Yeah, Johnson was bad. The contenders for worst president are probably Harding, Johnson, and Buchanan.

Johnson was sabatoged. He was weak but he didn't do active harm.

Harding and Trump purposefully harm(ed) the country to benefit cronies.

This President is so bad he almost defies categorization as a President. He's not committed to doing the job at all. I would put him in with William Henry Harrison and James Garfield. 

As for the Jackson stuff, I'd put him as average, not great. Mostly because what he did to the natives was legitimately horrific, but also because his actual accomplishments were not that great. Paying off the debt didn't really do anything and might have been a hindrance. He brought a sort of mob rule to Washington, which again is mix bag. But he certainly wasn't a caretaker, so I'll give him credit for that.

I'd say that Harding shouldn't even count. He gets an honorable mention. 
I wouldn't feel comfortable saying Trump is the worst, yet. So far yeah he's loud, offensive, and boisterous,
but he's pretty much a lame duck. Sure he has his EOs, but the next dem president is just gonna wipe it away. Let me know when he gets some actual legislation done that is as hard as the ACA to get rid of.
I would put Johnson, Buchanan, and Wilson as the top three for worst president, though.

While presentism has its pros and cons, I'd largely agree with the idea that we shouldn't put our own morality on those in the past.
However, he had his critics at the time so it's not as simple as "it was 200 years ago ignore it." It's like saying that "of course people had slaves you can't judge them" when there was literally Tubman and other emancipation leaders fighting to get slaves free at the same time as other people were happily owning slaves. 
Maybe if we're talking about soldiers from 2000 years ago raping the losers side I'd get it

The graver threat are the invisible guardrails to our democracy that are being smashed; the uncodified political norms that are being torn up. (bipartisan consensus and anti-majoritarianism safeguards like the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees, partisan self-restraint and fair play, not using temporary control of government institutions for partisan advantage, respect for the free press, etc.)

Whether or not Donald Trump enshrines himself as dictator of the United States of America (I don't think he can, or will)-- Do you think it's more or less likely, in the aftermath of his presidency, that the country will fall under the spell of a competent populist demagogue who's able to appeal to the worst impulses of Americans to rise to power and take total control over everything?

I think the answer is more likely.

You guys always seem to leave out the part where these Indians were killing American settlers. It's not like Jackson said "hey, for s***s and giggles, let's massacre these people." There were ongoing skirmishes along multiple frontier borders, not to mention efforts where the British and Spanish teamed up with the Indians to fight Americans.

They had permission via a treaty signed by the Cherokee people. The Trail of Tears took place because the Indians did not want to leave land that had been legally granted to the U.S.

So it really depends on your criteria. Unless something about Trump changes I think his favorability is going to dip even more over time.

In the moment I think most people will write him off as a president that accomplished nothing and therefore isn't of note. But in the long run he has sown more division among the branches of government, the media, and just the populace in general. Those scars will not magically heal and will fester for quite some time. There is also the matter of a somewhat illegitimate Supreme Court nomination, not solely on him mind you, but however that pick turns out will be attributed to him. 

And of course if anything comes of global warming that we are not prepared for you can lay a lot of it back it his feet where he turned petulant while the rest of the world agreed to do something.

There is evidence that the treaty was not signed by relevant tribal authorities and might have been signed under the threat of force (automatically nullifying it). It would be like if China signed a treaty with AlternativeFAQs for all of our land, without consulting the Senate or President.

    Harvey never made is above category 3. It was not an especially large or powerful storm. It just happened to make landfall in the U.S., which is fairly uncommon. That has nothing to do with climate change.

    Admiral is right here. Unseasonal hurricanes/tropical storms could be used for evidence of climate change, but this wasn't some special storm. It was so damaging because it was moving at a crawl. Faster storms tend to cause less damage cause they move out of the area faster and break up sooner.

    I'd say Polk was actually an immensely successful president. Admittedly the justification for the Mexican War is somewhat dubious, but along side Jefferson, he deserves credit for expanding the country into what we have today (shame that he couldn't get us the 54' 40" though). Although from a moral standpoint, he was essentially Jackson 2.0, still one of the most successful presidents.

    woodrow wilson was worse than either of these two

    as was Reagan

    as was Bush Jr.

    as was the foreign policy-end of LBJ's administration 

    etc. 

    Even better presidents overall had enormous f***ups. FDR's internment camps are worse than anything Harding or Trump have done and I can be pretty certain Trump will never f*** up that bad. 

    Trump falls into the "incompetent" spectrum of presidents. He can't keep his cabinet held together, people around him drop like flies, and in contrary to his "great negotiator" promise, he's demonstrably s***ty at getting anything done because he can't even go five days without his own party s***ting on him.

    Only 21 Category 4 or stronger hurricanes are known to have made landfall in the US since 1851 
    ( source: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E23.html )

    That averages out to roughly 1 every 8 years. So you're right in saying they're not super rare, but they are still quite uncommon.

    What makes Harvey exceptional is the location it made landfall at, combined with its prolonged stationary period which maximized devastating flooding. While climate change is at least partially to blame for its formation, the path it took was mostly just dumb luck.

    What's uncommon is making landfall in the U.S., which I said before. That part has nothing to do with climate change. The category 4 storms themselves are not that uncommon. They just typically fizzle out in the ocean and don't make major news stories.

    That averages out to roughly 1 every 8 years. So you're right in saying they're not super rare, but they are still quite uncommon.


    What's uncommon is making landfall in the U.S., which I said before. That part has nothing to do with climate change. The category 4 storms themselves are not that uncommon. They just typically fizzle out in the ocean and don't make major news stories.

    Climate change is to blame.

    I'm not entirely sure if climate change has much to do with this particular event. Dunno why the topic devolved into this but if you're going to make one claim one way or the other you should probably link some statements from climatologists, the NOAA, etc, and not msm/alt media sites since they often misreport climate-related s***.

    A master's degree in history is one of the most wasteful and useless degrees to pursue. You can literally learn everything you would pursuing that degree completely for free.

    Do you think that history is just knowing dates and facts?

    I thought the general consensus was that Buchanan was the worst for...y'know, letting the whole country become divided - leading up to the events of the American Civil War.

    Jackson is with people like Roosevelt where they helped the economy


    He literally created a financial crisis that led to a seven-year long recession that was so bad children born during it ended up shorter than the previous generation due to malnutrition.

    But he was a populist so some idolize him. He was for the common man, like the Venezuelan government.
    I am honestly on board for throwing Andrew Johnson into the bottom notch.

    I'm unaware of any study that specifically links Harvey to climate change. Even so, that field of attribution science is very young and not very certain at this point. It is quite well known that higher temperatures can lead to more severe storms - both in water content and storm lifetime. Harvey on its own isn't evidence of that, it's well within the standard deviation of historical storms AFAIK. So quit it with these sensationalist claims and stick to the science please.

    Back on topic, it'd be interesting to hear a little bit about why you think X president was bad, if you can be bothered. I know about the Trail of Tears a little, but I barely know of many of the other presidents mentioned ITT more than by name.
    Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two.
    JFK is my pick for worst president. He was physically and mentally unprepared for the job and risked World War 3 to keep missiles in Turkey that were going to get removed anyway.

    Oh the left is at it again with their Trump hate. Move on people hes not going anywhere for the next 8 years.

    So Trump is one of the worst presidents after serving less than a year why? Because he wants to uphold current immigration laws? Because he "offends" people on Twitter? Because he's not the standard president the people didn't elect him to be?

    Al Gore made it hip to blame natural disasters that have happened for millennia on human influenced climate change.

    He also stopped the Civil War from starting 30ish years earlier than it did...that counts for something.
