sputters to its much-anticipated conclusion, few people doubt that he’ll be remembered as not only the worst president in U.S. history — not least because he brought the country’s most destructive tendencies to the forefront and encouraged the most violent impulses of its right-wing extremist factions.
It is difficult to perform an autopsy on Trump’s presidency without first mentioning the way in which he failed at performing the most basic duties of a U.S. president: to “preserve, protect, and defend” the U.S. Constitution and to protect the American people from harm.
Back when he first ran and even his candidacy, let alone a win, seemed implausible, Trump’s campaign was defined by two violent, xenophobic moments, showing that his supporters always knew who he was and either enabled his white supremacy actively or by ignoring it. The first was perpetuating the racist birther theory that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not the U.S., which was gleefully perpetuated by the worst of right-wing fringes.
He has completely ignored, and actually willingly exacerbated, the global threat of climate change, an act of negligence that follows his pattern of cruelty, selfishness, and corporate cronyism.
Yeah right! Clean your own backyard first!
