With predecesors as they were, I cannot say, "Trump was the worse Republican president, ever."

DWT, publishing "Hell's Painter." Then there was Willie Horton, and the crass extension of the "Hostage Crisis" against Carter. The Panama invasion. Iran Contra. What did Trump do equal to the sum of that mayhem of agendas? Or equal to any single one? 

Oh. He questioned NATO. Laid down an Afghanistan withdrawal course which Biden wisely followed. Declined to start a new war. Fired John Bolton.

From what we know, Trump cannot paint a stroke; leaving that to W and Hunter Biden. Not to say Trump was not a train wreck. He was. But -- There are kinds and scales of train wrecks, and there is precedent.
