Has any president ever stepped on his dick this hard before? [View all]

Jackson and Van Buren did the Trail of Tears. Buchanan let the Civil War happen. Harding's administration had the Teapot Dome Scandal. Hoover and the Smoot-Hawley Act caused the Depression. FDR interned Japanese-Americans. JFK committed troops to Viet Nam and oversaw the Bay of Pigs disaster. LBJ and Nixon escalated the Vietnam War. Nixon did Watergate. Ford pardoned Nixon. Reagan had the Iran-Contra scandal. Bush II caused the Iraq/Afghanistan debacle.

But as bad as these mistakes and intentional acts of fuckery were, none of those presidents started a war for no particular reason he could articulate, threatened to annihilate an entire civilization, and left his own country, not to mention the rest of the world, worse off than they were - except for the country he went to war with, which despite being damaged militarily, is now more powerful economically and politically than it ever was before.

You really have to try to be that galactically stupid, and nobody but Trump could pull it off.
