “touted” they reacted with outrage and anger.
Why?
Because President Trump didn’t just “talk” he did. And, he did without them.
Thereby, reducing them to irrelevance. Their “articles”, their “seminars”, their “cruises” which enriched them were rendered irrelevant by a Businessman that could care less about such things.
A businessman that only cares about RESULTS.
People like this worthless POS made their living not on results. But, on the perpetual lack of results which they could pontificate upon for decades and enrich themselves by pontificating upon it.
Donald Trump totally destroyed that paradigm. And they hate him for it. These losers hate our President as much if not more so than the dems. He single-handedly blew up their decades long money making scam.
Max Boot is the quintessential Neo-con, fake RINO, leftist and Romney lackey
Like William Krystal, no one reads his columns, no one buys his books, any organizations he belongs to are failures - and yet somehow, he is always around, available for comments on TV news programs or for a timely article in deep-state media outlets like Washington Post
I am absolutely convinced therefore he is a CIA operative, because it he weren’t supported by someone or something behind the scenes, he would have disappeared long ago.
Carter was the worst president in my lifetime, followed by George HW Bush, Ford, then Obama, then Clinton. The three best were W Bush, Reagan, and the Trump #1.
Thank you!
More people need to memorize these key dates, it’s not too difficult
Give Max the boot.
Max Boot should have his a$$ kicked all the way back to Moscow where he is from.
