history will remember him badly, but nowhere near as badly as Trump, the only sitting US president to organise a coup in his own country. Who stood by while over a quarter of a million Americans died, pretending CV19 did not exist, pretending (once he had had to admit it existed) that it was going away when it was only getting stronger, who used armed troops against peaceful protesters and who refused to accept the result of a democratic election. That's a lot for future history professors to discuss.
Wait till the current global neoliberal consensus dies and see if historians don't chuck them both in the same dust bin.
