    Trump.

    Don't you dare @ me
  • DT: Worst. President. EVER. (I hope you all heard the voice of The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons there...)

    My favorite before my lifetime? Lincoln. It's all about the beard.

    During my lifetime: Tough to say. I have a sentimental fondness for JFK, but great admiration for Obama. And while he wasn't much of a president, I think Jimmy Carter has been a GREAT ex-President. Come on, he's out their building low-cost housing with his own two hands. I just wish he was able to oversee the fairness of our own elections. I bet we wouldn't be in the situation we have now if Jimmy'd been in charge of the election of 2016...

    Reagan? Not a fan. Bill Clinton? Not much of a fan there either.

    The USA is like the Ming dynasty. Almost all the leaders suck.

    My professor American History at university actually said something interesting in one of his lectures about LBJ:

    “Johnson would be considered one of the best presidents but for one single f*** up: Vietnam.”

    After all, he passed the Civil Rights Act and created major social programs like Medicaire, Head Start and expanded Social Security.

    It appears he had some very modern views on issues that are still relevant in today’s US.

    I totally agree. And again, I was there. Not very old, but I was alive and aware. Johnson took flack he didn't entirely deserve based on Vietnam.

    Honestly I don't see how it could be anyone other than FDR. He was key to tackling two major crisis in American history, the great depression and the America First movement (here I am talking about the original one of course, the one that threatened to turn the USA into a semi nazi, anti semitic country. They were much closer to that than many people realize at some point). I think people actually tend to overlock how important his contribution was. He was absolutely essential in securing the boom in American economy and life quality during the fifties and a key player in waving the future of Europe in WW2.

    That's why he is my #1 as well...he did so much ,and helped my country a great deal,even before the US entered the war and was 'neutral'.

    For my American cousins : is Trump worse than Nixon ?

    Yes, much worse. Nixon never took Russian money to do their bidding.

    Yes, no contest. Trump is far worse than Nixon. Nixon brought on Watergate and ended up paranoid. Trump is another level of self serving corruption. He is our worst president by far.

    This current administration is shameful and history will not be glorifying Trump.
    His policies, his smirking approval of white supremists (even in his own administration), the bigotry and racism are evident. His actions and policies are harmful to our country, though he likes to promote his ideas in simple terms - and this president lies constantly. There is nothing trustworthy about him and he does not uphold our Constitution. It is a sorry state in America that he has gotten this far, but it has been a good clarifying call to our citizens, the majority of whom definitely reject him and his ideas. 2020 will be interesting, to say the least.

    Trump is a very hateful person. Nixon just did bad things. Trump is worse by a million miles.

    Well Nixon isn’t a bad “president” in fact he would have likely gone down as one of the best if he hadn’t made one stupid mistake.

    JFK, Teddy Roosevelt. I'm curious, who would you like to see be president? Joe Kennedy from Massachusetts would be one pick for me one day.

    Claire Underwood.

    Claire Underwood.

    You made me laugh at that. I would like to see a woman president in my lifetime though. Couldn't do any worse than the one we got now.

    Gonna take a lot of flack for this, but, in my lifetime, gotta say Donald Trump. 5 reasons why:

    5) Didn't have to cheat to get the nomination. DNC cheated big time for Hillary. Poor Bernie and all his supporters and donors, time and money spent, never had a chance from the very beginning.
    4) Not a rapist, like ole Billy boy.
    3) Promises made, promises kept.
    2) Hasn't doubled the debt of all previous presidents Combined, and has nothing to show for it. Yes, Great Obama, talking about you.
    1) Not a slimy lawyer/politician. Maybe, a slimy business man, but there is good reason why lawyers and politicians rank at the bottom of the occupational scale.

    Like... Mexico paying for the wall, lowering drug prices, defeating ISIS in 30 days, better healthcare, etc... ;)

    Yes, it has not doubled, it has tripled.

    Your drugs must be good.

    Regardless, of what some of you will nick pick about, he's still a way better pick than Hillary. But if you want to cheer for scumbag lawyers (the Clinton Cheaters) go right ahead. I would have supported anybody else, even if it wasn't DT. ps, btw how's your portfolios doing? hahaha.
  • Since I doubt you're listening I won't waste time going into details. Let it just be said: I think you're a troll. Here's your FLACK.

    Not all promises kept, but way more than your typical politician (in 18 mths) ie, Jobs. jobs, jobs, (Obama said you need a magic wand to create jobs, what a moron), GDP over 3%, Unemployment rate less than 4%, redraft trade deals, add Trillions to Retirement funds, ISIS...almost gone (Obama said they were going to be around for generations, what an idiot). Obama was the most lazy president.

    Tripled debt? how so? calculation please?
