Yes, that's a good case for Biden. The people who know Trump the best - don't think too highly of him. Looking back at past Presidents, I can't think of too many of their minions/colleagues who do such denigration of their leader.
Chief of Staff John Kelly described Trump as an "idiot" - ‘the most flawed person’ he’s ever met.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Trump is an “idiot.”
Chief of Staff Reince Priebus also described Trump as an “idiot.” “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.”
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson referred to Trump as a "F'ing moron."
Steve Bannon said that Trump was “like an 11-year-old child,”
National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster referred to Trump as a "dope" with the intelligence of a "kindergartner." “
National Security Advisor, John Bolton, “If Trump is elected there will be celebrations in the Kremlin”
Economic Adviser Gary Cohn referred to Trump as "dumb as sh.t."
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said President Donald Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader.” “He is more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine.”
Mike Pence, Vice-President: “Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States. … President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution.”
Attorney General, Bill Barr, “"he constantly engages in reckless conduct. … ”
Vice President Dick Cheney: “There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. “he constantly engages in reckless conduct. … He will always put his own interests, and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest.”
Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk called Trump a "malignant clown — unprepared and unfit to be President of the United States."’
Chief of Staff John Kelly described Trump as an "idiot" - ‘the most flawed person’ he’s ever met.

Tucker Carlson; of Trump’s presidency, “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There really isn’t an upside to Trump.”
At the same time, the argument for Trump is fie upon both parties who are nothing but thieves who are there to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. I keep remembering Harry Truman's injunction that any politician who gets rich at the expense of the public is a crook - well, it would then follow that we have a lot of crooks running our country. Trump may not provide an immediate solution, but he's a disruptor who might pave the road to something better.

You can frame it that way. Or you could frame it like the woke backlash is the fault of those who catastrophize Trump, and so render everything opposite of him more virtuous. Words are tricky. Mostly I'm glad that now we can not only define wokeness, but we can also measure it.

@Horace Absolve Trump from blame if you want, but the causal connection is the point. A Trump presidency brings more wokeness, not less.

Honestly, keep Biden. He's a known quantity, as is Kamala, and it would make 2028 a heck of a lot easier for DeSantis to win. And with the economy still in question, I don't think that's something Kamala will be able to run on.
