We are one year into the second term of the worst President in American History

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2026/01/one-year-into-second-trump-term-and.html

No, I did not listen to the rambling, disjointed, incoherent, fumbling, bumbling, and frankly, boring to comatose press conference given by Trump to mark his first full year in office of his second term. I can't stand to watch or listen to him, knowing that every word that comes out of his mouth has no connection to the real world, is not true, and is nothing more than another symptom of his narcissism and dysfunctional ego, mixed with a good measure of dementia.

Donald Trump was, in his first term, one of the worst presidents in American history. His term in office was predictably bad, the fact that he had trouble demonstrating competence working the drive in window at a McDonalds a precursor for the manner in which he handled the job as President. This is a man who, honestly, could not pass an eighth grade constitution or history test. And as far as his personal morality and character go, well, not everyone who has occupied the White House has had character that matches its exterior color, and Trump's womanizing, affairs, including the tryst he tried to cover up with a porn star, cheating in business, added to the recent rape convictions, seditious attack on the Capitol and what he may have done with Jeffrey Epstein are pretty bad compared to just about anyone else who has served as President.

We knew we were getting this when the Republicans nominated him. And Democrats, the ones who, when we had control of Congress would not break the senate filibuster to amend the judiciary act and pack the Supreme Court, which would have eliminated the possibility of a second Trump term, sort of botched the possibility to run someone who could have easily beaten him if they'd had two years and a full campaign to do it. They knew what a second Trump term would bring. The way that was handled wasn't my mistake.
