Yes, Eisenhower was a scumbag. But compared to

The big difference between Eisenhower's two terms and Trump's two terms boils down to the alignment of the US national media at the time. Eisenhower had them under lock-and-key day one. Trump's had an off-and-on relationship going back to his Central Park Five ad.

The dirty truth of Presidential politics is that lots of these guys are corrupt, lots of them are incompetent, and lots of them are complete assholes. But public opinion hinges on whether the national media wants to scream at them. Trump getting into a four month long disastrous war with Iran is - frankly - a huge improvement over the Bush Jr (decades in Iraq/Afghanistan) or Reagan (instigated the Iran-Iraq War which killed millions) or Eisenhower (toppled multiple liberal Middle Eastern governments from the inside). Assuming this peace deal sticks, he's going to go down as one of the least reprehensible US Presidents to meddle in Middle Eastern politics, by volume of atrocities committed.

Drump is actually the best representative this country has ever had.

He's definitely a symptom of the US decline. But given our nightmare run at foreign policy across the region, that's somehow managed to be an improvement.
