    And if Trump had been president in 1801, how do you think he’d have treated his slaves? If he’d been president in 1830, do you think the Trail of Tears would have been any less than an overt genocide?

    Come on. This isn’t a real discussion if we’re just going to make up hypotheticals about what different presidents would do in different contexts. But even if we do base this on such speculation, Trump is still by a wide margin the worst president in American history, because it’s hard to imagine him not committing those same crimes but worse.
