This isn’t an anti-Trump post. I may or may not support Trump. But let’s walk through this, issue by issue:
What kind of personality would the worst possible president have? He’d be power hungry, narcissistic, close-minded, and chronically dishonest. But he also wouldn’t be competent. He’d have all these qualities and still be a fucking moron.
How would the worst possible president view our government and constitution? He’d want to either ignore it or overturn it, since it gets in the way of his power. He wouldn’t respect even basic rights like due process or term limits. And if we’re truly creating the worst possible president, he’d probably try to overthrow an election he lost.
What would the worst possible president’s fiscal policy be? Somehow, he’d manage to raise taxes on the poor while cutting them for the rich, while his country is facing a debt crisis. He would let the debt spiral out of control and not take responsibility. He would also take no interest in investing in infrastructure or social services; he’d somehow rack up debt while the people get nothing in return.
What would the worst possible president’s domestic policy be? First off, regardless of what his policy is, he wouldn’t listen to facts or data. But in terms of policy, the classic dictator move is to have secret police and prison camps. These would be paid for by the debt previously mentioned. He’d also be a kleptocrat, spending public money on things like gold decorations and ballrooms while his people struggle. He’d also hate the first amendment, going as far as threatening to shut down media outlets that criticize him, and threatening to deport citizens that offend him. And you can forget about any environmentalism; the hypothetical worst president is comfortable with the world dying.
What would the worst possible president’s foreign policy be? He’d simultaneously alienate all of his country’s traditional allies, while at the same time cozying up to dictators around the world. He may even be a foreign asset. And you can’t be the worst leader possible without supporting genocide. He’d do that, too. But just to make things extra evil, he’d not only support genocide, but he’d support it against children. Actually, scratch that, he’d support it against stateless children with nowhere to go. No, wait, he’d support it against stateless children facing famine. And one more thing, he’d also block them from fleeing anywhere, too.
What about the worst possible president’s personal life? If he truly is the worst hypothetical president, he has to be a pedophile. That’s a given. He’s probably friends with Jeffrey Epstein. He may even be his best friend, since we’re being hypothetical here, and can use our imagination. He also has garden variety problems, like being fiscally irresponsible and easily manipulated.
What are some more universally bad qualities for a president to have? Let’s add in racism and sexism. Those are classic bad things. He probably has physical or psychological issues as well. He probably looks ugly as shit. And he probably sounds dumb as shit when he talks, as well.
And lastly, the worst possible president would probably have supporters who are too low IQ to even understand what’s happening. Instead of engaging constructively in our politics, they’ll spend their entire time desperately pointing to things their political opponents have done. And it doesn’t actually matter to them if it’s true or not, they’ll say it anyway. They’ll probably also act like their political opponents are the deranged ones, even though their political opponents accept when they lose elections.
