Looking for some of the more aged members of SW to weigh in: Has another president in your lifetime generated so much division or worldwide ridicule?

Obviously we always consider the events of our own lifetimes to be the most important or different than those that came before. Whether you support him or revile him, Trump has been the focal point of a division in his country approaching civil war. Or so it seems.

You older folks who have seen a few presidents come and go, has it ever been like this?

George W Bush started a decline in international relations, but people were overjoyed when Obama got in

@SW-User In Europe, most people were not exactly overjoyed when they understood there is a global surveillance system installed by the US.

@helenS I am ignorant about that, though it's not surprising

@SW-User It's what Edward Snowden told us.
