  IMO it's obvious that such numbers can only be judged long after the respective government/presidential term has ended, since the effects of their actions obviously reach much further than their last active day due to the changes caused for laws, government institutions and the overton window. Because of this I would point out the many ways he deliberately deepened the political divide both locally and globally, how his government explicitly re-orients their society and institutions towards war, how he and how him fucking up the world economy AND their own ensures that the oncoming climate catastrophes will turn violent much sooner and likely become much worse due to desperation and isolationism. And I'd point out that his destruction of the US government along with establishing a para-military force basically guarantees that the far more aggressive political side will keep control over the world's biggest military as their country circles the drain. I'm not interested in discussing whether or not only deaths during a given presidents term should be counted, so unless you're willing to discuss under that presumption we won't find common ground.
