@RoxClymer like who?
@RoxClymer for 7 months in office, he is well on his way
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
@dark548 any number of the Presidents that owned slaves for one

@RoxClymer We're talking about job performance, not what they did or did not own.

@DCarey slave ownershlp of African people is some pretty bad foreign policy for an American president if you ask me

@RoxClymer My best college professor told me "Don't judge historical figures by the era in which you live but the era in which THEY lived."
That being said, do you think Napoleon gave a damn whether or not Jefferson owned slaves when he sold Louisiana to the US?
Did you know that slavery was brought to what became the United States by the British and lasted less than 100 years in the US? And the US was the only country which fought a war to end slavery? Of course you don't know that. Because you've always been brainwashed "BuT MerIcA EviL" and "BUt muH SlaVerY."

@RoxClymer And if a laugh emoji is the best response you can come up with, you know I'm right. Have a nice day. Try to educate yourself and challenge your brain (such as it is) with information that challenges your long-held beliefs.

@DCarey I know I can't look through it with 21st century eyes, I also know the British started it with the trade triangle,

I also know that the British stopped it Long before we did and from Day one people were fighting against, Harriet Tubman, the underground railroad and all that.

@RoxClymer And it ended with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War. Meanwhile, all over the world, slavery lasted longer and in some places still exists.

@DCarey exactly, I was just giving an example of worse presidents than our current president, nothing more

Personally I think US politics has been on a down hill slide since about 1965, and really haven't cared for any of them
