    In an important way I think this is essentially the whole point of the Trump presidency. If "establishment" types like scholars, academics, political scientists, economists, etc.,...liberal or conservative think he's a terrible president, then he's exactly what his base thinks he should be. It's like grunge music from the mid 90s: it's just meant to be grating to the ears of most people as a reaction to the normal. Trump was meant to be a crappy president to the type of people who are influential in society. The example from other countries in electing these types of revolutionary type figures tends to universally lead to a really bad thing for a country eventually (like Chavez in Venezuela), but so be it. It won't be like that here. Trump is going to make America great. Or so the thinking goes. And the establishment types in his party who are (irresponsibly in my opinion) quietly going along with the chaos or craziness do so because maybe they can get a tax bill or a few other things passed. Very short sighted, in my view, but that's the unfortunate nature of our current politics.
    That was my first thought-- nothing would make a Trump supporter cheer like an article stating that academics ranked Trump's as the worst presidency ever.

        But the funny thing is that if Trump himself read this it would make him livid.

            We talk about the "Greatest Generation" or attach other names to generations of the past. Future generations are going to look back at the one that elected Trump as the stupidest generation ever: "What in the hell were those people thinking!!??!"

              • Today's laugher from the Donald came during an interview in which he rips into the sheriffs who stood outside. Quoth Drumpf, "I really believe I would have run in there, even if I didn't have a weapon." Okay, first, his immenseness isn't going to be running anywhere--don't make me post that tennis pic again. He had to get his doctor to fudge his height and weight numbers to avoid the clinical definition of obese.

                And there's no reason to think that even a svelte Captain Bone Spurs would do anything other than direct others to do his fighting for him. But I'm sure he'd have some cruel sobriquets to fling at the shooter when the time was right.

                  That's funny.

                  Still blows my mind that this clown got elected.

                    Maybe Drumpf would have pulled his limo over and told the shooter to put his gun down... Apparently it worked before:

                    The Trump Files: The Time Donald Trump Pulled Over His Limo to Stop a Beating

                    Just the sight of Donald Trump can calm the violent streets of New York, apparently.


                    At least that was reportedly the case in November 1991, when Trump was on his way to a Paula Abdul concert in his limo and saw a man being pummeled on an unidentified Manhattan street. “The man was getting beaten with a baseball bat, but no one did a thing until the limo drove up and Super Donald leaped out,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.


                    That was all it took to stop the assailant in his tracks. “The guy with the bat looked at me, and I said, ‘Look, you’ve gotta stop this. Put down the bat,'” Trump told the New York Daily News. “I guess he recognized me because he said, ‘Mr. Trump, I didn’t do anything wrong.’ I said, ‘How could you not do anything wrong when you’re whacking a guy with a bat?’ Then he ran away.”

                      Wait, what?! I though you were a #russia #woke disciple?

                      [ Psst... don't tell frank or BlueK, but Trump's election could be attributed to something simple like citizens 65 years and older reported much higher turnout (70.9 percent) than 18- to 29-year-olds (46.1 percent)... which is to say (and I've said this somewhere before) old people are dumb. ]

                        Yeah, remember all the young people protesting the election in the week following Trump's victory? In spite of the fact that most of them didn't vote the week before?

                        And you call old people dumb.

                          Tsk tsk... this factual observation also doesn't support the #russia narrative.

                            Yeah, only one thing in isolation can explain an election. Yes, that's what I've said.
