Why use The White House executive chef, when the athletes can have cold mass-produced food? It's not weird. (dailysnark.com)

the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole 'presidency'-- decent food vs mountains of garbage that might have been edible when it was prepared 4-8 hours ago, but whose flavor now can't even be covered up by the 2400mg of salt in each bite. and of course he's standing back there with his stupid shit-eating grin as if he's done a huge favor for someone, which no one who ever lived could have done better

Everyone with a brain knew his presidency would be shit. He is the worst president that has ever existed in my entire life, by several orders of magnitude. He's officially the 4th worst president in the history of the United States.

i just meant "expectation" referring to the standards of the office of the president, not what anyone actually expected from trump

Who are the other 3?

From Wikipedia:

Most surveys of the 21st century considered James Buchanan (left), Lincoln's predecessor, as the worst president for his leadership during the build-up to the Civil War. Several ranked Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson last for blocking civil rights for freed slaves and undermining Reconstruction. Donald Trump, first ranked in 2018, has consistently polled among the bottom four and twice in last place, due to breaking longstanding norms such as the peaceful transition of power, a US precedent not broken since Washington first set it in 1797.

I'm actually not sure who the 4th one is and don't want to spend any more time looking.
