I dislike Trump and I'm not American, but is he "objectively" worse than the president who started a multi-decade war motivated by lies and false intelligence t

  From a world history perspective, touche, but from an American history perspective he almost certainly still is.

  Of course he's not. But the liberal media elite have twisted his likeness into a demon, far as many Americans are concerned. Whether it was because it was fashionable, a tantrum because he won in 2016, that he is just abrasive/obnoxious, or what remains to be seen. But it certainly wasn't because of a preponderance of fact and reason. There's plenty of reason for people to criticize Trump, but the outsized hysteria is not likely something that history will look upon with affirmation. He did end his presidency with spectacularly bad form, but even the degree to which he's blamed for some of the stuff that occurred is both hypocritical and irrational. (Again, largely fed by media and political narrative.) That the Left emerges to think that they are somehow superior is laughable. They're sick and twisted, too. But they won't know that because of what their constantly fed. Ironically, my wife—who is as progressive as they come—feels similarly. There is a massive disease in America right now—both sides included—and the actions of the last few years probably won't be looked upon fondly by history.
