    I’d say it was Reagan. For sure. Nixon close second. But fuck Trump too but I’d put him like 3rd or maybe even 4th worst

      Were you there for Reagan? He was very personable, very persuasive, and able to build overwhelming popular support. You may not agree with many of his policies but he was successful. He also had a very capable cabinet. Again, you may not agree with some of what they did, but they were successful at it.

      Lastly, most importantly, while conservatives may worship Reagan like an ancient god, he would be un-nominatably moderate when compared to current leading Conservatives.

      Compared to Reagan, Trump is more authoritarian, less capable, less persuasive, more Conservative, more corrupt, more self-serving, and surrounded by incompetent yes-men.

      Wilson, Jackson, Reagan, Nixon, Polk. Trump didn’t do even half the damage to the natives and the country that those 5 did. Wilson is why the US claims to act as “world police,” as well as a fuckton of other shit that is still affecting the citizenry to this day.
