Stupidest U.S. Presidents

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.

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.

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.

Trump is way more stupid than Bush
N Y Times

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.)

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...

This dump tops this list!

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 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.

He spent 8 long years trying to look like a President, but all he managed to accomplish, was divide our people almost beyond repair! America should thank GOD everyday that a true genius has arrived to start repairing all his stupid actions. President Donald Trump is a man of Honor and we will see a far better America after his 8 year term!

Gave government jobs to his crooked friends. He only won because he was good looking

This man was one of our last good Presidents, based solely on Peace, Liberty, and Constitution as ratified. Should be lower on this list. - khodge

The original Donald Trump - PerfectImpulseX

Foolisu minister

His name starts with an u!

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.

WORST PRESIDENT BEST EX PRESIDENT - FleetAdmiralDanny

Really? How can harry truman be stupid save on of the top 20 richest country in the world as our ally? Buchanan said that we need to calm down the south when the north are still angered! - hanseoklim

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.

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

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

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.

He had no education and couldn't even spell his name.

Why is he on our money?! He literally committed mass genocide.

- Hated paper money, yet is placed upon the $20.

Trail of tears, invading Florida occupied by Spain, a true idiot db

We were in the black when he was president not trillions of dollars in debt like we are now!

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!

Stupid and a womanizer

He didn't actually get stuck in a bath tub but he had two other bath tub accidents.

Got stuck in the bathtub. Enough said.

Taft rhymes with daft

His bathtub could fit four men.

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.

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

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

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