That's turning into an American tradition. My old man (1927-2008) was pretty consistent in saying that the only president he voted for who he actually liked was Truman. I feel the U.S. hasn't seen an actual good president since about Eisenhower--everything since has been mediocre or mixed at best, and many have been outright bad.
It's tempting to draw a parallel to the string of weak-to-incompetent emperors Rome suffered through during the middle years of the third century. If there's a silver lining it's that the empire did eventually recover to some degree, at least for a time.

With respect to your picture Jibartik, I sincerely hope the Democrats are smart enough to let Trump walk away once the time comes (whether it's 2021 or 2025). Going after him would set an awful precedent and do much to destroy two and a half centuries of peaceful transfer of power in this country.
