So, he's going to be 21st century Taft with a dash of Hoover, basically?

I think it far more likely that Trump is going to be known as the start of a long slide into an oligarchy followed by bloody, violent rebellion. I think the future looks more like Tank Girl than Idiocracy.

Taft was really not that bad of a guy besides being fat and jolly, and Hoover was a great humanitarian privately, just a really lovely President

Compare him to Buchanan or Harding or something

The long slide began a while ago. I think Trump is going to be the accelerant if anything.

buchanan or Johnson will always be the worst. i think trump will probably be in the top 5 worst, though.

quote:

Moments after President Trump ended his phone call with Ukraine’s president on July 25, an unsettled national security aide rushed to the office of White House lawyer John Eisenberg.

Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine adviser at the White House, had been listening to the call and was disturbed by the pressure Trump had applied to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate his political rivals, according to people familiar with Vindman’s testimony to lawmakers this week.

Vindman told Eisenberg, the White House’s legal adviser on national security issues, that what the president did was wrong, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

Scribbling notes on a yellow legal pad, Eisenberg proposed a step that other officials have said is at odds with long-standing White House protocol: moving a transcript of the call to a highly classified server and restricting access to it, according to two people familiar with Vindman’s account.

why are you comparing trump to taft? taft was pretty ok president, not great but not a fuckup either

if it's because taft was notoriously fat, he was able to not only joke about his weight but used it in his campaign to project a neighborly character

taft fat jokes

quote:

"One day I was in the President's private room ... when Senator Chauncey Depew came in. ... After we had talked serious matters for a few minutes and were about to depart, Mr. Depew stepped up to Taft and, taking liberties that I never would have thought of taking with a president, said to him, putting his hand on Mr. Taft's big frontal development: 'What are you going to call it when it comes, Mr. President?' It was just about that time when Mr. Taft was beginning to have some difficulty with Roosevelt, and he quickly responded: 'Well, if it's a boy, I'll call it William; if it's a girl, I'll call it Theodora; but if it turns out to be just wind, I'll call it Chauncey.'"

quote:

After Taft lost the election of 1912, Yale University sent a man to the White House to suggest that Taft accept a Chair of Law at the University. Taft replied that a Chair would not be adequate, but that if the University would provide a Sofa of Law, "it might be all right"

quote:

Taft was the first President to use automobiles regularly. There was a debate in Congress whether money should be appropriated to acquire autos for the White House. One Congressman remarked during the debate: "The incoming President [Taft] proposes to abandon horses for reasons that the gentleman well knows: he does not wish to violate the law against cruelty to animals"

quote:

"Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court said that 'Taft is the politest man in Washington; the other day he gave up his seat in a street-car to three ladies.'"

Just from a salesmanship standpoint you'd think he'd have absorbed somewhere along the 70-year line that if you talk solely in superlatives you just make your mark less likely to trust what you're saying. Nothing can be that good!

... Though I guess there'll always be a certain kind of mark who is attracted to a person like him, with power and charisma (of a sort) and a too-good-to-be-true story to tell, and who will happily lap it up because it seems at first to be panning out, and eventually you're in too deep to remember that you once knew it was a grift.

Why does anyone give Trump credit for any skill at business, even now :confused:

it came up last time but i would like to note that despite advancements in tailoring technology Taft was INFINITELY more dapper than Donald Trump, because he accepted that he was fat and had his tailor make him look good, rather than focusing on trying to look less-fat
