Man look, I don't like Trump either, but it is legitimately offensive to so many minorities to call him the "worst president" when you have contenders like Andrew Jackson
Did Jackson lead an insurrection against his own country while trying to divide them into civil war at every step?
He genocided the Native Americans. He ignored the constitutional structure of the executive and developed his own “kitchen cabinet” effectively siphoning power to give to his friends.
Trump too though. Still pales in comparison to genocide.
It’s not offensive it’s just recency bias. How are people honestly supposed to rank a leader that is 100+ years away from their own lives? It’s just a poll, it’s not a course on all the presidents and then an invitation to rank them in order.
Trump is the worst president in most living people’s lifetime, extrapolating more than that from this is a mistake.
I will maintain the position that Ronald Reagan did more damage to this country than any other president in modern times.
