      pundits are really eager to find something redeeming about Trump because pundits always want to say counterintuitive stuff, and it makes you seem deep to talk about how people are complicated/shades of grey, etc. 1

      And that's true of many other presidents we view as "nuanced" or even admirable

      I think Trump's somewhat unusual in being just a completely terrible human being with no redeeming aspects. Nixon maybe as well...possibly Andrew Jackson? There aren't many people as horrible as Trump in general I don't think.

          I was thinking of Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and Reagan in particular. But Trump is definitely worse than most, which is saying something when many of them owned slaves.

          The most effectively evil people have some virtues that enables them to accomplish an enormous amount of evil. Trump's lack of virtues contributes to relatively minimal impact.

          it would be nice if this were true, but he separated thousands of children from their parents, and just got dozens of Iranians killed for no purpose through needless saber rattling. And those are just the tip of the iceberg. He's done a great deal of harm.

          Nixon? Nixon established the EPA! And going to China was the right thing to do. Andrew Johnson, maybe, though? Can’t think of any redeeming actions or values.

          But “only Nixon could go to China” was because Nixon had vilified every prior attempt at detente.

          As Hunter S. Thompson said, Nixon looked great on paper. He had good qualities, but they were overshadowed by his bad qualities being things like "incredibly racist" and "keeps an enemies list" and "crimes."

          the alcoholism was also bad, as it turned out.

          Nixon's redeeming qualities are insufficient to actually REDEEM him, but he opened up to China, established the EPA & supported the Clean Air Act. Trump has done nothing good on purpose ... any positive result of anything he has done has been an entirely unintended consequence.

          But he's so indifferent to and almost unaware of his crimes. He embodies the banality of evil.
