How will he NOT be remembered as the worst president of all time?
Trump's legacy

History of course will remember him as such.
His cult legacy will live on amongst his brainwashed followers for at most a generation. Luckily the easily accessible information provided by a connected world will allow anyone to look up his actual record.

People reading about his presidency in the future that didn't live through it will probably have a more favorable opinion of him than we do. Nobody is going to care that he was confrontational with the media.
Wanna bet? One thing I do predict -- he'll be written about by future historians more than most of our other Presidents. Historians will be fascinated to study this crazy dude. But if you believe these character studies will be flattering, you're delusional. He did more damage -- and continues to do damage -- to this country than any other president.
Future generations are going to learn how this man governed as 'The Great Divider,' put together an administration characterized by incompetence and scandal; was impeached and saved by the fact his party controlled the Senate; and broke the long-standing tradition of a peaceful transition by kicking and screaming his way out of office.
Lol @ "the great divider". What did he do to make your life worse?
WTF Crazy??!? Trump wasn't The Great Divider?
Whether we were talking about forest fires, the pandemic, hurricane relief, or simply addressing the American people, Trump ALWAYS viewed the country in terms of Red States and Blue States.
It's why when Biden talks about representing all the people who didn't vote for him as well as for those who did, it sounds downright 'revolutionary' despite that fact that's what every single President had done before Donald Trump came around.
You've got to be kidding. Forest fires? Didn't California's governor praise Trump for his action? Hurricanes? Might want to look at the mayor in Puerto Rico that sequestered all of the support materials that were sent. If those 2 are in your top 3 it probably means you are the one that is being divisive.
Apparently you were asleep when Trump threatened to pull federal aid to California's fire recovery efforts.
The pandemic has been a clusterf*ck of Red States pitted against Blue States in all aspects of this crisis.
It took almost 3 years for a FEMA recovery aid package to be sent, after the hurricane killed thousands of people and left $95 billion in damages. Compare that to other States and contrast Trump's rhetoric and FEMA responses to each of them.
Emotion will not drive the bus, thus opinions will be grounded more rationally on both ends. There will be no hate or love - like there is today. There will be cold analysis based on fact. Nixon has few defenders today, but he had plenty at the time. Herbert Hoover got 40% of the popular vote in '32 despite the Great Depression.
Once you remove the emotion from Trump's support, you aren't left with much substance. Trump will be remembered as a divider who never really wanted the job, but loved the adulation he got at rallies while taking no interest in the greatest challenge of his presidency - the first global pandemic in 100 years.
Unless of course he pulls of a coup in which case we'll all have paintings of him riding a horse shirtless in no time.
Replaced foreign terrorists with domestic terrorists
Allowed human rights violations in the name of profits leading to "peace" in the middle east
Coasted on obama's momentum until there was a bump in the road and then hilariously mismanaged it.
Didn't do shit for a vaccine.
Impeached for undermining democracy
Continued to undermine democracy after losing
Replies in this thread are evidence enough of that. Objectively speaking, Trump didn't do that bad of a job. Every president makes mistakes, but if you were to ask a lot of people today they would say everything he did was the worst thing ever. Its just not reality, but it is THEIR reality.
If we're smart, we'll use the Trump presidency to 'fix' all the holes in our democracy that Trump uncovered thanks to all of his shenanigans. We've all learned that automatically assuming presidents will act in good faith is a dangerous way to go.
For example, how many people did Trump appoint to acting senior roles to skirt Congressional approval? Be it Democrat or Republican presidential appointees, that's not what the founders intended.

Please don't talk to us about living in an alternate reality. You spent the last 2 weeks thinking Trump was going to win all these legal battles and that election fraud was going on.
I'm sure history will look favorably on president 'antimask' and president 'climate change isn't real.' They'll really applaud his effors to make America better by creating the most divided nation since the civil war where chuds across america were calling for states' secession and a second civil war. Chuds like @Crazyhole
Most incompetent president ever. Even more than the ones that died after 30 days.
Joseph Raymond McCarthy(November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread communist subversion.[1] He is known for alleging that numerous communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry,[2][3] and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communistactivities. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.[4][5
Socialism is now a new Communism. Even though it's not really Socialism.
Yeah boy, Knighttime! Talk about bias -- the media would have you believe -- get this: -- Joe Biden won the election!!! *
In 2000 there was 1 state in dispute by 537 votes. There is 1 state in dispute now (14,000 votes) and it won't make a difference.
Says the poster who is comparing Gore (Trailing by 537 votes in one State) with Trump (beaten by Biden by the exact, same number of electoral votes that he considered 'a landslide' when he beat Hillary in 2016.)
