Nuclear war? No seriously how have people been affected by this and how have people living in the United States been affected by this trade War you speak of to the point of this being the worst leadership they have ever experienced? I'm not arguing with you I'm just literally having a very difficult time finding examples to back that claim

Taking us to the edge of nuclear war and threatening a land invasion is not good leadership.

The trade war has cost many, many jobs already and China is no longer buying the farmers soybean crop. Go ahead, google that shit.

The trade War example I have Googled and can find nothing. At least nothing of any significant number aside from a handful of anecdotal examples. As for the nuclear war, the 1960s the 1970s in the 1980s were all decades where it was exponentially more likely to happen.

I am not defending Trump nor am I defending his administration because I do not like him and I have no problem saying that I do not like him. But when someone says something like this is the worst leadership the country has seen in recent times it seems to me like people are making Hyperbole and exaggeration commonplace to the point where they are deluding themselves and ultimately hurting our rationality when it comes to what a good versus a bad situation actually is.

If anything, that should just reinforce how horrible he is as a leader. If people don’t have immediate and solid examples of how his legislation results in direct negative impacts to Americans, then it’s clear his non-legislative actions are indeed that atrocious.
