How We Know Trump is the Worst President in History?

 

What is the role of a U.S. President? Until 2017, this was what was expected from our nation’s leader.

[The authors of the U.S. Constitution only sketched a loose outline of the presidency when they defined the federal government in 1787. They expected the first presidents to work out the details of the job with Congress and the Supreme Court. As a result, the first officeholders helped shape the way presidents make decisions, fight wars, work with Congress, add territory to the country, and even entertain.]

Let’s begin with his personal life. Trump is a man without morals or principles. He is a registered serial philanderer, having cheated on all three of his trophy wives. It was recently revealed and confirmed that he attended parties with his “best friend,” Jeffrey Epstein, for 10 years. This proves that Trump is one of the most disgusting sexual predators of all time.

Trump operated his businesses in the same manner as his marriages. He lied, cheated, and stole among other illegal actions to save his failing real estate ventures, although he declared bankruptcy four times.

As your illegitimate president, he was forced to reveal himself. His very first actions involved Constitutional violations committed by signing Executive Orders, most of which were struck down by federal courts. Just the beginning.

He became the first illegitimate president to be impeached twice, once for attempting to bribe the President of Ukraine, and a second time for obstruction of justice after organizing, planning, and executing a failed coup on January 6, 2021.

I could list his many failures which confirmed his lack of intellect and knowledge of government functions and responsibilities, but I will simply offer the obvious.

Not a single action originated by Trump and his administration improved the lives of all Americans. His focus was and remains on the super-rich. Not a single positive accomplishment can be attributed to Trump and his administration in four long years. He violated the Emoluments Clause every day of his failed administration.

Trump is directly responsible for the loss of more than 10,000 American lives. Health experts claim that his failure to take timely action in the fight against Covid-19 is directly responsible for part of more than one-million Americans losing their lives from the pandemic.

His failure to do anything about Covid-19, claiming “it will just go away” nearly placed our nation in a second depression. He left office after costing 300,000 Americans their jobs and unemployment skyrocketing. Once again, a democratic president was forced to save our nation from the failed economic policies of a Republican.

His failed fiscal policy, combined with wasteful personal spending added more than $8,000,000,000,000 to the national debt.

Trump never should have been nominated by the Republican in July of 2016. He failed to possess a single quality required of a president. He had no experience in government at any level. He is a failed businessman who would not exist without the assistance of the leaders of foreign nations.

Finally, and most important, is the fact that he is not an American. His loyalties are to Vladimir Putin and the Saudi Royal Family, not to the American people. Trump cares only about Trump.
