We’ve all seen the memes about Jimmy Carter looking for other presidents in heaven. If you wanted to generalize that any sitting president is automatically the current worst person in the world you wouldn’t be wrong half the time, but there’s a little more nuance to the awfulness.

Although the “steer into the iceberg” theory always has its adherents, I’m not confident that leads to acceptable outcomes.
