Massive grift and corruption and scandal, without any apology, or attempt to hide—that is the Donald Trump Presidency, by far the worst, most evil Presidency in American history, far surpassing the Richard Nixon, Warren G. Harding, Ulysses S. Grant, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush administrations!
Notice that all of the most corrupt administrations were under Republican Presidents, a tragic reality that the party that was founded in the opposition to the expansion of slavery in 1854 has become the party of a totally different perspective on everything that the party represented under Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War Era and Theodore Roosevelt in the Progressive Era.
But Donald Trump is far worse in the level of venality than any of the earlier Presidents, with the only competitor for that unfortunate distinction being Richard Nixon.
When the era of Donald Trump is part of history, it will provide legions of investigation and research to uncover so much grift, corruption and scandal that at present is not even fully understood or realized.
Presidential scholars already rank Trump in the bottom three Presidents, alongside James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson, but the horrible events and controversies that are occurring now insure that Donald Trump will end up solidly in the basement as the worst, and in many ways, most dangerous President in American history, bar none.
The tragedy of it all is that Donald Trump really does not care about public opinion or Presidential experts, and the American population still contains 30-40 percent who think everything is fine, a troubling scenario that will undermine the American future for many decades moving forward.

Before the 1960s, trust in the federal government was relatively high (around 75%). By the time Nixon left office in 1974, we as a nation, had a whole generation that learned that the people in power were the people who were not to be trusted. The scandal cemented the notion our government might be lying, turning what was once a high level of confidence, had fallen to 36%! A deep, enduring cynicism.
Unfortunately, today we are seeing a new level being displayed with this Trump Administration’s that most of us back then would have never fathomed….. yet here we are.
Time will tell how history will write this story.
