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.

Sounds snarky... ;-)
I would follow President Trump anywhere. He’s one of the few leaders whom I trust. He doesn’t equivocate. He says what he believes, and follows through. Greatest President of my life.
If our leadership were in the hands of anyone like Max Boot we’d already all be dead... Or worse.
This guy doesn’t amount to a pimple on the ass of a baboon.
Just remember. Max Boot calls himself a Republican.
Ppppfffft!
“Historian” My Aunt Fanny.
The worst POTUS ever was ObamaIdiot, period.
“The worst president in modern times — not of all time.”
Golly. Mr. Boot is so polite to say that Trump is not the worst of all time. /sarcasm.
Boot is a typical atheist from the “chosen group” who incorrectly thinks he knows better than anyone else.
Thankfully, President Trump is successfully leading this country while Boot is defeated and useless.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, everyone and pray for our President for such a time as this.
AMEN!
Excellent post! I forwarded this! Thank you!
I thank God that president Trump had America’s economy in such a wonderful place before all this happened. Can anyone imagine what America would look like today if the democrats had been in charge during this pandemic?
Thank you God in Heaven for our hardworking, tough, efficient president.
I am going to get this POS tossed from one of my National Defense Forums!

He is!
It does have a nice ring to it. Others one might use...
WaPoo
WuPoo
Or simply; 'TP', fish wrap, or butt crack crap.
What else can one expect from one of the worst enemedia outlets ever?
Opinions what would we do without them? WGAS, we all have standards judging Presidents. All I know is Trump isn’t a Wuss, I’d just wish he would kick more ass and clean up the house and the courts. Its amazing how we let the Free Press control the narrative, and do absolutely nothing when you know they are owned.

Case closed.
Max Boot is EVIL.
How CORRUPT is the government? The government is so CORRUPT that only advocates for the VICTIM of THE GREATEST SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY went to jail.
Occasionally (not always) the camera captures EVIL...the psychopath’s coldness...the no compassion face. When that slips by go to the WORDS (lies or antagonisms..”bitter clingers”...now that face didn’t slip by you I hope). When both slip by go to the DEEDS. Sometimes they all slip by and YOU’RE raped or dead. The face is sometimes more revealing than other times...Manson, Khomeini, etc., etc.
Barack & Michelle, Hillary & Bill, Soros, Cuomo, Strzok, Brennan, Pelosi, Jarrett, Feinstein, Omar, Haley Stevens, Schumer, Yates, Ted Bundy, (an old acquaintance Rick, a current acquaintance Ron), Stalin, Hitler, Greta, etc., etc.
The most EVIL administration in the history of this great republic BY FAR.
Barack & Michelle Obama, Biden, Clinton, Holder, Lerner, Lynch, Brennan, Comey, Strzok, Paige, Jarrett, Yates, etc., etc. downstream including Jon Gruber, Zeke Emanuel, John Holdren, etc., etc.
ALL said ARROGANTLY...(Without a peep from “representation”)
” WE are 5 days away from fundamentally TRANSFORMING the United States of America”, “bitter clingers”, “you didn’t build that”, “CHARTER OF NEGATIVE LIBERTIES”, “deplorables” “we came, we saw, he died,” “if the prosecutor’s not fired, your not getting the billion dollars”, “she’ll cut off your head and you won’t even know you are bleeding” etc., etc., etc., etc.
WE THE PEOPLE are still reeling from the effects of these CRIMINALS. OUR children are, too. Witness current events.
https://usdebtclock.org Examine the debt before and after that administration.
NONE ARE BEHIND BARS. No justice, no republic.

ZERO...adios republic. Nobody can recover from such CRIMINALITY with a PROPAGANDA MACHINE unparalleled in human history.
Not to mention the...Declaration of MORE Debt Slvavery that proud CONgre$$ was too afraid to affix their signatures to.
Max Boot is EVIL.
He strongly opposed Trump's presidential candidacy in 2016 and has been highly critical of the Republican Party. Boot endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 U.S. presidential election. Boot was critical of the nomination of Rex Tillerson to the position of Secretary of State, believing him to be problematically pro-Russian, and subsequently called on Tillerson to resign. Boot said he would "sooner vote for Josef Stalin than he would vote for Donald Trump."
Just unbelievable.
Our citizens need leadership, and these folks are trying
to destroy Trump anyway.
Think of this as a family, and the wife or the husband
going after the other full tilt even when they are right
just to curry favor with the children.
Pathetic...
