I don't believe Trump was the first pedophile president for even a moment.

[–] philophilsaurus@sh.itjust.works 70 points 1 week ago

You have to qualify it as Openly* Pedophile.

First president found to have committed rape by a court of law.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can be first at anything if you use enough qualifiers.

That was a single qualifier.

yeah thomas jefferson was president SUPER early in US history and had sex with a 14 year old girl he owned as deeded property, and who was the grand daughter of his father in law (from whom he got the deed for her mother as part of a dowry)

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Lol I didn't have the specifics but for some reason the first person I thought about was Thomas Jefferson. Thanks for sharing!

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thomas Jefferson was the first pedophile president.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't even confidently say that

Jesus do you have evidence that John Adams or Washington was a nonce too? Fuck, do we need to go deeper? Peyton Randolph?!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I have no evidence Washington was a pedophile, but I've heard enough stories of slave owners that I don't give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who owned large numbers of slaves.

Not true for trump just for an obvious example Jefferson starting raping Heming's when she was 14 and I'm sure if i looked there are more to find.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Wasn't 14 the legal age or something back then? So gross!

She was also his wife’s enslaved half sister

Nowhere near the first.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 19 points 1 week ago

First convicted felon for sure

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When first president who isn't a cis middle aged man?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That needs to be Trump's official photo, to replace his current photo posted in every government office across the USA

[–] Jackusflackus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ugh we still have 3 more years of this shit

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now hold on. Why 3? Could be shorter. You've seen his cankles, right?

[–] RipLemmDotEE@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you believe the T bag's death will stop this administration's agenda, I have bad news for you: it won't. Project 2025 is much larger than Trump, and its architects will stop at nothing to turn the US into the Christian States of America.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

But his base and much of the movement will likely die with him based on cults of the past.

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Martin Van Buren was the first (and only!) president to learn English as a second language

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Second.
The first paedo pres was in office during the years of 2016 to 2020.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Didn't Clinton also go to Epstein's island? And I doubt he was the first.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wouldn't that still make trump the first one? I don't get what you're saying

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

He's such a disgusting person that I think he deserves first and second place.
