Worst American Politicians

The Top Ten
1 Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's... read more

Its hard to compare specifics with the technology from 50 years ago, but Hillary Clinton makes Richard Nixon look like a Boy Scout in terms of dishonesty and corruption.
She has had 10 incidents worse than Watergate just by herself, and that is not counting being an enabler for Bill to abuse women.

Clear political mafia leader, who committed treason and espionage, is a narcissistic perpetual liar with zero scruples, and hates all people, especially Americans.

Her supporters surrounded some women and kids who were going home after a Trump event, and attacked them with eggs, what a nice bunch of people.

2 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

Who does this pathetic, loathsome, black-hearted dickless little snake think he is. Running for the most powerful office in the world with no experience and no idea what he's doing, appointing totalitarian sociopaths to high positions of power, running on a platform consisting entirely of pure hatred, fear and the glorification of irrationality and bigotry and deliberately trying to soothe his insatiable narcissism by forming a cult of brainless quislings who all talk about him like they want to screw him. The American people will never tolerate Donald Trump's blatant disregard for the benefit of everyone but himself, regardless of his army of rednecks!

He spent his life conning people with his crappy hotels and casinos and reality T.V., and somehow managed to con his way into the presidency. Now it's obvious he has no idea what he's doing. Just smiles for his supporters and insults anyone who disagrees with him. Wants to build a gigantic 2000-mile wall without any plan or money to pay for it. Started the Trade War with China and tanked our economy. Excessive bombing of Afghanistan and Syria, is now supporting Saudis in Yemen without permission from Congress. Kisses up to dictators and takes dumps on our allies. Thinks loyalty to the country means you need to love the president. Incredibly thin-skinned angry Twitter celebrity, can't take any criticism without calling someone a traitor. Has the most toxic fanbase of any modern-day politician. Corrupt idiot who only cares about his own wallet, hotels, and Saudi oil. Might start a war in Iran or Venezuela. Will probably be impeached and will blame Congress for everything by the time he leaves office.

Sad.

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.

He couldn't reduce unemployment one bit towards the end of his presidency! Not to mention he started our war in Iraq! George W. Bush may not have caused 9/11, but he sure did start our war with Iraq on the excuse of WMD's in Iraq, which happened to have never existed in the first place!

He is the reason why millions of people died, he lied to the American people, and his policies caused economic problems and death to many parts of the world, he should be spending the rest of his life in prison.

I see dislikes on criticisms of George W. Bush, yet I see none of the people who like George W. Bush giving reasons why our claims are invalid.

4 Mike Pence Michael Richard Pence is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 48th and current Vice President of the United States, in office since January 20, 2017. He previously held the position of Governor of Indiana from 2013 to 2017.

Not as bad as Trump, but still sucks

Great Vice-President

5 Joe Biden Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009... read more

I actually cannot believe I saw some potential out of this guy back then in 2020. This really did age poorly.
Joe Biden isn't any better than Trump when it comes to running his job as president of the United States and his views are really stupid.
I now dislike both Trump and Biden, even though I don't hate Donald Trump as much as I used to.

Please! Anyone but him! Even 6ix9ine with a goldfish as running mate would be better.

I hope he becomes president

6 Jefferson Sessions
7 Roy Moore
8 Franklin D. Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known as FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 to 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and dominated his party for many years as a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression... read more

"He managed to pull us out of the Great Depression." Are you aware that the Depression lasted only two years globally, but ten years in the U.S. due to Roosevelt's socialist policies? Do you approve of his turning over half of Europe to Stalinist terror and tyranny, from which it did not emerge for 44 years?

Why is he on here? I thought he was a good president. Sure, he may have put the United States in a lot of debt after World War II, but he managed to pull us out of the Great Depression. If you're going to use communism as an excuse to hate him, you're wrong.

This guy did many great things, and also terrible things. I don't think he should be on the top 20 worst, but he should be kept in check in regards to what he did to Japanese-Americans (Internment).

9 Ted Cruz Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz is an American politician and attorney serving as the junior United States Senator from Texas since 2013. He was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.

I think he is a great man.

10 Bill Clinton William Jefferson Clinton (Born August 19th 1946) is an American politician who was the 42nd President of the United States. He previously served as governor of Arkansas. He became president after unseating incumbent president George H.W. Bush in 1992. He was re-elected in 1996 after defeating Senator Bob Dole. A member of the Democratic Party, Clinton was ideologically a New Democrat and many of... read more

He was okay until he tried to bail out liberal criminals. What! But his wife is worse...

Really bad president. He should have been impeached.

11 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.

He had many great ideas, was nice, and shared my political views (Liberal), but he didn't get much accomplished and also was responsible for the Iran Hostage Crisis...

This "really nice guy" has never met a third-world dictator he wouldn't hug.

President Carter is a nice man, but his policies just didn't work.

12 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born October 13th, 1989), also known by her initials AOC, is an American activist and politician. She served as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019 as a member of the Democratic Party.

Should be #1! Thinks unemployment is low because people have 2 jobs. Doesn't know the branches of government. Proposes a deal that costs US taxpayers $40T which says to rebuild every building in America, reduce cars, planes, trains by 90%, get rid of farting cows. Calls people who want to debate her "catcallers". The fact that she won a seat shows how ignorant and stupid the people of New York are. Vote for Democrats and you get a circus.

So dumb and immature. She adopted African American vernacular so black people will like her, she hates capitalism, she was "traumatized" by the riots. This woman is just like a spoiled girl who exaggerates everything!

She thinks that unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs

13 Kamala Harris Kamala Devi Harris (born October 20th, 1964) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president, as well as the first African American and first Asian American vice president in American history.
14 Rick Perry
15 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. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.

Before you go and call me a brainwashed Obamabot, let me tell you some things Barack Obama has done for the economy. Technically, he did deal well with the Bush deficit and managed to decrease unemployment. It's just that he didn't do nothing about the federal debt, which is perhaps the most bad thing about him in all. He's not the best president ever, but you can at least thank him for reducing unemployment, something George W. Bush couldn't do.

He should be put on trial for Treason for what he did the America and the world with the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Obama was so bad. I'm really glad he left the White House. He did absolutely nothing for America.

16 Sarah Palin Sarah Louise Palin is an American politician, commentator, and author who served as the ninth Governor of Alaska from 2006 until her resignation in 2009. As the Republican Party nominee for Vice President in the 2008 Presidential election running with the Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, she was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major political party and the... read more

This woman is so annoying and a spokeswoman for the Tea Party movement, one of the most cancerous movements to ever plague this country and take over the Republican Party.

17 David Duke David Ernest Duke is an American white supremacist, white nationalist politician, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Worse than Trump or Bush or anybody on this list, I mean he was the grand wizard of the KKK, why isn't he number one?

18 Franklin Pierce Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States. Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation.
19 Liz Cheney
20 James Buchanan James Buchanan, Jr. was the 15th President of the United States, serving immediately prior to the American Civil War.

James Buchanan failed to keep the Union strong and was not correct on the issue of slavery. He is one of America's worst presidents.

He looks like a drunk idiot in that portrait. Oh well, it best represents how incompetent he was when he couldn't stop the Civil War.

"Couldn't stop the Civil War? " What a grossly ignorant statement. Do you have the first clue as to what precipitated the "Civil War? "

21 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.
22 Mitch McConnell Addison Mitchell McConnell Jr. is an American politician serving as Kentucky’s senior United States Senator and as Senate Majority Leader.

The sooner this obstructionist turtle dies of a stroke the better off our country will be.

Coward, flip-flopper, liar, buffoon, and obstructionist.

The famous obstructionist. Get this guy out of office.

23 Bernie Sanders Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

A complete numbskull in every sense of the word. Clinton, awful as she is, at least has a kindergarten-level intellect. And Trump should not be anywhere near the top ten.

He will be really great until he runs out of your money to give to people who did not earn it.

He's going to turn America into socialist Venezuela.

24 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.

Hoover tried his best to handle the depression. He was a humanitarian and saved many lives as Secretary of Commerce.

25 Dick Cheney Richard Bruce Cheney, generally known as Dick Cheney is an American politician and businessman who was the 46th Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009, under President George W. Bush.
