I highly doubt this. It feels like just another symptom of what they're describing here about memory versus present experience. Ask me if I think Trump seems nastier than Reagan and yeah, he does. But that's because I have a living impression of both of them and I was a child when Reagan was president. I can't say Putin is nastier than Stalin, or Trump is nastier than Andrew Jackson. Macron isn't worse than Napoleon. Merkel isn't worse than Hitler. History has some really shitty, nasty leaders in it, and I can't look at today and say this is worse than notable really bad times.
