Trump blurted insults and showed off lewd photos at shivah for accountant’s mother https://www.rawstory.com/allen-weisselberg-donald-trump/ Donald Trump showed off nude photos and made passes at family members as his accountant's family sat shivah for their matriarch. Investigators in the Manhattan district attorney's office have debriefed Jennifer Weisselberg, the former daughter-in-law of Trump accountant Allen Weisselberg, who prosecutors are trying to "flip" against his longtime boss, reported The New Yorker. "His whole worth is, 'Does Donald like me today?'" Jennifer Weisselberg said. "It's his whole life, his core being. He's obsessed. He has more feelings and adoration for Donald than for his wife." She said the pair conduct their business closely after working together since the 1970s. "You walk down the hall, it's Allen-Donald, Allen-Donald — they don't do anything separately," she said. "Allen would know everything." Jennifer Weisselberg first met Trump before she was married at the accountant's modest home in Wantagh, Long Island, as the family sat shivah for Allen Weisselburg's mother, and Trump wasted no time insulting his company's chief financial officer. "This is where my C.F.O. lives?" Trump said, getting out of his limousine. "It's embarrassing!" Once inside, Trump showed off photographs of himself with naked women on a yacht to shivah attendees before turning his attention to Jennifer Weisselberg, a former dancer and choreographer. "After that, he starts hitting on me," she said. Allen Weisselberg humored Trump instead of standing up for her -- or himself -- and she said that helps explain why she doubts that her former father-in-law would turn on Trump under pressure, as longtime attorney Michael Cohen eventually did. "I don't know," Jennifer Weisselberg said. "For Donald, it's a business. But for Allen it's a love affair."
Fox News host Juan Williams in Op-Ed on Trump's legacy as US President:"The bottom line is that he produced the greatest failure of presidential leadership in history" Juan Williams: Trump's jealous rants can't hide his failures https://thehill.com/opinion/white-h...s-trumps-jealous-rants-cant-hide-his-failures How green with envy is Donald Trump? President Biden has him begging for attention. Since Biden’s inauguration, the COVID-19 infection rate has been cut by well over half. And last week congressional Democrats passed Biden’s popular COVID-19 relief bill. The economy is rebounding, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up about 19 percent since Election Day. Poor Trump. All he can do is put out a whiny statement. “I hope everyone remembers when they’re getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you would be getting that beautiful ‘shot’ for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn’t be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!” We remember the shortage of vaccine when he left office. We remember there was no plan for getting Americans vaccinated. And who can forget that Trump lied from the start about the severity of the virus and later promoted a quack, phony cure? The bottom line is that he produced the greatest failure of presidential leadership in history. In January, Trump’s last month in the White House, the nation had the highest number of COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began. Shortly after he left office, the virus death toll topped 500,000. With Biden in the White House, the nation has turned that around in 50 days. COVID-19 infection rates and deaths are sharply down while the number of people getting shots has more than doubled to over 2 million a day. Biden promised 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office. He is on track to do it. And now Biden says there will be enough vaccine for all Americans by the end of May. Trump and his aides are reduced to complaining that Biden’s team is “using our playbook every step of the way.” They correctly note that Trump got vaccine production started. But people outside of politics say there is no comparing the administrations. “Corporate, state and federal officials agree Mr. Biden’s White House has been more active than his predecessor’s in trying to build up the nation’s vaccine stock,” The New York Times reported last week. The American public agrees. Biden’s approval rate was 60 percent last week in both a CBS poll and a Morning Consult-Politico poll. Trump left office in January with a 34 percent approval rating, according to Gallup. He is the only president who never reached a 50 percent approval rating in a Gallup poll. Biden’s COVID-19 aid bill is also a winner with public opinion. Despite not a single Republican in Congress supporting the bill, the Biden coronavirus relief package won approval from both Republican and Democratic voters. In the Morning Consult poll, 75 percent of the nation supported Biden’s $1.9 trillion package. Even 59 percent of Republicans supported the bill, the poll found. Just as importantly, Americans are happy with Biden’s response to the pandemic, with more than 60 percent approving, according to polling by NPR, CBS and Pew Research. Oh, and this has to burn Trump: In the NPR poll, Biden’s handling of the virus got the approval of 22 percent of people who say they voted for Trump. Overall, about one-third of Republicans approved. Biden’s positive poll ratings on handling the virus are almost the exact opposite of Trump’s. In October, a month before the election, 59 percent of Americans disapproved of how Trump was dealing with it, according to a Reuters poll. Trump’s own pollster said the negative public reaction to Trump’s approach to the virus cost him the November election. Tony Fabrizio, his top pollster, said the coronavirus was the top issue in the presidential contest. A majority of voters who ranked the virus as the top issue disapproved of how Trump handled the crisis. Fabrizio found those voters favored Biden by a margin close to 3 to 1. It is a rule of politics that in any crisis there is a rally-around-the-leader surge in public support. But Trump’s response to the COVID-19 crisis was so bad that his approval numbers went down. A year ago, Trump gave an Oval office speech to the nation in which he said “the risk is very, very low” that the virus was a threat to kill a large number of Americans. Now, Trump insists on credit for starting vaccine production. But he has nothing more to contribute about dealing with the fallout from the pandemic. At the moment, most of his statements are attacks on Republicans he views as not loyal to him. In one statement, he ridiculed Republican political strategist Karl Rove as a man who “has been losing for years, except for himself.” In another statement, Trump trashed the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page. He said the Journal’s editorial support for moderate Republicans had “so badly hurt the Republican Party,” adding, “Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore.” In yet another statement, Trump asked his supporters to send their political donations to his political action committee and not to the Republican National Committee. Trump will get his wish to be remembered. He will be remembered for his jealous rage. Juan Williams is an author, and a political analyst for Fox News Channel.
Indeed.Historians had already had him ranked in the bottom 3 before Covid,the insurrection,2nd impeachment and loseing re-election.Its not hard to figure out where he'll be ranked now.
How will Joe Biden rank if he dies while in office and Kamala Harris takes over? Dead Last Place, that is how he will rank. He better take care of himself and quit eating cake after dinner.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...siena-presidential-ranking-survey/2857075002/ William Cummings, USA TODAY Published 10:18 a.m. ET Feb. 13, 2019 | Updated 10:55 a.m. ET Feb. 13, 2019 WASHINGTON – Do not expect President Donald Trump to tweet any praises for the Siena College Research Institute any time soon. In its sixth presidential ranking since 1982, 157 scholars surveyed by the institute ranked Trump the third worst president of all time after Andrew Johnson (who was impeached) and James Buchanan (whose presidency was followed by the Civil War). https://www.ibtimes.com/trump-worst-president-us-history-political-scientists-claim-2765338 Donald Trump is rated the worst president in American history by a group of 170 political science scholars. Being ranked 44th and last among U.S. presidents classified Trump as a failure, according to the survey’s parameters. On the other hand, this group selected Abraham Lincoln as the best among all presidents in the history of the American Republic since 1776. Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, took eighth place, and was also the highest ranked among the five living presidents. Obama was in 18th place during the last survey four years ago. Among the three other living presidents, Bill Clinton ranked 13th, Jimmy Carter, 26th and George W. Bush, 30th. The ranking of presidents by order of greatness was determined by members of the Presidents & Executive Politics section of the American Political Science Association. These scholars completed an online survey between December 2017 and January 2018.
Analysis by Harry Enten, CNN (CNN) Poll of the week: A new Gallup poll puts President Donald Trump's approval rating at 38%. His disapproval rating stands at 57%. The average poll similarly shows Trump's approval rating hovering around 40%, while his disapproval rating is above 55%. What's the point: Trump's approval rating isn't getting any better. In the polls, he is continuing to lose to former Vice President Joe Biden by double-digits. Trump could win a second term, but there is no clear path to doing so. If Trump does go on to lose in November, he doesn't just need to worry about losing to Biden. Trump needs to worry about the fact that the history books are probably going to put him down as a below average president, if not one of the worst. While I have my problems with historical rankings of presidents as an exercise (e.g. the graders tend to be far more liberal than the population at large), they are a good guide into understanding how history remembers presidents. The presidents viewed at the top of the lists (George Washington and Abraham Lincoln historically) or near the top (Ronald Reagan) tend to be thought of fondly. Meanwhile, those at or near the bottom of the list (such as James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson) are generally thought of as failures as president. The biggest factor separating those who rate highly and those who don't is whether they win a second term in office. Take a look at an average ranking by experts in the 2018 American Political Science Association poll and 2018 Siena College poll. The average ranking for presidents who win a second term is 14th. That's well above average given we've had 44 presidents. None ranked lower than 32nd (George W. Bush). The best was the top spot overall (Washington). The average for presidents who did not win a second term is 30th. That's well below average. None of the presidents who didn't have a second term ranked higher than 13th (John Kennedy, who was assassinated). The worst was last overall (Buchanan). Just on this basis alone, you'd think that Trump would probably go down as below average if he lost in November. We wouldn't know quite where he'd land, but it'd be a pretty good bet that he wouldn't finish in the top half. I'd bet Trump would dip even lower given where the historians already have him. The average of the APSA and Siena polls put Trump at 43rd, which ties him for last with Buchanan. At the time the APSA poll was published, I urged caution since it was one poll done early in Trump's presidency. Now, we have the Siena poll as well. Additionally, more voters by far said Trump was the worst president since World War II in a 2018 Quinnipiac University poll. (Few ranked him as the best, which is very different from a similar poll taken during Obama's second term.) Importantly, these early rankings are generally predictive of later rankings in a look back at presidents since Franklin Roosevelt (the first modern presidential ranking was completed three years after he last held office). Since 1948, the final historian rankings of a president during their time in office (or the first after they leave office) has differed from their current ranking by just four spots. The median difference has been a mere two spots. The presidents who tend to improve the most (such as Dwight Eisenhower) are ones who get that second term. Now, there is obviously some chance Trump could be ranked higher than at the end of 2018. I tend to doubt it, though, because his standing among the public is not any better now than it was then. All told, historians at the end of his first term are likely going to view Trump quite negatively. His only real chance of seeing improvement is to earn that second term, which seems to be something that is becoming less likely by the day.
