Have we ever had a president so abusive to his fellow man?

[kentuck]

So reckless with his comments about others?

Have we ever had a president as ignorant and divisive as Donald Trump?

Being a citizen of America is like living in an abusive relationship.

And they say there is nothing we can do.

Well, stop the bus! Let me off!

1. I say,

we throw his ass from the bus while doing 65 down the interstate.

[walkingman]

2. Throw his sorry ass out of the WH ASAP along with the GOP asshats that continue to support him.

[raccoon]

4. Exactly, the Republicans could have done something a long time ago--but the assholes didn't. nt

3. Andrew Jackson (Trump's "mentor") comes close

Andrew Jackson (president 1829–37)

When Jackson was inaugurated, he held a party in the White House to which anyone was invited. People trashed the place, even snipping bits out of the curtains as souvenirs. This story confirmed all the worst fears of Jackson’s critics. His predecessor, John Quincy Adams, who Jackson had defeated in a horrifically bad-tempered election, was so horrified by Jackson’s triumph that he refused to attend the inauguration – the last outgoing president in history to have boycotted his successor’s big day. Men like Adams – who came from a Massachusetts family that had fought for Independence and feared for the survival of the republic (particularly his father, John Adams) – saw Jackson as a profane, unprincipled demagogue; a would-be tyrant in the Napoleonic mode; a man with no respect for the checks and balances of the Constitution or the rule of law. --snip--

In office, Jackson was an aggressive wielder of the president’s hitherto unused veto power. He stopped Congress from spending money on new roads or canals, and he prevented the re-charter of the Bank of the United States, which had attempted to regulate the money supply and served as a lender of last resort. And whatever political challenge he faced, his language was hyperbolic. “You are a den of vipers and thieves,” he wrote to the directors of the Bank of the US, “I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out”. When he left office, the country was plunged into the deepest recession anyone could remember.

And, that does not even get into Jackson's systematic Indian genocide.

7. That's the only one I could think of.

"Old Hickory" had quite the reputation of being as much of a rat as Trump is. That is not a comparison where I would aspire to be neck and neck, but Trump probably doesn't even know who Andrew Jackson was. I'm sure it has been decades since he last saw the portrait on a twenty dollar bill.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Jackson is Trump's hero...

Trump moved Jackson's portrait into the oval office. I don't think it had hung there in many decades.

[WePurrsevere]

8. Trump is well on his way to being even worse. What's horrifying is that...

as flat out awful as Jackson was, stupid white men apparently voted him in twice.

God/dess but I hope we get enough true Americans voting for our candidate to override any and all KGOP/Russian interference so we can dump Trump in 2020.

5. Thank God he'e human. ( I think)

That means he can't hurt people forever!

6. Jefferson Davis.

9. Andrew Jackson

10. I long for the days of GWB sadly.....

[demigoddess]

11. lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up!

[Demovictory9]

15. I've never encountered anyone as abusive as Trump.
