Okay, okay, there isn't really any good presidents, but all of them were bad in some way. Who was the absolute worst?
My vote goes to Harry Truman without a doubt.
>Dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, not to secure a victory, but to try to force a Japanese surrender before the Soviet Union could invade Manchuria. He deliberately removed the Soviet signature from the Potsdam declaration to prolong the war in order to remove the USSR from the victors against Japan, but the nukes didnt even work and Japan only surrendered after the USSR invaded anyway.
>Architect of Cold War containment
>Created NATO
>Cut ties with China and backed Taiwan
>Created the CIA
>Created NSA
>Required federal employees to demonstrate their loyalty to the United States
>Thousands of investigations and dismissals of suspected communists
>Criminalized advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government and was used against Communist Party members
>Korean War, including firebombing of North Korea killing millions, and he contemplated use of nukes during the Korean War
>Recognized Israel in 1948
>1949 Syrian coup
>1948 Italy election interference, gave money to anti-communist parties
>Public Law 280 transferred legal jurisdiction over tribal lands to states
>House Concurrent Resolution 108 identified tribes for termination
I fucking hate this man
>>2460834I was gonna say this.
>>2460842I don't think you understand how this "communism" thing works.
It has to be Obama.
>too weak/spineless to deal with Congress, uses executive orders instead, opening the door for Trump
>no real policies other than “Hope”
>asked if he was an idealist or realist, couldn’t give a straight answer
>launches an offensive against the Taliban, openly tells the public the war plan and deployment schedule essentially giving them away to the enemy
>after the Patreaus fail, he officially ends the Afghan war in 2014 by simply renaming it, cycles through commanders like a revolving door, no real plan for what to do in Afghanistan, troops stay in their bases and do nothing for the next 7 years
>planned to 100% quit Iraq in 2011, fails miserably, has to send them back in 2014
>promises to end the war on terror, can’t, so he renames it “oversees contingency operation” and tells everyone he’s ended it
>Snowden leaks drop, continues to lie to the public despite everyone being able to read the Snowden docs, Obama thinks we are stupid
>couldn’t even get Obama care done
>stimulus package sucked, didn’t punish the Wall St. banks for 2008 meltdown like most other countries
>pardoned Bush era torturers because… no reason given “muh hope and shieeet”
>gets the Nobel prize for being black and not Bush, gives an unhinged rant about the importance of war and fighting terrorism at his acceptance speech for a peace prize
>starts several new wars
>jokes about his war crimes at the White House correspondence dinner
>only achievement was killing some old dude in Pakistan, takes credit for finding Bin Laden when everyone else except the Americans knew where he was
>despite killing OBL, he’s still hated for being black
