A comment from EmptyWheel -- "Donald Trump has a horrible day..."

[erronis]

Donald Trump has a horrible day, as is often the case for the incompetent blowhard and goes to bed, only to fall into a fitful sleep. He awakes, sweating, to find the first of three ghosts of former presidents sitting on the end of his gilded bed. Trump sees the visage of George Washington in the dark, to whom Trump asks, “What do I have to do to make America great again?”. Washington says, “Tell the truth and never tell another lie.” Trump sneers and shakes his head and Washington disappears, only to be replaced by the image of FDR in his wheelchair. Trump asks FDR what he needs to do to make America great again. FDR says, “Raise taxes on the wealthy and feed all the hungry people in the United States. Trump again sneers and waves his hand, only to see FDR vanish and Abraham Lincoln appear in his place. Trump again asks Lincoln what he needs to do to make America great? Honest Abe replies, “Buy a ticket to the Ford Theater.”

4. Abe gave his life trying to protect us from people like trump.

Just like Washington fought to free us from a dictatorship and FDR fought to free the world from the NAZIs.

It's damn ironic.

5. Along with the thousands

of the Allied Soldiers and Sailors in WWII..........Lest we not forget............

7. Sclump is a disgrace to the memory of those three.

And most of our other presidents. Even the worst ones look halfway decent next to him.

12. Hel*, he's even a disgrace to James Buchanan....

the worst of the rest.

[ShazzieB]

14. Yep!

Then there's old Andrew Johnson. I have a particular grudge against him for screwing up Reconstruction so badly, which led to jim crow and all the horrible things that went with that. But if i try to be as objective as possible, then I have to admit Trump is the worst. After all, neither Buchanan or A. Johnson tried to literally dismantle our government and turn this country into a dictatorship!

President William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.
