David Palmer aside of course, who would you rank as the best? I know little, so would be interested to see what you reprobates think.
Who’s been the best US President?
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Kanye West says he's running for president this year. Or rather 'Kayne Wets' as Twitter trends has it.
Honestly if Kanye West becomes US President I’m done.
Could he really be worse than Trumpet? I don't think it's even possible.
Well this thread just took a sharp left turn
.
Anyway I think Jefferson is a decent shout.

Looking at how things are over there its not even an impossibility is it? I Idiocracy unfolding before our eyes it seems....
I'm half-expecting Trump to tweet, complaining about his lack of mentions in this thread.
Has to be Lincoln or Truman.
People hate Truman because of the bombs, but he was a good president.
RFK would have been the best.

Consensus amongst historians is Washington, Lincoln and FDR, with the first two interchangeable for the top spot.
Bill Clinton, no war, boom economy
Washington, Lincoln, FDR, LBJ
Got blown in the oval office...
Bill Clinton? No, war boom. Economy!
Best: Lincoln, Obama, Clinton
Worst: LBJ, Nixon, Trump
Worst: LBJ, Nixon, Trump
Yes I think he’d just as bad. His comments on slavery just show how utterly brain dead he is. He’s a musical genius and he has some business acumen with regards to his but he’s also the biggest clown out of there. Him and Trump are like two peas in a pod.
FDR, Lincoln, Clinton.
Sounds like another Late Registration.
I thought Obama was seen now as quite a poor President who didn't actually get much done?
Erm you forgot about the war in Kosovo. But he made the right choice there.
Abraham Lincoln. Abolished slavery.
Trumps rise to the Presidency has to be worth something, from day 1 he was laughed at, taunted, ridiculed etc. by many republicans as well as Democrats so how the hell did he become President? Suspect even he doesn't know.
One things for certain he may not be the best President, but they will be writing books on his rise to the top for many years, studies of how he did it will become standard text in political science for generations.
Especially if he walks away from it before the next election?

Graham Lincoln was decent
Hilary just too much represented the corperate establishment and politcal dynasty. Of course Trump embodies all that as well, but managed to win through the slogan "I''m not a politian". And all the racists wanted to get back after having to endure a black president for 8 years. It was their nightmare come true.

He is by Progressives, who felt ‘betrayed’ by him. Given that the right also hates him, it is difficult to judge his Presidency. He certainly doesn‘t belong on that short list anymore than LBJ, who is actually one spot ahead of Obama on the most recent Siena poll at #16, belongs on the shortlist of bad presidents.
Notably, in regards to that Siena poll among scholars, Clinton who has gotten mentions here is at #15.
FDR achieved a hell of a lot if memory serves.
Lincoln is #1. Most rankings usually have Washington at #2 and FDR at #3.
I'm surprised nobody has said Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
@Shamana wtf is wrong you? Edit your post you dummy.
The biggest magic isn't trump but how the feck the whole world be fooled by Americans.
Turns out half of them aren't that smart after all.
Stalin would turn in his grave knowing all it takes to destroy america is a Trump and a pee tape.
Jimmy Carter for sure.
Malaise forever!
Malaise forever!
Kardashians in the WH? Sweet Jesus. World end.
You might wanna tone that down a bit bud
Edited. Apology, was refering to the rhetoric the racist GOP used amongst themselves.

FDR, Lincoln, and Washington are all pretty interchangeable as the top 3.
Not for want of trying. Republican control of one house killed a lot of his bills.
I think on some levels he was what the USA needed after George Bush. He inherited the worst financial crises since the great depression and 2 wars started by his predesscor. I think in terms of foregin policy, he was in a lose lose situation. No matter what he would do there, he would get battered from both sides. It's depressing really. If the US had made a intervention in Syria like they did in Kosovo-Bosnia war, they would probably still be stuck there and he would be called a US imperialist.
FDR and Jefferson are the two best imo but FDR clearly deserves top slot.
Clinton
Nowhere near the best.
