Trump worst POTUS - EVER. New poll shows. Obama Best.

46% ....

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/538650-poll-finds-obama-named-best-us-president-trump-worst

Shame that "The Economist" is such a centrist media outlet ... otherwise Trump of Cult would simply try to attack the source. I am still sure that the Cancel Culture of Cult of Trump will try to dismiss and ignore.

Nobody can take away Obama had "the longest" rofl economic recovery in US history, his admin. took
27 years,s,s of steady increasing economic growth of
point. 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1 -percent- growth "SUSTAINED!"
From The Time he caused his "great depression" until the time he left office,

and for that, we have to hand it to him, so (a Pelosi Clap), to the first administrator
managing the decline of the United States, as a World Power.

Just a bit premature to declare this.

The Economist Has Given Up On Liberalism
Even as The Economist drifts further and further into progressivism and away from the liberalism of its founding, it still claims to be liberalism’s true, authentic voice.

By Jeremy Lott

January 2, 2020

The Economist fashions itself a liberal magazine, in the original sense of the word. The weekly was founded in 1843 to argue against the corn laws, which discouraged food imports with tariffs and other restrictions and kept domestic food prices high. It chalked up the repeal of those laws only three years later to “a fearless reliance upon the truth and justice of a great principle”: liberalism.

Today we usually call the intellectual descendants of liberals “classical liberals” for clarity. Liberals like those who founded and supported The Economist in its earlier years believed in property rights, free trade, freedom of speech, religious toleration, and the emancipation of slaves. The original liberals’ idea of government was limited, usually sharply.

I don't think Obama was the best POTUS ever. And time won't change that. I do think Trump is the worst ever for sever reasons, not the least for destroying so many norms, fostering hate and division, and not partaking in the peaceful transition of power.

As for Obama's economy. I don't want to be mean or call names - but you need to be willfully stupid to blame the financial crash of 2008 on Obama. And you have to be willfully ignorant to acknowledge the economic recovery that Obama orchestrated.

And this might be the most unintentionally comedic post EVER.

A poster quoting the EXTREME Federalist in order to claim political bias by the centrist Economist. . . .Yes the Economist has a VERY SLIGHT lean left. But it is clearly in the CENTER of any media bias. The Federalist is over there to the RIGHT of Breitbart. rofl

Trump loves to take credit for things he inherited.

I think you are missing my point. I think Trump was a crap show. I think Obama was effective, but certainly not a transformative President. You can save the top spots for the usual suspects that are on Mt Rushmore, and add FDR, possibly Reagan.


We miss you, Joe.
