Also, he wouldn’t make it to “average” he failed to even survive 2 months of his term, let alone get anything done, I think he might be the biggest failure on the entire list. Dude failed at breathing ffs, let alone ruling.

I don’t trust the analysis of someone who calls the presidency “ruling,” in all honestly Harrison is unrankable. He didn’t get to do anything

The President is in fact the Head of State of the USA, that makes him a ruler. A ruler with restrictions on what he can do, but nonetheless, the sovereign leader of the country.

I will be the rare Buchanan defender, like I always am, and say that there really wasn’t much Buchanan could’ve done to stop the Civil War. The shit was inevitable by the time he was in office. Which is why Franklin Pierce is the worst President of all time, and not James Buchanan. Because Pierce MADE it inevitable.

I do agree that the civil war almost certainly couldn’t have been avoided but Buchanan didn’t really do much to try to calm tensions either. Backing the awful lecompton constitution in Kentucky and supporting the Dred Scott ruling pissed off the north to no end. Even though he was publicly proslavery the south still viewed him as a traitor and his state of the union where he basically said that secession is illegal but there’s nothing he can do to stop it basically gave the south the green light

To start leaving the union. It wasn’t even three whole weeks later that South Carolina left the union! also, less important but his hands off handling of the Panic of 1857 also didn’t help matters at all lol

I posted my own tier list of Presidents on here, and Buchanan is still in low F-Tier, don’t get me wrong. I just find the “he didn’t stop the Civil War” critique a tad unfair, because he could not have possibly stopped that shit fr

I have learned that apparently William Henry Harrison’s grandson, Benjamin Harrison, was also President. He is regarded as a completely mediocre President who was in power during a period of general political stability and didn’t really fuck it up too bad. So one of Trump’s rankings is actually correct. Benjamin Harrison was average.

yeah my biggest complaint isn’t that he didn’t stop the war from happening but that he didn’t even START the war at all. He took zero action in the three months between South Carolina’s secession and Lincoln’s inauguration and it wasn’t until Lincoln was in office that the union actually started mobilizing troops to put down the rebellion. Who knows what could’ve happened if he never said he wouldn’t act against states that secede or if he moved swiftly to put down the rebels in South Carolina

But yeah you right, Franklin Pierce is also bottom tier of all time, and the worst part is he doesn’t get nearly the same flack that Buchanan (rightly) gets 💔

Franklin Pierce being from New Hampshire blows my fucking mind, man. Dude was the original 2016 Anti-SJW Chud turned 2025 Nazi Influencer type. Dude didn’t even own slaves at any point in his life but went “Man, these abolitionists are annoying, time to be The Slavery Guy”

I got a question: What was the name for the ramshackle slums that popped up during the Depression which housed the urban unemployed who lost their housing after their jobs?

Remind me whose idea was it to Promote monopolies, attempt to artificially reduce agriculture output, and cause the social security headache we're dealing with today?

Just an objectively incorrect statement lol. FDR’s policies when he got into office factually helped us get out of the depression gradually

No that was WWII. FDR did some good but he did kinda rule as a fascist from the classical perspective (the markets and the state working in Union for the good of the nation)

"The NRA provided that in America each industry should be organized into a federally supervised trade association. It was not called a corporative. It was called a Code Authority. But it was essentially the same thing. These code authorities could regulate production, quantities, qualities, prices, distribution methods, etc., under the supervision of the NRA. This was fascism.” - John T. Flynn, The Roosevelt Myth

Brother Hoover wrote to FDR before FDR was even president saying I fucked up bad and don't know how to fix it essentially. The emergency banking act in 1933 was the first step towards getting out of the depression. You sound like you're talking out of your ass here
