"Technically, the United States didn't get bad, it's always been bad! It only got worse!" isn't the flex a lot of leftists think it is.

The point is it isn't really worse. Yet, anyway. He's only been president for a few weeks so obviously it can get worse.

But right now, Trump is about as bad as every other president. Bad in different ways, of course, but they all belong in prison.

I disagree. No president has ever abandoned a democratic ally to invasion by an imperialist dictator for such petty, malicious reasons.

They might all belong in prison, but that's like saying a shoplifter is just as bad as a serial killer.

Well now hold on, we did that to the Kurds in... Wait, nevermind, that was also Trump.
