So we're just gonna forget about Andrew Jackson?
I just did a quick search to brush up on why Andrew Jackson is a bad president, and I found a lot of similarities about corruption, ruling for personal gain or spite, authoritarianism, distrusting professional merit-based employees and replacing with personal loyalty-based amateurs , etc. Jackson starts with a lead as a war hero, but then again Trump didn’t try to destroy native Americans
Jackson also blatantly committed the high crime of ignoring a lawful court order from the supreme court. But congress knew it was political suicide to censure him for the trail of tears(which was absurdly popular) so he wasn't impeached for it.
Trump is pretty bad. But he didn't order a genocide and flout checks and balances to do it. Not that he isntr trying.
I think attempted genocide still counts, tbh.
I think successful genocide is worse bc we know he went through with it. It's theoretically possible that trump wouldn't even though I'm 99 percent sure he would.
