Trump, 45th.   The bottom of the list.

 
As I said before, Trump made /every prior President/ look a whole lot
better. Even Tricky Dicky, who was shown to be telling the truth when
he said he was not a crook. Trump showed us what a President who is a
crook looks like. And we'll be getting another dose shortly.

I don't believe that Trump made James Buchanan look better.

We haven't even seen the /start/ of his second term.

Who can say what the /end/ of it will be.

Am I the only one who has noticed that, had Trump won in 2020 and a
Dem in 2024, then the expiration of the Trump Tax Cuts and the
Ballooning National Debt would become /Dem/ problems -- and the
Republicans would be attacking them as best they can?

Maybe that's the real reason Trump went into denial in 2020 -- his
carefully-laid trap was not going to work as intended.

Of course, his Afghanistan trap worked perfectly well.

Buckle up! Stormy times ahead!
