I believe it was David Lloyd George who said of Wilson that he seemed to imagine himself to be the logical candidate for the first vacancy in the Trinity.

churn out propaganda to feed to the press to sell the war.


It was the birth of the advertising industry in the US.

Wilson gave socialism a toe-hold in this country. Up till his administration the socialists and anarchists were annoying gnats.

Wilson was absolutely hands down the worst president in US history.

Agreed, he and his minions unleashed a propaganda front to further his agenda on an American populace that was completely unfamiliar with such, it could almost be considered a "virgin field epidemic" of the mind.

LOL

If any president today exhibited the overt racism that Wilson did, he’d be run out of town.

I would still have to go with Andy Jackson.

It was under him that we began to change the rules on how we run the country because he got his itty-bitty feelings hurt by being rejected by the electoral college.

He committed a number of illegal acts, looted the government, and crashed the economy.

Temper that with the fact that the Palmer raids under Wilson featured the mass deportation of radicals, some justified others not so much. Red Scare.

Nope.
Though clearly misguided and not Constitutionally founded as Woodrow Willson was, he did nowhere near the damage to the United States as constituted that King Barack Hussein Obama has done.
And he didn’t hate white America as Obama does.

Agreed. Wilson not only didn’t hate whites,
but treated blacks horribly. There’s a reason
his name is coming off of college buildings. LOL

Harding could never be the worst President, after all he selected Calvin Coolidge as his Vice President.

Lettists don’t like Coolidge or Harding either one.
And guess who writes the history and ranks the presidents?

I agree that Harding is by no means the worst president ever.

Yep. Consider that his biggest scandal, the Teapot Dome scandal, gave his administration a reputation for corruption, and it involved a cabinet Secretary shoveling natural resources deals to two of his buddies for the equivalent of about $7 million in today's money. Compare that to Uranium One and $145 million in today's money. Harding's boy was a choirboy compared to Hillary Clinton.

For my money it's between Wilson and 0bama, and the latter wins hands down. For true widespread, approved corruption it's hard to beat Holder, Jarrett, Lynch, Comey, Jones, the Mooch, and Barack Hussein himself, who is now sitting a multimillion dollar fortune that magically appeared during his tenure as Chief Executive.

Is he worse than Clinton? Yes, although it's a close call, but yes - his deliberate fanning of racial grievances caused long-lasting damage to a country that he openly held in contempt. His Middle East foreign policy was destabilizing, murderous, and disastrous. His energy policies stifled the economy and enriched his friends at taxpayer expense. He was personally cold, grasping, hypocritical, duplicitous, and worthless as a President and as a human being. And those were his good points.

Lyndon Johnson may not have been the worst President ever

I respectfully disagree. Johnson signed the Hart-Cellar Act which has allowed the invasion of the USA with tens of millions of fake Americans, Americans by paper only, who by their vibrant diversity have crapped on American values, vote for Rats to no end, suck on welfare and will eventually replace the natives, and will do so with a celebratory attitude. We are now well entering the end stage of this seditious law.

You’re right. He’s was not only a bad person, but a bad president as well.
