Two things that make Trump the worst and arguably traitor to the US. Just so you know where I stand.
He literally try to overturn an election and remain king.
He piled on $8,400,000,000,000 to national debt. $2.5T came from his stupid tax cut law, which were only off set in the billions of increased tariffs, and about $2.3 from discretionary spending increase, plain old Republicans in charge and spending out the wazzu. Saving the last one $3.6T for COVID relief and laws, which everyone and their grandma pointed out the potential for fraud and abuse, but no guard rails were put in place and DOJ is merely chasing back millions in peanuts only because some fraudster was too stupid to keep their mouths shut.
Circumventing the Constitution and exacerbating the wealth inequality, were real acts of degrading the US, and at best just not giving a damn about the American people. Compared to all the other crap he did that were more performative, while below the office if the President, these two things have long term effect of weakening the county that I love. He's the worst President and the modern Republicans are only in for themselves.
I would argue the damage from stacking the Supreme Court with corrupt nut jobs may have the worst fall out in the end.
I think you should add in the incompetence in handling the whole covid fiasco.
I think calling it incompetence is being too nice.
For sure-- the cities got hit hardest early on, so what he saw initially was blue votes dying and just let it happen.
Sigh. I mean, we could go deep into the rabbit hole and talk about how he thought that he could kill off Blue State voters, but let's be charitable and just call him a nitwit and not a genocidal lunatic.
Sometimes, I'm just too nice.

Even without any of that, his public actions alone are enough.
The full story is just worse. :/
You guys seem to forget that everyone was in panic mode when COVID started shutting everything down. Remember people actually dying over toilet paper? Remember 2020 George Floyd Riots and CHAZ taking over an entire city? Saying it's due to incompetence is grossly disregarding the events that took place. It was a complete shit show all around and NOBODY wanted to take accountability.
CHAZ did not take over Seattle…. Come on.
If only....
Can you link to anyone actually dying over toilet paper? Searched repeatedly and found nothing. Same with CHAZ taking over a city.
The riot I remember was when a neo-Nazi ran over an innocent woman in Charleston.
NOBODY else was President, and taking responsibility is in the job description
Finally, people died as the direct result of Trump tellign them to use unsafe treatments.

I think you should add in promoting the imperial interests of a very hostile power, Russia, to your list.
