Top 10 Weirdest United States Presidents

The Top Ten

  1. Donald Trump

    Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

    Here is a guy who tried so hard to become president, and when he got it, he tried to mandate adoration and love from people who simply find him contemptible. He's like a stalker who can't understand why he can't score on the first date and then tells everyone that he turned her down because she is such a stupid pig.

    Can't argue with this one. As far as weirdness goes, he definitely takes the cake. Better vote for him now, though. He's not going to be around much longer.

    This doesn't make sense to me. The only weird thing about Trump is his god-awful hair. He is more, I don't know, stupid and immature.

  2. Franklin Pierce

    Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States, serving from 1853 to 1857. A northern Democrat, he viewed the abolitionist movement as a threat to national unity. His presidency is often criticized for his support of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which exacerbated sectional tensions.

    The Democrats back then were pro-slavery, but still, you'd think that he'd support the movement since he was a northerner.

    Just look at the description for this item. Need I say more?

  3. 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.

    This guy has got to be one of the unluckiest politicians in America. He only served as president for a month before dying of a cold, literally.

    It's beyond me why he didn't simply wear a jacket to his inauguration.

    Remember kids, wear jackets to cold inaugurations.

  4. 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 had a long military career as an officer in the United States Army.

    Died from eating too many cherries and drinking too much milk on a hot day.

    Now that's a weird way to die.

    He called himself weird while in office.

  5. 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.

Prior to his presidency, he served as the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975 and maintained a career as a Hollywood actor and... read more

    He thought trees caused pollution and wanted the poorest children to have ketchup instead of vegetables. He never paid any attention to the national scourge that was AIDS and let so many die. He was involved in Iran-Contra, for which he let Oliver North take the fall. He is beyond contemptible and should clearly top this list and any other list that features incompetents.

    Not really weird, but very quirky and witty humor.

    Incompetent, shallow, selfish jerk.

  7. James K. Polk

    James Knox Polk was the 11th President of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849.

    If you think this man is weird or evil, allow me to say you are full of bologna and have been pumped full of far-right nonsense.

    He's only remotely weird because he handled the most grim situations in modern history, and he was the funniest at the WH Correspondents' Dinners.

    Make America Accepting of Other Ethnicities and Smart Again!

    He got stuck in a bathtub.

    Throughout his life, he was always using profane language. His parrot eventually started using it as well, and the parrot had to be taken away from his funeral because it was swearing too much.
