Not to mention the Strait of Hormuz. (Didn't he literally try to rename THAT the Strait of America too?)

Yeah, and Trump is one of most unpopular. People compare the two and Trump looks bad in comparison and he hates that. So he badmouths Zohran now.

Nobody stays in Trumps good books forever. Certainty not if they outshine him.

Well, he DID like him. For a while.

Trump likes winners. But if they make HIM look like a loser, not so much.

I mean, it's not like they aren't still taking it away. They praise her and her charity only to take all they can away from it while nobody's looking.

He'd be in the bottom 15. The problem with ranking Reagan is that most of the big issues with him didn't become fully apparent until long after he was out of office. When you make a list like this it's kinda hard to fit all the awful US presidents in a top 10.

All the president's between 1840 and 1860 alone deserve to be somewhere in the bottom 15 for endlessly supporting slavery and setting the stage for the civil war, which makes fitting Reagan in kinda difficult.

Only because we have a firm understanding of their legacies. If I made this list again in 40 years there's a good chance he's in 1st place.

He's in the bottom ten, but is currently getting overshadowed by someone in the bottom five.

That makes him look better by proxy.

The one that writes him love letters and changes his diaper on the daily? The one that sleeps in the locker room when he stays a Maralago and hides in the trunk of his car to stay close to him?

No, I can't imagine her to have anything but a professional relationship with the rapist in chief.

There are way more eyes on the annoying orange than there ever were on the turtle man.

There's no way someone wouldn't anonymously report it to the media or massively fuck up and spill it in some other way.

The words "America" and "learning" are basically antithetical at this point.

Nothing will be learned from all this. They'll elect some new republican monster sometime in the 2030s if not earlier.

Thankfully (or maybe unfortunately is a better word for it), they've done a lot more illegal things than treason.

I think democrats have more than enough things to prosecute them on if they want to. Real question is if democratic LEADERSHIP wants that.
