Trump is not the worst president in history so stop saying that

Caligula, Julius Caesar, Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin, Nicolae Ceaucescu, Erich Honecker, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Un, Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Idi Amin, Ferdinand Marcos, Manuel Noriega, Ho Chi Minh, Daniel Ortega and Maximilien Robespierre were all at least slightly worse than Trump.

The problem with Trump is, a United States President is not expected to be mentioned in the same breath with Idi Amin and Daniel Ortega.

I'm pretty sure almost all if not all of them were dictators.

What a ridiculous argument.

I will say it again because it is 100% true:


TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!!!!!!

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
 Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
 Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
 Then why call him God?”

It's something that's still happening. We haven't seen the end of it yet.
