Adam Schiff lists reasons he believes Trump is the ‘worst president in modern history’

Schiff Wednesday criticized the president and the actions he’s taken since the 2016 election one year ago, including his travel ban, his threat to revoke the broadcast licenses of stations that air content he disapproves of, and his comments after white nationalist groups clashed with counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va., in August.

“One year ago, @realDonaldTrump was elected President. Since then, he has repeatedly shown why he is the worst president in modern history. Here’s how,” Schiff said.

“Almost immediately after the election, the President-elect falsely claimed to have won the popular vote and said that millions of illegal immigrants voted,” he said. “In his first week of office, @POTUS signed the #MuslimBan, banning people from entering our country based on their faith

“Then @POTUS Trump demonized a free & fair press, laying groundwork to discredit any negative stories. He even threatened network licenses.

“Trump unilaterally rescinded #DACA without any replacement. Hundreds of thousands of DREAMers stand to lose everything. He doesn’t care. After the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, @POTUS found fault on ‘many sides.’ There were not ‘many sides,’ just right and wrong.”

Schiff goes on to cite Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, his firing of former FBI Director James Comey in May, and his threats against North Korea on Twitter, among others, as reasons he believes Trump is a bad president.

“.@POTUS withdrew from the Paris Accords, forever damaging our planet and our standing in the world. Climate change is real, and we must act. Trump said he would discontinue payments to health insurance companies, raising rates for consumers, actively undermining the Affordable Care Act.”

“Trump refuses to acknowledge Russia’s attack on our democracy, and fired FBI Director James Comey because of ‘this Russia thing.’ Trump has repeatedly tried to intervene in our justice system, and denigrated judges who rule against him as illegitimate or ‘so-called’ judges.”

“Without checking with the Pentagon, @POTUS banned trans soldiers from serving our country. It was ugly, wrong, and unconstitutional. I haven’t even gotten to the President’s foreign policy. Cozying up to dictators, threatening war via tweet, hollowing out our State Department…”

Schiff closes out his list of grievances about Trump with suggesting the president could become the worst in U.S. history, as opposed to “modern” history.

“There is absolutely no doubt: President Trump is the worst president in modern history. And each day, he works on eliminating ‘modern’ from that description,” he said.
