Worst US Presidents

Shows how short-sighted and historically ignorant you are that Grant isn’t even on the list. He’s clearly the most anti-Semitic president in US history. He expelled the Jews from Tennessee. What did Obama do for comparison? Spoke nicely about Palestinians? What did Carter do already as a president? Brokered peace with Egypt?

It isn’t so clear about Grant, and in particular how much he had to do with the anti-Jewish order issued by his office, and promptly cancelled. Looking at his whole career, he appears to have good relations with Jews.

What about W and his Iraq War?

Clinton should be somewhere on top of the list.

Harding was actually one of the best presidents. “one man band” is lying. There is no indication that he was an alcoholic, and he is only known to have had two affairs in his life, one of which was before his presidency.

Worst presidents: Woodrow Wilson, James Buchanan, Barack Obama.

Grant and Harding may have been inept and tolerated corruption if not corrupt themselves, but they also made serious efforts to support civil rights laws (remember the Democrats were the party opposed to civil rights until the second half on the 20th century – until then, most Blacks were Republicans). Jackson may have supported a well established policy of forcing Indians to relocate away from population centers, but his policies in what is known as the Jacksonian era led to opening up political participation to a wide range of Americans including Jews. American was arugably moving towards developing an aristorcracy until Jackson shook things up. That the Democrats under Jackson significantly included the working class led in the long run to opening the way for Blacks to eventually join the system (though that was clearly not his intent), and by opening up the political system to the proletariat the US avoided the severe class-based divisions found in Britain. For all your criticism of Pierce and Buchanan, as well as Jackson, that by acting in ways that postponed the Civil War, they significant increased the liklihood of a Union victory – if the civil war has begun 30 years earlier, before railroads, with only muzzle loaders, and with the northern states not have pulled way ahead of the south in terms of industrial capacity, the outcome might have been very different, and the presidents from Jackson through Buchanan all worked to prevent the civil war. It should be noted that support for tariffs has wide support in the past, usually among the “liberals” favoring protecting jobs rather than “conservaties” who see free trade as promoting economic development.

2 best presidents in modern times
Ronald Reagan
Donald Trump.

Laskern – Your statement is delusional! Do you remember the PM of Israel getting up and telling the world that they have proof that Iran is well on the way to acquirinig Nuclear weapons?

Ubiq -“Lol! The deal was abandoned by the current President, any war that may result is because the deal was abandoned”

You so believe the Liberal propaganda – you won’t understand the points!
The main thing is – not to let Iran do whatever it feels like. They are heading to World Conquest.
Of course having Nukes will help them. The US has to Stop them. There once was a Western World, but
their Liberal Mentality has destroyed or about to destroy them!
I’m sure the Great Trump knows this. He’ll first try Stopping iran with Sanctions.
If this doesn’t work, he’ll destroy them, before they get Nukes!

Grant, as far as I know, did nothing anti-semitic while President. His expulsion decree was as a general during the Civil War. And if we are going to count pre-President conduct, Grant has to be among the greatest President. He won the Civil War. Without him the USA as we know it would not exist, slavery might still exist in the Confederacy, and the USA probably doesn’t intervene in either of the World Wars (or the South also intervenes on the German side), and who knows where that leaves world history.

Every single one until 2 other presidents have served.

President A gets elected. “Oh, he’s horrible! Our taxes have gone up! That bill he signed! It’s a shanda! Why did people elect him?!”

President B’s turn: “He’s as bad as the last one! Can you believe what he just vetoed?! And he said he would improve education. Taxes are higher than ever!”

President C’s first term: “I can’t believe he sent troops to war! And that international treaty is a joke. I mean, President A never would’ve voted like that”.

President D: “remember the good old days of President A? Low taxes, less crime? He had great immigrant reform and he really helped the education platform. So much better than the current loser.”

I don’t know who was the worst president, but I do know that Reagan ate over 3 tons of jelly belly beans while in office…..🍬
who can beat him?

President Carter’s handling of the Iran (American Embassy) Hostage crisis was a total disaster, an embarrassment especially for a major military power Like the US. It eventually brought him down, and got Reagan elected.

klugeryid, I don’t know what you talking about. Is it bad because it bankrupts the country or it does not cover the necessities, then why is it popular?

Yserbius, Grant did teshuva. He offered Joseph Seligman the Treasury Department. If Seligman had accepted he would have been the first Jewish cabinet member. Grant also was the first President to attend a synagogue dedication and expressed regret for his expulsion of Jews during the Civil War. However, he did not know how to choose people and was surrounded by corrupt individuals.

Benignuman, on the other hand Wilson appointed the first Supreme Court Justice (Brandeis) over blatant antisemitic objections – he also appointed the first Jewish professors to Princeton. He also explicitly denigrated the Constitution, and especially the system of checks and balances, and fostered the administrative state. BTW, Lincoln also refused to listen to Chief Justice Roger Taney in Ex Parte Merryman and even wrote a letter telling him that it would have been a violation of his (Lincoln’s) oath of office to comply.

Had the St. Louis passengers disembarked they would have been illegal immigrants and FDR had no power to rectify that, thanks to Coolidge.

Wilson did a lot of good and a lot of bad.

He dropped tariff rates to their lowest levels in over six decades. That was good. He vetoed immigration restrictions. That was good. He won WW1. That was food. He lost the peace through his naivety and stubbornness. That was bad. And he was the most racist President prior to Trump. Very bad.

John F Kennedy’s handling of Bay of Pigs was a total disaster and should rank him as one of the worst Presidents.
Also he was assassinated, and without getting too much into the conspiracy theories, it appears that there were a number of parties who wanted him dead. He must have done something really bad to get so many parties to agree to have him killed.

Charlie, wrong. The quotas for Germany and Austria were far from filled. However, the Breckinridge Long ym”s sent instructions to throw up every possible bureaucratic obstacle.

GRATEFULBLAC. JFK admitted that he was at fault. If so many people are the subject of conspiracy theories one could also say that he was doing many things right. However, he was a failure in the sense that he could not get bills through Congress. It took wheeler-dealer LBJ to do that. BTW, LBJ was a cynical, crooked politician. He won a Congressional election with more votes than registered voters. He also said in private about the Civil rights Act of 1964 that “now the n—–s will vote Democratic for 200 years”. On the other hand, he saved many Jews during the Thirties. Some say that his maternal great=grandparents were Jewish, which, of course, would have made him halachically Jewish.

Charlie is a diehard fundamentalist militant Democrat. So forgive him for his intentional gross inaccuracies and misrepresentations.

I notice a lot of people putting down Wilson as on the list but he wasn’t actually that bad he helped he stopped almost a war and then he had to get into it I also saw Coolidge on these us which doesn’t make sense because his laws what normal person would do he was a amazing president and while he doesn’t get as much recognition as FDR for fireside chats he was the original person calling on the radio is immigration was when affecting the Jews in or did not make sense because he was the 30th president and The World War two was Leader and he didn’t know that would happen
