    History is relative and we’ve had some bad Presidents, but that “probably” is doing a lot of work.

        Right, which is why I’m putting the “probably” in there. I would say that he and Ronnie Raygun rank wayyyy up there as being the worst in recent memory, anyway.

          Depending on what you call recent which really comes down to if living memory is a requirement or not I’d still put Wilson way up there as well. Motherfucker made the civil rights movement even more of a mess with his segregation of the feds and possibly may have been the reason the klan was reinvigorated with that shit he pulled with Birth of a Nation. Frankly the only thing he has over Trump is that he was actually a solid enough scholar, obviously had all the bullshit one would expect from a Southerner of the era but once you got passed that the he had a solid academic standard.
