Donald Trump is undoubtedly - & by far - the worst President in US history.
Despite his bitter, fanatical & delusional supporters, the whole world - & most Americans - know this to be true.
It is now beyond a shadow of any doubt.

During the Great Recession of 2007-9, the US economy lost approximately 9 million jobs.
By April, the pandemic recession had seen nearly 10 million unemployment claims in just two weeks, & the unemployment rate was 13% - the highest since the Great Depression ended 80 years ago.

Far worse is the human carnage.
The richest nation on earth has more confirmed #coronavirus cases than anywhere else.
Trump claimed on February 26th: “Within a couple of days, it’s going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”

In April he argued that if the death toll was 100,000 to 200,000 — higher than the combined US fatalities in all of its wars since 1945 — it would be proof that he’d done “a very good job.”
279,000 Americans have died - so far - from #COVID19. A number which could still double.

His handling of the pandemic has been an abject fiasco because the #coronavirus was the most foreseeable catastrophe in US history.
9/11 caused 2,606 deaths in the World Trade Center & surrounding area.
2,777 #COVID19-related deaths in the #USA is the single-day record.

The warnings about the Pearl Harbor & 9/11 were obvious only in retrospect.
With #coronavirus, it didn’t require any top-secret intelligence to see what was coming.
The alarm was sounded in January by his own advisors, by experts in the media, & by Democrat Joe Biden:

The Trump administration received its first formal notification of the outbreak of the #coronavirus in China on January 3rd.
Within days, US spy agencies were signaling the seriousness of the threat to America in the President’s Daily Brief.
But Trump wasn’t listening.

Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar briefed Trump on January 18th, telling colleagues that Trump believed he was ‘alarmist’: he couldn't get Trump to focus on #COVID19.
On January 22nd, Trump lied “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.”
On January 22nd, Trump lied “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.”
In the days and weeks after Azar alerted him about the virus, Trump spoke at eight rallies and golfed six times as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
Trump’s failure to focus sowed significant public confusion & contradicted the urgent messages of public health experts.”

His inaction also allowed critical failures in rolling out enough tests or stockpiling sufficient protective equipment & ventilators.
South Korea & the United States discovered their first #cornavirus cases on the same day.
South Korea now has just 540 dead, the #USA, 279,012.

This fiasco is monumental.
Inevitably, he blamed others for his abject failure, including China, the media, governors, Barack Obama & the impeachment managers.
His mantra is: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”
He's a corrupt liar, & his presidency has been cataclysmic.
