Why would we ever elect an asshole president though?
America elected Andrew Jackson and we learned our lesson. /s
People voted for him because he was a war hero and said fuck the banks. As a result, when he was elected he paid off the national debt. I don't mean he didn't run a deficit, he paid off the entire balance.
If you think Trump is comparable, just look at the deficit he left us
Meanwhile, he also held degenerate parties at the WH (actually pretty cool) and committed horrible wholesale atrocities against native Americans (very not cool).
And yet, rated as an above average president by historians. Trump is somewhere at the bottom of the pile
Not native historians lol
