From his abysmal domestic and foreign policy to his administration&#8217;s boundless corruption, Trump&#8217;s incompetence has really outshined that of every U.S. commander in chief dating back to Watergate. Outside of managing to install Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court as Justice Anthony Kennedy&#8217;s replacement (a big win, to be sure), Trump has pretty much laid a goose egg in terms of accomplishments. Yet on the negative end of the ledger, he has truly stacked up loss after political loss. So here&#8217;s a look back at Trump&#8217;s worst moments in 2018\u2014may they bring you a little joy and good cheer at the end of a hard-fought year.
