CMV: Trump is not the worst president in all history.

Right but to judge a president on factors out of their control doesn't make sense, you're giving Trump positive points simply because Obama left him a good economy and the rest of the world is functioning pretty well, which doesn't make sense. You can't judge 2 NASCAR drivers when one had to race in the rain and the other one didn't.

Then regarding hindsight there will have always been a better decision that could have been made, but you need to judge the reasonableness of those decisions in the moment. Did they do the best they could for the country with what they had available? Trump hasn't done that. He has prioritized things like not allowing a cruise ship to disembark so that official data reports could show lower numbers. Or continuing to say this will be over by Easter which no expert agrees with.
