You know you've failed when you rank lower than the guy who only served 28 days.

[johnwhite]

Man he's going down as one of the worst humans in history.

[busa]

Depends which of the 2 parallel realities you live in.

[abhishekvenkata]

One thing I can tell he was the one of the most consiquential presidents. You WILL read about him in the history books

[TheEarthRealm]

YES. DUH. He was already the worst when he first entered the White House.

[wernertutsch]

He will always be remembered as the worst a huge margin.

[MsGrapeNehi]

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Hell yes.

Trump needs to be held accountable. No exceptions.

[DomingoDeSantaClara]

Maybe go down in history as the worst human being...I can't think of a character flaw he hasn't got.

[zenoist]

Laughing at the comments which seem to be totally at odds with like disklike ratio, No worries yotube can always pull out a suitcase of like ballots.

[vthdhbv]

Is this even a question after he literaly tried a coup?

[augustus]

Let's just say us in Europe will never look at the US the same again, considering he was ever even taken seriously as a presidential candidate.
That being said, I look forward to renewed cooparation and I hope a renewed alliance.

[JoseGarcia-miig]

Literally the rest of the planet: Is this even a question?

[gardy]

He is & was the worst. No man can ever keep up with all the lies, cruelty, nastiness and tries to get away with it. Well like they say everybody gets they day .
