There's a reason he had one in the first place. It's the same reason why lame people use crutches.
What We’re Watching While Taking COVID-19 Precautions: ‘Devs’, ‘Mimic’ … and Golf
@J Yep. I just couldn't see the actual tending page to validate my statements until I got back home on my computer.
#COVID_19: 10 people talking, 10 recent toots, #1 trending.
#Coronavirus: 97 people talking, 255 recent toots, not trending.

I agree with a lot of that.
I agree that the ideal would be a president who is better in every way than every predecessor, and is accurately perceived as such by every human and always presented perfectly be every media personality. I also don't believe that something is good just because someone else did it first.
But my only question was about the claim that Trump is the Worst President in History, and what that means, if anything. So in this context, it really matters how he compares, not only to Obama and Bush, but to John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce and Millard Fillmore. Has Trump been less honest or more divisive than Polk? What about Garfield? I have no idea, so I try to not make that kind of claim. I'm not claiming anyone at the WORST IN ALL HISTORY or the BEST OF ALL TIME, but seeking clarity about those who make those universal claims to see what's supporting them.
I think it tends to mean : I don't like him.

I'm as shocked as you are to discover that a politician isn't the epitome of honesty.
I've read through a number of "false and misleading claims" at the link you shared, and it's things like : he's cherry picking numbers, he's generalizing, he's staying numbers that China hasn't yet confirmed, his "almost this number" is rounding up....
When this is what's being reported on, it's hard to take it seriously. However, I do wonder how this compares to how they tracked previous presidents. Do they have a site like this where they documented every time previous presidents rounded up numbers, exaggerated, took things out of context? When judging Trump against all other presidents in history, we'd want an even comparison.
I read comments on #qoto recently that Trump is the Worst President Ever. Are there objective measures that can be used in such a claim? Or is it more meaning something more : of everyone who is president of the USA in 2020, he's my least favorite?
(Sometimes it's hard to tell if the level of political commentary is like my 3 year old declaring it's the Worst Day Ever when she can't get a third serving of ice cream.)

At least to worst we had to deal with was a few poor weeping souls who had to go back to a toxic home environment.
