Best US president? Worst US president?

Best US president? Worst US president?

(genuinely curious--we don't know much about them here)

Best - Washington

Worst - Trump

Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one...

Washington and Lincoln are tied for 1st place.

the worst is probably Buchanan, who helped cause the US Civil War.

Harding is probably the most crooked (no Nixon wasn't so bad)

Sup Forums sez Andrew Jackson was the GOAT but IDK.

>Trump

Trump has never been president dumbfuck.

He doesn't become president until january

Protip: anybody picking a president from the last ~50 years for either best or worst is making a biased political evaluation and not a historical one.

>nigger thinks someone in the world learns america's history aside from americans and their bitches.

Best: William Henry Harrison. He delivered a two hour inaugural speech in the cold, caught pneumonia and died one month later.

But... you're ALL our bitches.

Best - FDR

Worst - Dubya

best: washington i guess
worst: heard that the fucker after lincoln was bad.

true. still, i understand why people would pick someone as the "worst". but why should anyone pick a post ww2 president as the best?

best- Teddy Roosvelt
Worst Hoover/dubya bush

Worst: James I am just going to sit here until this whole thing blows over Buchanan

Best: Teddy big stick better hide your chick Roosevelt

Best presidents:

Washington, Jefferson, Polk, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Reagan

Worst presidents:

Pierce, Buchanan, Harding, Hoover, LBJ, Nigger

>why should anyone pick a post ww2 president as the best?
The Republicans would carve Reagan into Mount Rushmore given half a chance.

Best was Abraham Lincoln
Worst was Andrew Jackson

>elected Kremlin agent
>you're all our bitches
Keep cherishing it, Diego.

Why do people hate on Reagan?

He trolled libtards so hard that 30 years later they still mad.

...

destroyed US industry He didnt protect the US worker aganist unfair chinese and japanese slaves like trump will

It's a prediction. He's a mong.

also financed/created al qaeda during the Russian invasion of afghanistan just like obama with ISIS

Still does't have shit on Teddy.

Literally gets shot in the chest, continues to give speech until he collapses from blood loss.

>a fucking actor
never undestood why he was great. but the only thing i know about him is the war on drugs which was a devastating take on foreign policy, so i could miss something.

But seeing the praise obama gets, i doubt it.

Then why do Sup Forumstards love him so much? He doesn't seem to follow their ideals

Case in point.

He conquered gommunism. Thereby liberating millions from it including half your countrymen. :^)

Also Nixon started the WoD. Do your fact checking first.

nostalgia/memes/ he made good jokes about russia on tv

His trickle down meme only worked short term and ruined the American economy long term. Public debt and wealth inequality inequality skyrocketed thanks to him and the American economy has since been a hollow shell crudely held up by a succession of investment bubbles. He's the reason you think of endebted masses and a stupidly rich, influential upper class when you hear USA.

>trickle down
>union busting
>massive deficits
>wall street deregulation
>iran contra
>retreating from Lebanon
>war on drugs

best - franklin roosevelt
worst - james buchanan

:^)

>al-qaeda/taliban is le mujahideen meme

Kys

>andrew jackson
a shit
not the worst but definitely up there
it's a disgrace that he's on our money

Reagan saved the world from communism the same way the Americans saved Europe from Nazi Germany.

And by that mean they coincidentally happened to be on the winning side while the Russians did the work.

Sup Forums isn't one person. Plenty of them are boomers, or had boomer parents that directly benefited from reaganomics.

Or they love Reagan because liberals hate him.

Infact the middle class significantly expanded under Reagan and poverty rates decreased. This contrasts with the Carter years when workforce participation was at its lowest level since the 1930s.

>heard that the fucker after lincoln was bad
the fucker before lincoln was worse. our civil war wasn't inevitable

Apparently we have to tell you about your country because whenever you yourselves talk about your country all that comes out is brainwash propaganda.

they have like nothing in common :^)

Jackson was a populist demagogue who decided to destroy centralized banking even though he knew jack about banks or economics, but he was butthurt at the several times he'd gone bankrupt as a young man. The resultant lack of financial solvency caused depressions every 20 years until the early 20th century when centralized banking returned.

800,000

Well, there was this Ben Laden guy...

buchanan literally sharted on the idea of the union

Best: Nixon

Worst: Wilson

Best: Polk
Worst: Wilson

>Best
Theodore Roosevelt
no one can even come close

>worse
I don't know

>Best: Nixon
>only president to ever resign
>only president who would've ever been impeached if he hadn't resigned precautiously
He's literally human garbage.

Best: Lord Palmerston

Worst: Lord North

redpill me on why you didn't pick obama

king nigger literally doesnt even talk to republicans

literally have a poster of george washington hanging in my old bedroom at my parents' house. seriously such a great man and competent leader who wanted the best for america. i hope to be half as great a leader as him someday should i fall into a position of leadership. of course he also owned a ton of slaves but no one's perfect :v)

worst is james buchanan, who happens to be the only president from my home town

Obama is a super average president

>casual racism

Grow up

The depressions came like clockwork: 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893, 1907

The Federal Reserve was a step in the right direction but not until the Great Depression was the final piece put in place which was removing the gold standard that caused repeated deflation and market crashes.

The mujahideen were a coalition of different tribal militias ehich fought against the Soviet Union, most were Islamic (as literally everyone in Afghanistan was) but none advocated for a global jihad against all non-believers.

Neither the Taliban nor AQ ever received US funding, which they didn't need because Bin Laden was a billionaire.

Go watch more RT

>Triggered by casual racism

Grow up

average presidents did not do what obama does and continues to do today by encouraging protests against trump while speaking in germany

fuck off nigger

>Sup Forums isn't one person
are you sure?

Nor do they end their administration with their own party at its weakest in almost a century.

>opened trade with china
>oversaw the moon landings
>founded our environmental protection agency
>a shit
???

Theres always at least 2 people on Sup Forums.

The other guy just posts alot more than you.

There we go. As much as dumb idiot Ron Paul fags are like mmmuh gawld standurd, there's a reason no currency still uses that.

It caused chronic deflation and crashes because there just couldn't be enough money in circulation. To cite an example, the Black Monday crash in 1987 would have led to another Great Depression had we still been on the gold standard. However, the Federal Reserve simply increased the money supply and everything was business as usual.

>oversaw the moon landings
...that were made possible by his two predecessors.

Theodore Roosevelt was best

For one thing, there's only so much gold out there to back money up and also in the 19th century, they didn't use gold for industrial purposes like electronics manufacturing.

Best: FDR
Worst: Bush Jr.

Reagan was more prescient than people give him credit for. He told Gorbachev what the next big geopolitical challenge would be--"The rise of radical fundamentalist Islam poses a grave threat to us all. I am a Christian and you, Secretary Gorbachev, are an atheist, yet we are both at risk."

Buchanan wasn't an incapable guy, he just happened to be the wrong president for that time. In a quieter era, he would have been quite decent. But then again, the alternative to him would have been electing the totally feeble John Fremont.

>opened trade with china
Huge fucking mistake.
>oversaw the moon landings
Something that the NASA has worked towards since 1958 and was proposed by JFK in 1961 somehow is the achievement of a president that's been in office for six months by the time it happened in 1969? This is almost as much bullshit as giving Obama the nobel peace prize at the beginning of his presidency.
>founded our environmental protection agency
Have they achieved something yet? Because the last time I checked half the US population still wasn't subject to emissions tests and could rip out their catalytic converters without facing consequences, the industry could still release enormous amounts of pollutants into the air and ground, tons of rivers still had pollution levels that made them unsafe for swimming and most garbage was still piled up and covered with dirt instead of being recycled.

funny because Sup Forums is one of the most physically fit boards

Best: FDR, LBJ, Lincoln
Worst: Reagan, Bush I, Bush II

All things said, it's good that Buchanan got elected in 1856 instead of Fremont because the latter's election would have possibly triggered the South to secede four years earlier, when the North might have been more willing to let them go. Also Fremont was a very weak individual, no Lincoln by any stretch.

So as bad as Buchanan might have been, the alternative was much worse.

>Was redpilled on the jews
>Hated commiefornia

10/10 president desu

>LBJ

what in the fuck

The neocon wing of the GOP has never liked Reagan anyway; they like to give GHW Bush credit for all of his achievements.

John Fremont's later record as a Civil War general was also quite pathetic.

>LBJ
The guy already looks like a rat, and that's exactly what he lived up to. Might've even been a confidant of the JFK assassination.

He was the ultimate scheming, backstabbing machine politician, but when it came to war and foreign policy, his strengths didn't work.

"Supreme commander of the Union armies General Henry Halleck said that 'Putting men like Franz Sigel, John Fremont, and Ben Butler in high commands is almost worse than murder, yet there seems to be no way around it.'"

Andrew Johnson was also terrible and totally unfit to be president, Lincoln made him his running mate in 1864 purely as a political favor.

Nixon didn't open trade with China, that was mostly Bill Clinton.

Great society. Political genius, pic related.

>Also Nixon started the WoD
That he did.

Libtards would carve Obama's face into Mt. Rushmore if they could.

Best-Abe, though his presidency opened the door to increased federal control

Worst-Buchanon because he caused the Civil War

>Best-Abe, though his presidency opened the door to increased federal control
Inevitable as technology advanced and the different regions of the country became less isolated from one another.

The 1837 panic was directly his fault but he was out of office by then so his hapless successor got the blame for it.

Ah, poor Grover Cleveland. Bretty good first term, his second term was an unmitigated disaster.

Best: Kennedy
Worst: all the other post WW2 presidents

Best- I guess Washington
Worst- The gay one. Not not Lincoln. The one that couldn't stop the civil war from erupting.

>fake quotes

Roosevelt's trust busting reputation has been exaggerated by popular myth. In truth, he didn't have any particular problem with business monopolies and the Big Stick was more designed to prove that the government made the laws, not corporations.

This desu.

THIS

George Washington, Teddy, Lincoln, Polk, Truman, JFK were the best ones.
FDR, Nixon, LJ, Bill Clinton, Obama were the worst ones.

Anyone who says FDR is plainly ignoring the fact that he introduced socialist economic policies to the country when the economy was already naturally recovering. He was a populist and many of his decisions fucked up the allied war effort during WW2. He gets credited when anyone with half a brain could have done a better job than him at presidency.

Best - Teddy: Stood up for actual Capitalism when people were pissing all over it. Also a general badass.
Worst - Harding: A crooked literally who president.

Wow first post to bash Trump.
Fucking new record that one.

you disgust me
