    Binary thinking is bad for the world. Even people who do horrible things can do good as well. Those can be talked about, especially when his successor is so unbelievably awful; the comparison lands.

      Exactly what metric are you using? Trump, as bad as he is, still has a smaller body count than Biden, Obama, or Dubya.

      And exactly where is the “good”? Not golfing? That not only isn’t irrelevant, it’s not even true. He golfed plenty.

        “what metric” and “as bad as” and naming 1 thing are entirely the binaries that they were talking about

        you have successfully completely missed the point

        Are you kidding me? Trump killed more people with DOGE cuts than all of the above combined. In fact, he likely killed as many Americans with COVID incompetence as the above combined killed brown people in the Middle East over the last 20 years. DJT is a despicable monster, and the damage he has caused will not be truly understood for decades.
