When you think about it, most decades have a definitive president:

-Eisenhower: President of the 50s
-LBJ: President of the 60s
-Nixon: President of the 70s
-Reagan: President of the 80s
-Clinton: President of the 90s
-Bush: President of the 2000s

But when you get to 2010s, it's evenly split between Obama and Trump.

Who would you say is president of the 2010s? Who defined the decade?

Easily Obama. President for over half of it, and was actually a decent president and person in general, unlike that orange shitstain Trump.

this

and he spent the last of those three years killing half a million Americans through incompetence

edit: actually no, he spent the first year of the 20s doing that. He spent the last year of the 10s golfing and campaigning

I think most people are missing the point of this topic.

"Definitive" does not mean "best" or "longest-serving"

All policy arguments aside, "first black president" itself is incredibly definitive

Even if we're not including "best" or "longest-serving" in the criteria, it's still Obama considering Trump's entire political career and Presidency revolved around him and his former VP.

If we're talking about who most defines American politics today, it's definitely Trump. That's why I asked what the definition of the 2010s is, because that is important to answering this question

Even though Trump only served one term, it was possibly the most controversial term in American history.

But Trump's own politics were defined by Obama's term. Trump basically devoted his presidency to attacking Obama's legacy

He went way beyond that.

You don't get viewed as arguably the worst president of all time by just attacking the previous president.

Actually, I take this stupid post back.

He'll be noted as a useless, one-term, twice impeached, traitorous insurrectionist who let 500,000 Americans die of a preventable disease.

With tiny hands.

My view:

60s could be JFK or LBJ... too close to call IMO

70s is defined by its stagflation economy. Nixon is close to being the defining president but that goes beyond him.

2010s obviously could be either Obama or Trump. It's definitely one of them unlike the 60s, but it really depends on what the "definition" of the 2010s is. We probably won't know that until like the 2030s or 2040s when we can look back at the 2010s in hindsight.

She's not the one who tried cheating in an election, lost said election, then tried inciting a coup of dipshit cultists to overthrow the government based off of her lies about losing the election.

If you can explain clearly and concisely what Hillary has to do with this conversation, I'll address the idea of her being a traitor or not

As it is, it seems you're just scapegoating to try and keep from having to criticize your cult leader.

You probably cheered on Trump's made up voter fraud narrative
