In reply to the discussion: Trump's worst fear is that he will be compared to Herbert Hoover... [View all]0rganism
(25,800 posts)We passed Hoover levels of awful halfway into his first term, not economically but in something more basic: human decency. The damage F47 has done to the world cannot be measured in dollars. (Well, okay, maybe it could be, but it'd be a really big number.)
This time around, F47's poised to preside over the onset of climate catastrophe (which he encourages), water wars (with broligarch-owned data centers already buying up water rights everywhere), and starvation-caused mass migrations (where he enables the cause and rejects the refugees). Stephen Miller's talked openly about "deporting" 2/3 of the American population. Obviously that's impossible, so what does "deporting" really mean? What if such a cull were implemented globally? We have the tools for that, and F47 is dumb enough to use them.
If he died today, F47 would already have established his legacy as not only the worst president but as one of the worst world leaders to have existed in history. As he continues, he'll rack up a score landing him as the single worst human to have ever lived. Ever. That is some freaking genius-caliber work, a master class in criminal incompetence. Just fucking amazing.
Hoover seems a saint by comparison.
