Is Donald Trump the worst president ever?
I've seen that assertion quite a bit lately. No question, Donald Trump is a despicable human being and was a horrible president. But worst president ever? Here are some worse ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_who_owned_slaves That list includes George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. No matter their accomplishments, no matter their leadership, THEY OWNED SLAVES! They kept other human beings as personal property! They treated black human beings like we treat cattle today. Yes, I know times were different. I know it was accepted then. That's not an excuse. There were already American abolitionists in colonial times. Donald Trump is many terrible things, including a racist. But he's never owned slaves. A little historical perspective, please.
