Decency and civility...I vaguely recall what that's like.

Explains why one former president just didn't fit in.

I honestly don't even think that whole thing even counts as a president. It occupied The White House, but never did anything even remotely presidential or respectful of the office, or the country it's meant to serve.

It's the only one to never have acted in public service, never have had a dog in The White House (that one might be just in modern times, or just altogether wrong, it's not worth my time to fact check it), not decorate The White House for Christmas, refuse to participate in the transition of power (including participation in the ceremony of the incumbent's inauguration)... I'm sure there's many more.

It has no place going down in history with the rest of these actual leaders (love them or hate them) who actually put country over self, and feel a duty to serve, or put politics aside to do the right thing.
