    That’s the thing. He was evil, but effective. What did Trump even accomplish aside from stacking the Court, which really had nothing to do with him?

    If a politician does something harmful that I hate, that’s not necessarily the save thing as being a bad or ineffective President. Plenty of bad people are effective leaders, and plenty of good ones are not.

    Jimmy Carter was probably the best person to ever be President, and his stances on environmental issues were decades ahead of their time. I love Jimmy Carter.

    But he wasn’t a good President because he couldn’t get anything done. Andrew Jackson did.

      That’s why I say Trump should forever be stuck at the 45th percentile of presidents. He was mediocre at best, and a useful tool at worst.
