Woodrow fucking Wilson. Worst. President. Ever.

Andrew Johnson
Oh he's my number two, with Andrew Jackson taking third. Then we get to people like Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Mango Mousolini.
I think a lot of the worst presidents basically embodied the historical time they were in and were just the ones at the helm of the presidency. Other's like Johnson, I'd say with the issue of reconstruction specifically, that was a true hinge point that just went to absolute shit and we're still living with it.
Coming in hot. Didnโt he imprison Eugene Debbs?
That appears to have been Grover Cleveland
