  1. Harry S. Truman is generally considered the best U.S. president who was profoundly unpopular and unliked while in office. While often ranked in the top 10 by historians today, Truman left office in 1953 with some of the lowest approval ratings in history . Reddit +1 Here is a breakdown of why Truman, along with others, fits this description: 1. Harry S. Truman (President 1945–1953) Why he was unliked: Truman faced a challenging post-war economy, a stalemate in the Korean War (which many dubbed "Truman's war"), and corruption scandals within his administration. In February 1952, his Gallup poll approval rating fell to 22%, lower than Nixon's rating during Watergate. Why he is considered great: Historians now praise him for laying the foundations for winning the Cold War, implementing the Marshall Plan, and navigating the integration of the Armed Forces. VOA - Voice of America English News +3 2. Abraham Lincoln (President 1861–1865) Why he was unliked: Lincoln was arguably the most unpopular president at the time of his inauguration and throughout the Civil War. Northern newspapers often called him a "simple Susan" and a weakling, and many considered his early military decisions a failure. In February 1863, it was reported that he had no "personal loyalty" to him in Washington. Why he is considered great: He preserved the Union and abolished slavery, and his popularity only surged after his assassination. American Battlefield Trust +1 3. Jimmy Carter (President 1977–1981) Why he was unliked: Carter was viewed as incompetent during his term, particularly regarding the Iran Hostage Crisis, high inflation, and economic downturn. Why he is considered great: While his presidency was considered a failure by many at the time, his post-presidency humanitarian work has made him one of the most respected former presidents, turning him into a "good" historical figure. Reddit +1 4. Ulysses S. Grant (President 1869–1877) Why he was unliked: Although popular at first, Grant's presidency was marred by the Panic of 1873 (a massive economic downturn) and extensive corruption scandals. Why he is considered great: Modern historians have elevated Grant, recognizing his strong efforts to protect freed slaves, fight the Ku Klux Klan, and expand civil rights in the South.

  2. You’ve been “talking down” to the “Trump crowd” for a while now. Trump hasn’t changed. I only wonder why some are gluttons for punishment.
  3. You should have voted for Kamala. All she knows is that Iran is a big country, kinda like Ukraine. You’d have Iranians up the keister, kinda like Dearborn. You voted for Trump 3 times. Let him do his job.
  4. Magic lamps and flying carpets too.
  5. What better way to show hypocrisy than to expose the two worst presidents in history….after Carter? The dems are ate up with it.
  6. This is how Iran/Muslims are attacking America. I don’t think it can be legislated away. To me, this is what the 2nd amendment is all about.
  7. NYC could use their support.
  8. and he said it wrong….lol
  9. Notice all the bobble heads, especially her husband behind her.
  10. Wrong. Iran wanted nukes so they could eliminate Israel. It’s not rocket science. As for being armed….my friend in Evadale and I could thwart an Iranian invasion, except that they are cowardly back fighters. I liked that the shooter at Old Dominion was killed by unarmed students. I believe they beat him to death.
  11. Taking democrats at their word….lmao….
