A substack author, a very anti-Trump individual named Jason Provencio put up the following meme on the platform:
Is this true? We can look at this with a look at some brief presidential history.
I will say up front I am not a huge fan of Donald Trump and find some of his policy prescriptions like tariffs and especially his accumulation of $7.8 trillion in debt in 4 years.
However, to call him the worst President ever could be classified as a stretch. I will ask a few questions below (although the list of questions could be very long) and answer them yes ort no.
Did Donald Trump expand presidential powers like FDR, Teddy Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson? No.
Did Donald Trump lock up tens of thousands of Japanese Americans and resident Japanese aliens (FDR)? No.
Did Donald Trump confiscate the public's gold (FDR)? No.
Did Donald Trump entangle us is wars, and overseas empire like Wilson or Bush 2? No.
Just these few questions, in my view, convinces me that Donald Trump was not the worst president ever.
It is pure nonsense, partisan foolishness and hyperbole or just a total lack of knowledge of history to call Donald Trump the worst president ever. Likewise, for those who would say Trump was the best is also foolish and not well thought out.
