"Worst" as in ineffectual, or "worst" as in complete asshole?

If it's ineffectual, Carter is still the champion.
If it's asshole, Andrew Jackson has some competition now.

Absolutely. As bad as some past presidents were, not even the most horrible ones before Trump sought to actively dismantle democracy itself like he has. His mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and every other racist or corrupt thing he's done is just icing on the shit-filled cake.

He's intentionally hurt the entire country and ignored a plague that was hurting everyone, all while using the position of president to line his own pockets.

Even those who were racist could say they at least had the white people of the country in mind when they did things. Trump's only helped the rich, and most of that help was only because if he wanted to pay even less taxes he'd have to lower the rates for everyone above a certain threshold.

He is worse than Buchanan. The civil war was probably going to happen with or without Buchanan's tacit approval. Trump has taken generally unified nation and set it against itself where such conflict didn't exist prior.

No president in any of our lifetimes comes anywhere close to George W Bush. He started two wars that turned into seven and killed countless people as a result. He poured too much money into the military and broke up countless families as a result of his runaway war.

Trump fucked up the COVID and played golf for 25% of his time in office. He wasnt a good president, but its like comparing a rain shower to a category 5 hurricane. Bush and his family are a linchpin in the elitism that has become an obstacle for every working-class family.

I genuinely hope that we never have a president as bad as George W Bush. Easily, easily the worst contemporary president.

Yup the rich got richer and the poor got poorer under his term. Poverty and suicide rates increased dramatically from the Obama administration. Lies through his freaking teeth, yes all politicians lie but he is the biggest liar of them all. His trade deal with China caused many farmers to be bankrupt or they were close to being bankrupt, then brags about giving them $38 billion dollars of tax payer money to keep them afloat. I'm like WTF?

Reagan did all the shit Bush did plus extra.

But really though even if we don't bother counting the fact that we are having another 9/11 every 2 months because of COVID, you are dramatically underestimating the damage Trump has caused to our democracy as well as trust with our international allies.

I'm sorry, but were you not paying to how divided the country was under Obama or W? Because the country has been very polarized for almost this entire century. The only time we were unified was after 9/11 & W very quickly threw all that good will away.

Worst is pretty tough, considering how low the bar is. He has done a great job actively trying to divide the country as much as possible, but there are presidents like Buchanan, who's lack of action on that front is considered one of the major reasons the civil war broke out.

We won't really be able to know until we see some of the long-term effects of Trump's presidency really take hold, like how Reagan's deregulations effectively led to the 2008 recession. And also how the next few years under Biden will go, and if we can end up effectively "returning to normal" or not.

But Worst is a really tough question given the competition.

I remember very clearly when Bush stole Florida there weren't any Riots. I remember very clearly as Obama beat McCain and Romney nobody protested the results and the candidates have heartfelt concession speeches and vowed to get along as best as they could.

Yes I remember it all very well. Trump fucked all of it up.

He also started this whole, he passed me a bad economy thing. He spent SO much money on the military and his war efforts that he legitimately did give Obama a shitty economy. He didnt do anything to fix it and neither did Trump, but the fact that so many people are struggling with the cost of living and stagnant (or decreasing) wages is more on Bush than it is on Obama and Trump combined. Trillions of dollars that should have made jobs and fat paychecks for our generation went straight to the Middle East in a war that most of us opposed from day one.

Reagan had a ton of help starting the 2008 recession, lol. W's admin cranked up the heat a ton by deregulating sub prime mortgages. It's criminal how quickly and directly his admin and policies caused the recession.

It very well could have been. I believe back in 2017, I made a topic titled "Who is the most Trump-like president?" or something like that. Someone answered John Adams, and that answer stuck out to me, because they mentioned that he was adamant about fake news and whatnot.

I have a book called "John Adams" written by David McCullough that I've never got around to reading. Maybe I should soon. It's just, I'm more of a fiction guy. Especially fantasy.

Well it's impossible to get an accurate count of how many people died specifically because of Iran Contra but the scandal itself was essentially about arming the iranian terrorists with rockets and missiles and shit.

So pick the following statistics to suit your fancy.

  1. How many people did Iranian islamic terrorists kill?
  2. How many people did Saddam Hussey kill because we gave his mortal enemies rockets?
  3. How many americans died fighting Iranian based terror groups that used the weapons we sold them.
  4. Don't forget how many people died in central america due to the destabilizing of their governments. (Which is part of the reason we have so many refugees today)

I don't think that was actually me, but maybe?

In 2017, I was still going off on how Trump commandeered Reagan's 1980 slogan.

May have also been some "faux reagan" rants in there. I do distinctly remember stating that Trump was left of Hilary, on several occasions.
