Columbus was a monster on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. There's no comparison.

He so would if he lived during that time, though.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

It's pathetic how people try to paint Columbus as some amazing person who realized the earth was round when all the scientists of the day told him that the earth was much bigger than he thought and that India wasn't as close as he thought.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Trump had to come a long way before becoming anything close to Colombus, which only tells how terrible Colombus was.

The funny thing is one of them has directed a movie starring the other one.

We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful slaughter!

I did the same thing

Columbus was an actual slaver, so this isn't any contest.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Trump because he is still a problem while Columbus is not. Columbus also had a positive and a negative impact instead of just a negative.

[vanguard96]

How about a comparison to someone from a similar time?

Columbus vs King Ferdinand II of Aragon who established the Inquisition & financed Columbus?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Ferdinand actually removed Columbus from his Governor position because he was too brutal and nasty. That's right, too brutal for the Spanish Inquisition.

Exactly. On top of being a genocidal brutal maniac, he was also a dunce who rejected expert opinions. He got lucky that there was a continent between Europe and Asia for him and his crew to land on otherwise they would've been stranded at sea searching for India and left to die.
