Presidential Historian Sums Up Trump's Presidency In A Single Word—And It's Brutally Accurate

The presidency of Donald Trump has had its share of controversy. According to Gallup, an analytics firm, at 34% Trump has the lowest approval rating of any President of the United States since the firm started tracking in 1938.

After losing his re-election campaign Trump joined the only ten other incumbent Presidents to ever get their party's nomination but fail to be re-elected. Trump lost the popular vote in both elections.


Trump is currently still facing down a potential conviction for inciting the Capitol riot that lead to the death of five people, including a Capitol Police officer, on January 6. Setting another record, Trump is the first President in history to be impeached twice and he managed it in just one term as President.

Newly elected President Joe Biden has commented the trial to convict Trump of "incitement to insurrection…has to happen." Others are also showing support with ten Republican House members voting to side with the Democrats after the Capitol riots, with many citing the rally and speech Trump had at the White House encouraged his supporters to violent action.

The substantial list of controversies and the above history lead presidential historian for NBC, Michael Beschloss, to summarize Trump's presidency as a perfect definition of a single word:

"Disgraced."



Beschloss who is the author of ten separate books about Presidents of the United States was not alone in his summation.

Citizens on social media have been vocal about their feelings about former President Trump's actions.









One thing is for certain, Trump has had a Presidency that will not quickly be forgotten—albeit not for the reasons the former President would desire.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
