How much worse was the Trump presidency than what you predicted? [View all]

I knew it would be bad, but holy shit I couldn’t have dreamed up half the stuff that has happened. Leading a literal coup and sheer stupidity leading to a loss of life of nearly half a million Americans in less than a year really takes the cake.

I expected him to be as bad as Dubya, but staging a coup makes him the worst president ever.

Did you predict it would be this bad?
