Ronald Reagan did more damage to this country than any president before or after him.

While W. sucked in many ways, there is no way he is the worst. Off the top of my head I can easily think of four better contenders: Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan (both guilty of pro-slavery fuckery before the Civil War), Andrew Johnson (fought to let the Confederates off the hook after the war and opposed the 14th amendment), and Donald Trump (first president to be impeached twice, first to be convicted of a felony, and may be remembered by future historians as the spark that ignites the next Civil War).

It's tempting to pick someone recent, but the real answer is probably Andrew Jackson. He successfully engineered a genocide, trampled the Constitution and human rights, and was actively hostile to limits on Presidential power.

I'd probably say someone like Andrew Jackson before even thinking about Trump being the worst. Jackson did a literal genocide with the Indian Removal Act

putting trump in the top 5 is lib shit

lol trump is bad but not like Andrew Jackaon bad.

Probably

1. Andrew Jackson - Crimes against native people
2. Andrew Johnson - Fucked up reconstruction
3. Ronald Reagan - Trickle down economics
4. 45/47 🤮 - We all know why...
5. Richard Nixon - The Infamous Crook

Might have some memory gaps, but these are what I can remember from the top of my head.

Woodrow Wilson was so racist that he was quoted in an epigraph for "The Birth of a Nation." You know, the 1915 movie about how awesome the KKK was, which became the first true "blockbuster" film and which led to a huge resurgence in KKK activity. Not only that, but Woodrow Wilson also personally invited the filmmakers to screen the movie in the White House - the first movie ever screened in the White House, by the way. Honorable mention!

George Washington. This thing should have been nipped in the bud.

George W Bush Jr.

Yes I am handing him the worst president title, even over Trump.

Because, it was his mishandled War on Terror, that plunged the country into massive national debt. He crashed the housing market. He literally had waged a war on obese people, minorities and other things as distractions from his failure to capture Osama. He allowed American Surveillance with Patriot Act I and II. His cabinet were all crooks and he was just a dumb puppet.

He is essentially the ripple effect of everything we're dealing with today and Trump is merely the symptom of that.

andrew jackson (or johnson can never remember which) for the trail of tears. absolutely awful

This question is too difficult, there are too many candidates...

How is it even close between Dubya and Trump like honestly Bush started the war on terror, killing and displacing millions.

I would hire nucular George every day for the next 4 years to get rid of the orange dipshit.

I think I have Trump derangement syndrome but for Bush Jr. instead cause very few people make my blood boil just by seeing their face like that scum.

Reagan

The idiot son of an asshole

me if enough of you write in "EstraDoll" in 2028

Does worst mean:

• least able to achieve their stated agenda, ie worst at their job. (Trump)
• worst vision for America, ie most evil (Reagan)
• worst overall impact to America, ie one you'd kill with a time machine (Bush Jr, but Trump might catch up in term 2)
• Worst for the world, ie the one I'd kill with a time machine (Washington)

Although I'm not American and don't know your history that well.
