I hear this quite often, and every time I think to myself "have people already forgotten about George W.?. Do they know about Nixon, Truman, Andrew Jackson?" I'm in no way trying to downplay Trump's ineptitude and bigotry, but so far, in terms of far reaching disastrous implications, he doesn't come close to those others I listed. Of course, it's early yet.
Trump is possibly the worst president, yes, even worse than George W. Atleast George had some sense of international relations and wasn't an actual leader in seperating the country even more, and even though he probably didn't give a crap about the lower class, he didn't do everything he could to rip their healthcare away and make matters worse. Trump is a despicable human beings who is messing with a lot of lives, while George pretty much just screwed over Iraq... still bad, just don't think nearly as bad. It is also hilarious how upset these athletes are making Trump, I would keep on doing the same things, guy is making a fool of himself with how he is dealing with the American media... Trump would be a dictator if he could, but just too much structure in place in the constitution to allow that.
Trudeau is not our worst PM ever, and I voted Harper. I have been slightly impressed with how well our economy has functioned in lieu of the energy sector going through a very bad time and the liberals spending, and also his ability to step up to Trump in NAFTA and trade talks with threats of his own. The liberals in Ontario need to go though, Wynn might be the worst premier we have had.
Honestly, our economy is probably doing well because of Harper...we probably won't feel the effects of Trudeau for a few more years. But, I don't think the two are that different. A lot of their policies are the same despite Trudeau pretending he's on the far left. I remember everyone wanted to get rid of Harper for Bill-c-51. Then Trudeau wins and also supports it and no one says sh*t about it. I don't know why you think Trudeau is good he's has almost backed out of every promise on his platform he's f*cking joke. I will never vote for the Libs or Cons ever again.
