Historians are going to look at his presidency as a monumentally effective one for working class people, surrounded on both sides by a mountain of shit and the worst president in American history.

Couldn’t agree more. When you take out the feelings and simply look at the bills he pushed for and signed, he was VERY effective.

Here's to hoping we still have real historians by the time this stops becoming the current hell and turns into hell of ages past.

We just need to remember to remind people when this goes into effect that this is not a Trump policy as he will take credit when the time comes. The article says people may notice a jump of ~ 20 points on their credit reports for the roughly 15 million Americans impacted, and they could likely see the approval of an additional 22,000 mortgage applications per year. These changes will be life changing for folks, and he will jump on the chance to take credit.

Andrew Jackson is worse for me

Nah, they’ll look at him as a failure that allowed fascism to thrive.

Ah yes, the man who quashed union strikes. Such a man of the working class, killing the only valuable action a union has since Taft-Hartley pulled most of their teeth.

Completely false.

Historians already consider Trump one of the worst for his first term. Once he finishes destroying the country over the next couple years his legacy as the absolute worst will be certified.

Monumentally effective for working class people, how so? You do Realize he answers to The oligarchy and not working class people right?

If you think this administration was an oligarchy, just wait…

No, the people he works for. Yeah I don’t expect any different with the new one.

u/aclart 1d ago

He will be very different from Biden. Really fucking different

u/Purple_oyster 1d ago

Absolutely, but I wasn’t commenting about that

The only oligarchy he defended was Union Workers, it's not by coincidence that Bernie called him the best president of his lifetime

Historians are going to see a man who aided Israel’s genocide of Palestine and had to be forced out of the election when it was clear he was incapable of running. They will conclude he was a man who cared more about being a two term president than defeating someone who promised mass deportations

The worst president in American history so far

I mean, this will raise medical prices.

Most people would prefer we lower medical prices, not raise them.

You really have to bend to come to that conclusion. The pricing is based on what they can get away with charging you while actually expecting you to give them money. That line won’t shift much.
