A Hillary Clinton presidency would have been even more disruptive that the current Donald Trump administration, historian and prolific author Niall Ferguson told CNBC on Thursday.
"There would have been an almost immediate impeachment process," Ferguson said in an interview with CNBC's Steve Sedgwick at the Ambrosetti Forum in Italy on Thursday.
"More importantly, Trump supporters would have bought the story that the election had been rigged and you would have had Trump supporters with their pitchforks, or more likely semi-automatics, in a very ugly mood," he added.
An anonymous op-ed published by The New York Times on Wednesday painted a chaotic picture of the way President Trump runs The White House. It detailed an ongoing effort within the U.S. government to essentially derail Trump's agenda.
That followed a preview Tuesday of an upcoming book written by veteran journalist Bob Woodward that quotes unhappy administration insiders and says the Trump team is enduring a "nervous breakdown of executive power."
"I actually think the United States would be in an even bigger mess if she (Clinton) had won," said Ferguson before adding that the U.S. is undergoing catharsis by getting the "massive piece of disruption" that it voted for in Trump.
The senior fellow at Stanford University also said that Trump's base support remains on-board with the president, but may at some stage wonder if they have taken a gamble too far.
Ferguson added that Trump was not a king or an emperor and that there were 63 different agencies working to administer the United States....

Actually, if the left would STHU, American wouldn’t be in a mess at all. They’d be waking up in celebration mode every day.
This is not even a good backhanded compliment.
Niall is obviously illiterate. He hasn’t been able to read and/or comprehend the 8 years we were under the Obama Administration, or he would have realized that our side of the country obeys the laws. Even if it irks us, we obey the laws. That’s really got to scare them deep; if our side were ever really ready to let loose, it’d be with lawful backing. I don’t see that happening for quite a while...
Niall must be a drug user.

Hillary is incompetent, and corrupt to the core. And finally someone on CNBC admits it!
> Trump supporters with their pitchforks, or more likely semi-automatics, in a very ugly mood <
Oh, wait. So a Hillary presidency would have been disruptive only because of those ignorant, violent Deplorables. Cancel my first remark.
Gee, I shouldn’t have gotten excited about what I thought would be an “objective” headline
“bought the story that the election had been rigged and you would have had Trump supporters with their pitchforks, or more likely semi-automatics, in a very ugly mood,” he added.”
As opposed to the “gentle, mature” reactions of the Deep Staters and their brainwashed mASSES, to a LEGITIMATE TRUMP VICTORY?
Good grief, these people are biased beyond belief. A hilLIAR Presidency would have been an ABSOLUTE DISASTER
on ALL FRONTS, you idiot, and not because of we Deplorables and our Guns and Bibles
Where do they find these fools? Seriously
Memo To Niall Ferguson:

Not the Niall “Turd” Ferguson ?
The election was rigged by Hillary, as Project Veritas documented. She cheated. She was just such a terrible candidate that President Trump's win was outside the margin of fraud. This time, for once, the thug class couldn't cheat by enough to claim a win.
Yup
People on the left panic at all this Winning

IOW, he's not a historian, he's just another radical jackoff, shilling for the DNC. The only disruption is by radical jackoffs just like Ferguson. As a public figure, he should be more circumspect about what he says in public. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Exactly.. The only mess we have are the treasonous Democrats.
Bigger mess? What mess?
He's probably never met a Trump Supporters - reminds me of the racists of old who prejudged blacks based on their fear. In short, the guy's a liberal bigot.
The only “mess” is the leftists’ ranting and raving and violence. Apart from that or maybe even in spite of that, things are improving.
