According to a new poll, Mr. Trump has now been labelled as the worst president that the United States has ever seen.
The third instalment of the Presidential Greatness Project, by University of Houston political science professor Brandon Rottinghaus and Coastal Carolina University political science professor Justin Vaughn, asked academics to rank each of the 45 people who have served as president all the way from George Washington to Joe Biden.
The survey is based on 154 responses from scholars across multiple disciplines, all of whom, in some way or another, engage in presidential politics through their work.

… Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
… It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Quantum Theory disproves Gödel's ontological proof.
Divine action through quantum biology leads to unsavory implications for theodicy. If God’s action in the quantum domain is not episodic, and instead God acts through quantum processes to actualize biological events like DNA mutations, then responsibility for diseases which come from such mutations must also lie with God. Cancer, for example, is caused by mutations in the genes that control cell growth. If responsibility for the quantum processes that cause genetic mutations lies with God, then by Robert Russell’s own account of bottom-up causality God is also responsible for the diseases themselves and the physical and psychological suffering they cause. To be consistent, the claim that moral responsibility is carried up the causal chain must apply to both praise and blame. If God is considered ultimately responsible for the higher-level goods which emerge moving up the causal chain, such as speciation, then mutatis mutandis he is also responsible for cancers and other similarly caused diseases. Cancer is one of the primary causes of death in humans and brings with it great pain and suffering; the claim that God is responsible jars with the idea that God is omnibenevolent and is a significant problem for Russell’s thesis.

For six years Siddhartha along with five companions practiced austerities and concentration. He drove himself mercilessly, eating only a single grain of rice a day, pitting mind against body.
I'm guessing Trump and Gp have 6 Big Mac's a day.

Yes, Trump hosted Holocaust denier at Mar-a-Lago estate during visit with Kanye West, a week after announcing 2024 run.

Of course, one must also account for all the supporters who believe that October 7 was a false flag operation masterminded by the Mossad…

“We are supporting President Biden’s whole-of-government response to this tragic incident and the federal government is committed to providing all necessary resources to rebuild the bridge,” said Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt. “The Emergency Relief funding announced today provides an initial down payment of funds to help Maryland manage ongoing disruptions to traffic, supply chains, and daily life, and is the first step in our joint efforts to reconstruct the Francis Scott Key Bridge.”
I think Trump is trying to get Gp and ADOL as fake electors.

Yes, Liz Cheney declared that the GOP is finished. “The Republican Party,” she said on ABC’s The View, is
clearly so caught up in this cult of personality that it’s very hard to imagine that the party can survive. I think increasingly it’s clear that once we get through 2024 we’re gonna have to have something else. Something new. I believe the country has to have a party that’s based on conservative principles and values where we can engage with the Democrats on substance and on policy.

Because of the complexity of the world the minimum IQ for a USA President should be 150. John F Kennedy had an IQ of 159.
Trump's IQ is listed at 101 but I don't think it is that high. Thomas Jefferson had an IQ of 160.

Okay, so playing God isn’t that easy. It was only in 2000 that we barely managed to sequence an entire human genome, and now we want to write our own? Sounds like some cheesy science fiction — except it’s not.
In 2008, the first ever synthetic DNA, a man-made version of Mycoplasma genitalium, was built. You can think of M. genitalium as the cheese pizza of unicellular organisms. He’s a little plain, but that’s what makes him the perfect template to build cooler things off from.

Well, DNA specifically seems to have evolved. If you look at a modern cell, the only thing that DNA actually does is long-term storage of genetic material. The actual "heavy lifting" is done by transcribing DNA into RNA, which then does actual stuff.
But, I guess, what you are actually asking is, where did these kinds of molecules originally came from? The short answer is, they form naturally under conditions that were somewhat common on early earth.
On modern earth, this no longer happens, because life completely changed the composition of earth's atmosphere. Mainly, it exhausted nearly all CO2 and methane and replaced them with O2, which is extremely hostile to organic compounds.
In an atmosphere rich in CO2, methane, nitrogen and ammonium (as it was on early earth), organic compounds form rather easily on their own. This can happen in wide variety of ways, so you're unlikely to find a definitive answer, for which process specifically created what on early earth.
If you look at the basic compounds that make life (sugars, nucleotides, lipids, aminoacids), they all share one key property - they are somewhat soluble in water. This means, that they can accumulate in solution as they get formed. The other junk that is insoluble either sinks or floats to the top.
Lipids also have a curious property - once they reach high-enough concentration, they start forming micelles, membranes and vesicles.
Sugars, nucleotides and amino acids have another property - they can form polymers (polysacharides, nucleic acids and preptides, respectively), that can't penetrate lipid membranes as easily as their respective monomers. They can get trapped in vesicles and therefore can accumulate over time.

@Greyparrot
Dwight D. Eisenhower is often quoted from his February 17, 1953 News Conference in which he said,
The fact is there must be balanced budgets before we are again on a safe and sound system in our economy. That means, to my mind, that we cannot afford to reduce taxes, reduce income, until we have in sight a program of expenditures that shows that the factors of income and of outgo will be balanced. Now that is just to my mind sheer necessity.

The doom of liars is spoken of in Revelation 21:8. The liar will forever be separated from a loving and holy God. The liar will have all eternity to regret the deception they refused to renounce as they hear their lies echo in their memory. God hates the act of lying because it goes contrary to his truth.
I guess we won't be seeing Trump in Heaven.

Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his four years as president, according to a count by WPO. Perhaps the most egregious is “the big lie” that he, not Joe Biden, won the 2020 presidential election, only for it to be stolen due to widespread fraud. De Berg writes in his book: “The idea behind the concept of the big lie is that if an untruth is sufficiently extreme, people are likely to accept it if only because they cannot bring themselves to believe that anyone could lie in such an outrageous manner. “It was Hitler who came up with the concept, writing in Mein Kampf that ‘the great masses of the people … more easily fall victim to a big lie [große Lüge] than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others.’”

Stephen Hawking: “Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation,” he said. “What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn’t. I’m an atheist.”

Actually, atheists know that the God in what's called the bible does not exist.
Albert Einstein who is a lot smarter than Pastor Jim Bakker said, "The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of venerable but still rather primitive legends.
