    No Trump fan, but please consider James Buchanan's role in creating Civil War, Rutherford Hayes & end of Reconstruction, Woodrow Wilson & Spanish Flu, Herbert Hoover & Great Depression, LBJ + Nixon & Vietnam, George W. Bush & Iraq, Katrina & 2008 meltdown.https://twitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1238265080510373888 …

    I get the sense that this is not only the low point of the Trump presidency but the low point of the American presidency ever. Has any president ever been this overmatched by a crisis?

        Buchanan hands down. Hard to see how anyone ever does worse and still have a country that cares about ranking presidents.

        Every President who owned slaves has to rank morally lower than the presidents who didn't, all other things being equal. Personally participating in an atrocious practice is worse than making bad executive decisions.

        Jeet, you’re merely pointing out which godawful presidents Trump had to be worse than to get us to this moment.

        I’m honestly stunned people are still pretending like George W Bush was worse than Trump. What world are you living in? Bush was pathetic, but he would have NEVER have fallen as flat as Trump did during his speech last night.

        OK, done all that Trump stands alone in his utter depravity His depravity goes beyond "total depravity" btw, which simply means that all achievements of human beings, including reason, imagination, etc, are all infected in some way by the Fall

        But he is responsible for the end of Reconstruction. That was the compromise.
