Stupidest 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, Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, ...read more.

I'm not surprised that this mentally ill; poor excuse for a human being is doing so poorly as a president of anything. He is our first mentally retarded/mentally ill president in history. He does and says things that only an idiot might say and is proud or filled with self indulgent fake superiority and intelligence as only he can explain. He brags about "tapes" and impedes constitutional and unconstitutional laws just as other famous past presidents (Richard Nixon) have done and met their Watergate. He hasn't even learned that he might just be a "Crook" as well as an "Idiot". He should stop before he shoots himself in the head or his wife by mistake. He might as well make himself the head of his own investigation of himself.

A unexperienced celebrity/businessman who's trying to make America worse (by spreading hate to muslims and the disabled, "celebrating" the military, hiring white supremacists in certain roles, dumb decisions etc). He's pretty much turning America into the next Nazi Germany (no Trump you're not like Lincoln, you're like Hitler or Stalin, heck Russia's trying to mess with us all with their propaganda that helped you win.)

Comparing Trump to Stalin? There is something wrong with you if you think that. Stalin started terror in the Soviet Union and killed communist party members. The list pretty much goes on with his horrid actions but overall Trump can never be compared to him. - Call

Have you heard his views on Andrew Jackson and the Civil War and now you can add his version of why Napoleon lost in Russia (because of extra curricular activities) and how the Russians defeated the Germans in WWII (one night of -35 degree temperature, just because of this one night). Plus he brags, "I'm like a smart person" or the infamous "...I have a good brain" and so it goes...

His 156 iq is false his iq is probibly 25 he's crazy

2 George W. Bush

George Walker Bush is an American politician who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. The eldest son of Barbara and George H. W.

Get your facts straight. This man did NOT inherit a recession of ANY kind; he inherited a SURPLUS because of how good our country was in financially and otherwise with a BOOMING economy! Those you disagree need to look for other sources that are NOT Fox News or MSNBC. Him and the Republicans in Florida cheated the 2000 election from Al Gore.

He destabilized the Middle East when he took out Saddam Hussein. His conies said the war wouldn't cost the U.S. much that oil $ would pay for it and we would be treated as liberators. Where did they get their intelligence from?

He sent our country into the most severe recession since the Great Depression.

Tax breaks for the rich in a time of war was a bit too much for our economy to handle.

He is a joke and an embarrassment. Shame on people who voted this puppet president into office twice.

Signature domestic achievement: No Child Left Behind is now considered a failure by even the most strident conservatives.
Signature international achievement: The war in Iraq is a dramatic failure that has made life much worse for millions of people. Made worse by the fact that his own Father said that this would be the case 10 years earlier when planning the first gulf war.

I love how our three most recent are the top

3 Barack Obama

Barack Hussein Obama II is the 44th president of the United States of America. He was elected in 2008 after serving in the Senate from 2005-08, beating John McCain and becoming the first African-American to be elected President of the United States. He was elected again in 2012, beating Mitt Romney.

OK, lets compare Obama to Bush for a second..

Obama's regulations got the economy back to pre-recession levels, and now the US is doing fairly well by international standards.
Bush removed all regulations and allowed corporations to destroy the economy.

Obama's policies created 7.7 million jobs.
Bush's policies created 2.6 million jobs.

Obama orchestrated the successful assassination of Osama Bin Laden and withdrew from both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bush lied to the American people, attacked Iraq to obtain it's oil reserves, created a vacuum of power eventually filled by ISIS and gave Bin Ladin time to escape from Afghanistan.

Obama responded to terrorist attacks by trying to ramp up public security and discouraging reactionary violence.
Bush responded to terrorist attacks by starting wars and killing more people than the attacks themselves.. by a lot.

Obama put restrictions on the NSA.
Bush gave the NSA the ability to spy on ...more

I also agree with everything you said. Bush is awful. But trump is the worst of the worst. - CostcoHotDogs

I can guarantee that EVERYONE who is so against him and are on this site are either racists. Even if you claim you're not a racist, if you genuinely say think he's a terrible president, I promise you, you're a racist piece of trash at heart, even if that's unconsciously.

Obama managed to clean up the mistakes Bush made. Bush was able to ruin all the good things Clinton did.

Also, the person said something about how the US needs to team up with Ukraine to defeat Russia (even though there's no actual war going on) and how Obama's bad for not doing that, did you ever maybe consider that the Ukraine-Russia conflict has NOTHING to do with us and that if we attacked, we'd be beyond screwed?

Barack Obama was the best president The United States of America has ever had, the only reason why he is hated is because those who hate him are the typical right right wing racists and capitalists. The reason why he is liked around the world, is that his politics were in line with the rest of the world. He did his job well and opened up new opportunities for everyone in the states. As Americans you should be glad that you had him as a president, since your current president Trump has begun to destroy human rights in your country, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. You will see by the end of this year 2017 that there is nothing good left in your country. Instead you will probably have a new civil war at hand or a revolution if Mr.Trump is not stopped and imprisoned.

Literally the only good things he did was legalize same-sex marriage in all of the states and allow transgender people to use the right bathroom of their gender.
But other than that he only did what he could to please everyone but ended up making everyone hate him. Stupid liberal.

4 Warren G. Harding

Warren Gamaliel Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1921 until his death in 1923.

James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. 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.

Called the energy crisis the "Moral Equivalent Of War," the acronym for which is "MEOW," the sound a cat makes. Botched the rescue operation in Iran for lack of a single helicopter when the U.S. military had 5,000 in its inventory at the time.

Why the hell did he increase gas prices?

A true national embarrasment.

His arrogance caused the civil war. - 1337

It was just his stupid arrogance that somehow got Lincoln killed, too. - IcetailofWishClan

He's quite intelligent. He's got an IQ of 141. He's just a terrible president.

9 Herbert Hoover

What an idiot! Yeah, you're lucky that FDR came after you to clean up your Great Depression mess.

Hoover did not start the Great Depression. It came unexpectedly. - IcetailofWishClan

Raised income taxes... Easily caused The Great Depression.

He didn't cause the depression. He probably made it much worse by hiking taxes and imposing tariffs, but it was coming before he even took office. - Alpha101

He did not cause the Great Depression...idiots - TSpoon98

10 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].

12 George H. W. Bush

Cheney did NOT pull the strings for Bush 41. Bush was directly in charge of how to deal with the Soviet Union as it was collapsing.

- "He really never was President. He was only a Puppet with Cheney pulling the strings".

Wrong Bush

Yeah he is the worst president because he gave birth to JUNIOR BUSH - FleetAdmiralDanny

He really never was President. He was only a Puppet with Cheney pulling the strings.

13 Richard Nixon

Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974 when he became the only U.S.

Richard was not stupid. On the contrary, he was quite clever, devious and cunning.

Richard was a great president. Then he was involved in the watergate. He has done WAY less lying than hillary clinton, and he was to be impeached. She, however, is allowed to run for president.

He just retired

He called Mr. Indira Gandhi a witch so I hate him - FleetAdmiralDanny

Hes one of the biggest reasons for our economy. Everyone blames Bush but it goes back to Clinton

Him, obama and bush followed and are following orders from one organization. Federal Reserve Bank. Open your eyes America!

18 Gerald Ford

19 Woodrow Wilson

Thomas Woodrow Wilson was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton, Virginia, he spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina.

This guy was way too smart. Clever and sneaky enough to completely ruin the country with his unconstitutional policies (income taxes, federal reserve act, etc.), lying the nation into a second term and then right into WW1 which he said he would stay out of, and to keep his insane racism on the down low. - khodge

Say what you will about his presidency, he was the only president with a doctorate and was certainly a very capable academic.

Sold out the country by signing the federal reserve act. Death bed regret of oh my god, what did I do

Keynesian Economics and Central Banking are signs of low intelligence, as are traditionalist ideologies. He was, to be blunt, a statist.

Certainly the dumbest. He didn't take mommy's advice to put on a coat or stay inside by the fire. - khodge

What? We don't know much about William Harrison's presidency. - IcetailofWishClan

All he did was give a hour long speech in a blizzard without a jacket, then die from a cold.

I saw what happened when his "trickle down" economics trickled nowhere. I saw the cuts he made to mental health and the streets of San Diego where flooded with people talking to themselves and shouting unintelligible things. How ironic that he himself became afflicted with Alzheimer's and maybe that was his problem while in office.

This president attacked every right of All Americans and did things in contrast to the constitution of the United States.
