Top Ten Most Hated U.S. Presidents

The Top Ten
1 Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, Donald Trump took charge of his family's real estate and construction firm, Elizabeth Trump... read more

Incompetent, puerile, juvenile. Wants to gut Meals on Wheels an any environmental protections. Furtively signed an executive order making it easier for the mentally ill to obtain guns.Doesn't know health care policy is complicated. Wanted to pass a draconian version reimbursing millions to the wealthiest on the backs of the working class and threatened to end White house cot sharing which reduces co-pays and deductibles for the working and middle class. His vocabulary caps at about one hundred words and he is a thin skinned, vindictive two year old.

I wish someone could shut him up. He makes too many comments that probably start these mass shootings in Texas and else where. And Mr. President, sending 'illegal immigrants back to where they came from isn't going to stop the drugs and other things wrong in this country.

The most destructive force this country has ever faced.

2 Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States... read more

Under his watch the perception of entitlement blossomed, biggest increase in welfare, dissolution of manufacturing jobs, subsidizing solar companies, electric car purchases, etc., and the rotten healthcare system we have. Created a resurgence in racial tensions, loss of religious freedoms and the first real battle-lines were drawn between political parties. Lots of harm, no real accomplishments. His biggest asset; he was personable.

Where is his credit for saving the country from what would've been the greatest economic decline since the great depression? Where is his credit for creating what every democratic president since FDR has tried to do but we're unsuccessful in? affordable healthcare. Good people's accomplishments are seldom acknowledged until they pass away, that's the way the historical clock works. The ignorance of people who refuse to acknowledge that the opposition republicans unrightfully scorned this man for everything he has tried to do, the bigots! The people of garbage and sinful filth. History will tell that he was a great leader and at least now for the uninformed or plain ignoramus don't have to like him but you have to respect him, at least his audacity. Those who don't like him but respects him makes them only fair. Those who don't like him and don't respect him for his audacity for having being what could still sadly be considered today racially handicapped and still running for office, at least respect his audacity if nothing else because if not that says one of two things about your character, you're a bigot or you're an idiot. It's funny how Trump can screw so many people, commit something 5X of Watergate, backs out of only two countries in the world and now three, the U.S., backs out of the Paris climate agreement and he can still serve as president. I don't know but my gut tells me prior commander in chief's would've been getting a lot of hell from the congress. Is it because Trump is mega rich? You tell me.

3 George W Bush George Walker Bush is an American politician and businessman who was born in July 6, 1946. He served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. He is the eldest son of Barbara and George H. W.

President Bush was more concerned with the title of being President rather than the well being of this country. I'm sure he would consider his greatest accomplishment was the invasion of Iraq, and the killing of Sadam!

Iraq. Need I say more? That alone should have got him booted in 2004 (if not impeached).

4 Ronald Reagan Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004

Never researched or allocated money for the cure or treatment of Aids. Believed ketchup was a vegetable and trees caused pollution. Promulgated the worst economic policy...trickle down economics and began the disintegration of the middle class. Iran/contra. The worst piece of garbage next to trump,.

Gives trump a run for his money on this list!

5 Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson was an American statesman who served as the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837 . He was born near the end of the colonial era, somewhere near the then-unmarked border between North and South Carolina, into a recently immigrated Scots-Irish farming family of relatively modest means.

Jackson has not always been hated. He was a public figure, a very popular one, two hundred years ago and is now being judged by today's expectations.

Genocide of Native Americans. Over ride of Marshalls legal declarations with the arrogant "now let him enforce it"

During his time, Andrew Jackson was more revered than any other president, ever!

6 Richard Nixon Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974, the only president to resign from office. He had previously served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, and prior to that as a U.S. Representative and also Senator from California.

Other than that little watergate issue, his foreign policy was better than most presidents.

7 Lyndon Baines Johnson

The fake Tonkin Gulf Incident that ignited the Vietnam War from a police action to an actual war should be enough to make him #1 all by itself.

8 Chester A. Arthur Chester Alan Arthur was an American attorney and politician who served as the 21st President of the United States; he succeeded James A. Garfield upon the latter's assassination.
9 George H. W. Bush George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 - November 30, 2018) was an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989.
10 John Tyler John Tyler was the tenth President of the United States. He was also, briefly, the tenth Vice President, elected to that office on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison.
The Contenders
11 Herbert Hoover Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman and politician who served as the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933 during the Great Depression.

Did nothing when the stock market crashed. 'Just a dam' president.

12 William Howard Taft William Howard Taft served as the 27th President of the United States and as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, the only person to have held both offices.
13 Jimmy Carter James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician and author who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center.

Economic and international policy 'belly-flop'
Not a bad guy, just a horrible president.

Not really a bad guy, just completely incompetent.

He should be way higher

14 Andrew Johnson Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of [Abraham Lincoln].

20 William Henry Harrison William Henry Harrison was an American statesman who served as the 9th President of the United States from March 4, 1841 until his death on April 4, 1841. The cause of death of William Henry Harrison was pneumonia, after a cold and wet inauguration.

What kind of an idiot forgets to wear a jacket to his inauguration in January? Naturally he caught Pneumonia and died in 30 days, and so became the shortest-serving president, probably for the best.

21 James K. Polk James Knox Polk was the 11th president of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849. He previously was Speaker of the House of Representatives and governor of Tennessee.
22 Rutherford B. Hayes Rutherford Birchard Hayes was the 19th President of the United States from 1877 to 1881, an American congressman, and governor of Ohio. Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist who defended runaway slaves in court proceedings.
23 Dwight D. Eisenhower Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was an American politician and general who served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. He was a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe.

Hated by the Nazis, Japanese Empire, and the Axis Powers because he defeated them during WW2 as Supreme Allied Commander, then hated by people who wanted to travel easily and safely across the country by way of the Interstate Highway System that he built in the 1950's.

24 Zachary Taylor Zachary Taylor was the 12th President of the United States, serving from March 1849 until his death in July 1850. Before his presidency, Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general.
