On a day created to honor George Washington, we're now supposed to celebrate every scoundrel, criminal, and creep to occupy the Oval Office. My new book assesses the worst presidents, and the best.
I guess if you believe in government then you have to rank the presidents. Really, what could any president do for you that would make your life better that you cannot do for yourself?

He thought Lincoln was too authoritarian. But he thinks Trump may be worse. I’ve ordered your book
What a marvelously delightful read!
