When Watch Mojo put No New Taxes in the thumbnail and didn't mention how Biden did a complete 180 on his promiss of not taxing the middle and lower class.
@@l-wolverine2211 right? And all the Olympic stuff during Olympic years, and all the Christmas stuff near december....you want this stuff when exactly?
I blame the voters for rewarding such an irresponsible promise! (It's an example of the "rhetoric as policy" tendency that Bush's predecessor Reagan so appallingly epitomized!)
Or you should pay more attention to politics. The only reason he was forced to add taxes was because of his predecessor. Good old Ronnie Reagan. Reagans tax cuts were too big to be sustained. Which is why Ronald is a saint and bush was not. In a nut shell Ronnie set up Bushes failure. people basked in the glory of Ronalds tax cuts and Bush Senior had to pay the bill.
@jeremiasnolasco-uw2lt do u kno what it was like ww2? U may think the usa is in a bad period, but that cuz u watch 2 much drama filled news ch, intended for really old pp with their scare tactics. 😱
@@PatrickJoseph-qd1or You are right but Jackson used these Indian tribes to win the War of 1812 and then turned his back and did the Trail of Tears. Scumbag move if there ever was one but the weird part was that he was a "people's president" and was well loved and adored by hos supporters in a way that MAGA trumps are.
@@colbystearns5238 Bush jr. was maybe in the bottom 5 of all Presidents. He put us nearly a Trillion in debt over an "incorrect" war, which accomplished nothing. His pathetic economic policies gave us the worst Recession in a century, making even Obama look brilliant. Obama's illegal tax on the Working Class that he ironically called the "Affordable Care Act" went on to turn the populace away from his party, opening the door to Trump. And here we are. . .
Honestly, Kennedy not sending in US military support was the right call. I think his action should be seen as heroic. Standing against the military-industrial complex. He was told if he refused to send in the US military that the plan would go ahead anyway, trying to pressure Kennedy into doing what they wanted done.
So that's why the US Government assassinated their own man ...because he wouldn't do what he was told to do? 🤔 Then they put the blame on Lee Harvey Oswald ... guess that's how the US Govt works: Do what WE say when WE say how WE say or else your azz is grass ⚰ ....
That was weird considering it was generally reported that they did send air support but because of a wrong time zone they arrived too late to support or rescue the dying soldier
Actually this is not the fault of Kennedy but the CIA and the Military itself as they were the only one who were involved in the action and activity of the operation, i heard that the CIA director Allen Dulles was actually suffering from mental decline because of his age.
Timing 👏👏👏 heroic and idealistic as a stance like that is…that was not the moment to pull a “stand against the military industrial complex” position. By refusing to send the military…the operation ended in embarrassment and emboldened Castro…who eventually had no problem bringing in Soviet missiles when the standoff over missile deployments kicked off a year later. Optimism < consequences (Similarly…Truman’s doctrine of containment at all costs was a strong position but essentially forced the Cold War into fruition for 50 years)
"Nope. I'm an American, and even knowing this shit already, I still felt quiet shamed. I further began feeling the unsettling certainty of disgust as bile began rising in my gorge."
I like how the list is like "Immigrants were blamed for the great depression and deported illegally and a lot of them were actually US citizens" and the comments are like "biased"
The pull out of Afghanistan was wayyyyy more embarrassing than some of the things on this list. The fact that there was not one Biden clip on here kinda tells the story

20 embarrassing us pres moments and not a single Biden mention, and you specifically uploaded the day after the debate. In the words of Heath Ledger’s Joker: Did your balls drop off?
Well, not every viewer of this channel is an American. And for many of those, things in this video may be new and interesting. I can tell, even though I am not American, I still knew most of those, but not all. Especially things related to earlier US presidents were surprising to me. The whiskey tax most of them, I have to admit. BTW, would you know all the scandals of British kings and queens? I've bet you wouldn't, right?
Not if the teachers didn’t have money in the budget to cover this stuff because the school district thought Football was more important even though they have a shitty Football program & not one student has ever been to high level College Football and/or Pro Football.
Andrew Jackson It's appalling what happened to the Native people of this country They are owed soooooooo much It needs to be recognized and dealt with. Shame on the forefathers for their atrocities to humans
That's what happens being wrapped up in religious ferver and greed... I think I learned in school they blamed everything on a mandate from God to expand the country from ocean to ocean. Edit: I remember now "Manifest Destiny."
Don't coddle my people, it's because of liberals and Democrats a lot of my people would rather be drunk unemployed beggars blaming all their problems on people who haven't been alive for 200 years.....we need Marxism out of this country if you really want to help Natives like me
Why did America fight the Vietnam war? The Vietnam war lasted 10 years and cost America 58,000 lives and over a trillion dollars(adjusted for inflation). It brought out a President, stirred social unrest, and ended in defeat. No one in hindsight believes fighting a losing war is ever worth the cost. Consequently the Vietnam War is usually written off as a colossal strategic blunder and a humanitarian disaster. Yet historical appraisals might have been much different had the Vietnam war followed the pattern of the Korean War(1950-1953), which the United States fought for almost identical reasons: the defense of freedom in Asia. The US had military advisors in Vietnam during the 1950s but didn’t become involved in a major way until 1963. President JFK firmly believed in the domino effect. The foreign policy theory that vulnerable nations without help would fall, one after another, like dominoes, to external communist aggression. JFK thus hoped to stop Soviet and Chinese backed communist invasions in a manner of President Harry S. Truman had in Korea by taking a stand in Vietnam. As with Korea, it was a war the United States did not seek, as with Korea, Vietnam presented no “imperial” advantages, no natural resources of any kind that the United States needed to protect or wish to obtain. As with Korea the aggressor was a communist government in the north intent on taking control of the south. And it’s military cross and internationally recognized in order to do so. Following JFK’s assassination in November of 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson vastly escalated America’s role in 1964. But even as he did so Johnson prosecuted the war with deep ambivalence. Authorizing significantly more troops and money for the war but never pushing for total victory. In contrast the north Vietnamese never wavered. They ignored every one of Johnson’s many offers to negotiate a settlement. By 1971, the war was at a stalemate. Neither side able to establish a clear advantage. The President Richard Nixon pursued a two prong strategy. To turn over combat operations to the south Vietnamese and to bomb north Vietnam. The effort brought the communist to Paris Peace Talks and by 1973 the North agreed to a general settlement. Establishing two autonomous Vietnamese nations. One communist, one non-communist in the manner of North and South Korea. However the watergate scandal, the subsequent resignation of President Nixon, and the democrats sweeping congressional victory in the 1974 midterm election, all helped to convince the North Vietnamese that America would not enforce the peace agreement. They were right. Without US air support and material aid the South Vietnamese had no chance against the North. Well supplied by the Soviet Union, the Chinese, the communist gained full control of the country in April 1975. The war proved far more costly than Korea because the geography and landscapes of Vietnam were far more conducive during operation. There were also far more restrictions placed on American commanders and during the Korean War. The United States in the 1960s was a far less conservative and cohesive country than America in the 1950s. Yet despite the long ordeal and terrible cost, South Vietnam was saved in 1973 only to be lost in 1975. The US defeat in Vietnam was a POLITICAL choice. Not a military necessity. Had the US protected an independent but vulnerable South Vietnam in 1973 and 1974, that country would have most likely followed the model of South Korea. Millions of southeast Asians would not have become Boat people, and refugees, or been sent to the gulags and re-education camps. A viable US backed democratic Vietnam would have stabilized the region and almost certainly prevented the neighboring Cambodian genocide in which one-fifth of that country, 2 million people were slaughtered by its communist leadership. And much of the bitterness over the war on both sides of the American political spectrum still with us today would have vanished. And for the communist Vietnamese, the instigators and aggressors of the terrible conflict, what was it all for? Today ironically the Vietnamese government aspires to nothing more than the capitalist affluence. That it once reviled.
The comments here are pretty funny. Of all the egregious acts former 🇺🇸 presidents have committed, some are comparing a dismal debate to the Trail of Tears or the internment of Japanese heritage Americans. Please, can we all agree that stepping on your fellow countrymen is far worse than stepping on your own tongue?
I agree. He really *was* a very ineffective and shortsighted president, but I don’t see why he always secures the #1 spot as Worst President Ever. I think Andrew Johnson was really the worst one we ever had (prior to 2016), but I also think Warren Harding and Franklin Pierce lay some claim to the title as well. So we’ve already got four candidates for whom you could make a good argument that they were the worst. So I don’t see why Buchanan *always* gets selected as the #1 Worst Ever. But that’s only the worst ever prior to 2016, anyway. It is indisputable that Donald Trump was the worst President in all of American history. I don’t think James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson ever led any violent insurrections into the Capitol Building - you get my drift?
@@matthewgliatto7339 Woodrow Wilson is also a good pick for worst POTUS ever. And JB now. Oh missed the end. Dems led insurrection into the Capitol. DT told them to peacefully protest, and to go home when things turned violent. More than dems did during the summer of "love" and the BLM assault on the White House.
Actually, Jimmy Carter SUCCESSFULLY negotiated the release of the hostages. Then Reagan (who was still a candidate) called it off and told the Iranians that if they would hold off until after the election, he would promise them weapons!!! So, Reagan had Americans held captive for his own political gain. Reagan took the credit and the White House and later was embroiled in the Iran Contra scandal‼️
@@PhinneusPrune Lol, Trump is a convicted sex offender, fraud, and election cheat, who openly claims he'll overturn democracy. And you'll vote for him anyways. Pathetic.
@@PhinneusPrune And if you answered Trump ... LOL Fascinating to watch the US struggle with far-right fascism. But we shouldn't be surprised, given how it's the cult capital of the world.
I dont remember any of these issues being taught in school. I just remember "the US is the greatest nation....". What was done to the Indigenous people is something we (the USA) criticize other countries for doing acting like we are so righteous. We need to own this truth and not repeat it.
@@Meatloaf1973 Right, because clearly to you, Trump can never do anything wrong, he's clearly above the law. Is that a seal of approval of everything he's been accused of?
anything that guy says should be on this list of all 20 plus the words that come out of his mouth is scary enough also I don't think he can count passed 5.
Afghanistan was gonna play out like that regardless whom ever was in office, like South Vietnam. You can’t build a nation that’s not really a nation (Afghanistan was built as a division between British India and Czar Russia).
Way to minimize the impact of this list by including Trump's indictment, anybody that has looked at -any- of that knows it was banana republic level stuff.
The problem with the Trump conviction on this list is its irrelevance. All the other 19 of the entries occurred while a president was in office. For Trump, it was a personal matter he was thrown into by scumbags. He hadn't been president for 3 and 1/2 years.
It is impossible to be a regular watcher of watch MOJO and not see their anti conservative slant. See how often they talk about Christian actors ruining their careers for their beliefs.
Stuff like this is why you shouldn’t take the phrase “run the government how the founders intended” because even they were flawed in how they executed the laws and constitution. Often times and eventually needing correction later down the line
A lot of the "corrections" have been terrible. Like the federal income tax and The FED. Increased federal control of local and state governments on a minutia level. The welfare state. FDR's New Deal. Let alone the socialism today's dems are pushing, even though they've already failed in other countries.
@@Zetirix hell yea brother/sister 😎 I’m NOT saying teddy is perfect 😐but he is the reason we have the protection of natural parks and the pure food and drug act 😐and teddy is he only president I can think of that actually took action to protect the environment it’s no wonder why people loved him 😅as I think he was elected 4 or 5 times until congress forced new presidents to only be elected 2 terms😐 I would not be surprised if trump were to destroy everything the other presidents built for 😐trump for slavery trump against gay and disability people trump against the environment if trump could genoside people I bet he would 😑
@@susannpatton2893 If you're still voting for Biden after that fiasco, then you'd vote for a houseplant if it was running against Trump. You don't care who runs the Country as long as it's not the guy you hate. That's WHY they call it Trump Derangement Syndrome.
My grandmothers basically she was a maid was a Japanese woman named Masako Ichikwa. During World War II she was taken to one of those camps. My family did everything they could for her at the time. I’m pretty sure they got her out and sent her back to japan where she would be safe. I could be wrong as my grandmother was very young at the time when this happened and was told later on by her parents. I hope this woman lived a happy life as my grandmother talk very fondly about her. She didn’t remember much about her other than when she went to see her at the camps she would cry asking Masako when she was coming back home to them.
I know right biden's performance last night was arguably one of the worst in history Trump destroyed him the only people that will disagree are the people that still claim he's racist even though African Americans if you actually look it up have literally said they want to vote Trump and it's funny how it's only the white people claiming he's racist and not the other way around
They could have just shown Biden's performance from last night's debate, with him standing as if he were dead 😩😩, and this video would have gone on for a whole hour.
@@iaatg6296 what failures? A strong border? A better economy? Damn near stagnant inflation? This Native American made less money under Trump and still had more to spend.... Biden has been failing for four years straight, not just for one night. And this also coming from someone who wanted to vote for Bernie in 2016 but Democrats rigged the primaries for Hillary, and that's not even a conspiracy theory they literally admitted to doing it.
Japanese citizens kept captive in the US came out weighing more than when they went in 😂 US citizens held in Japan either died or came out looking like a skeleton 😐
@@General_MacArthur so tried to overthrow the government isn’t as bad as trying to get the police to treat everyone the same and try to get them to kill unarmed people as they arrested them, or racial profiling. And BLM movement happens during trump term so blame him too
Grover Cleveland handled the scandal very well, publicly admitted to many newspapers that it was a sad but true reality, though he gave the child's mother a livable income and visited the child regularly
So this list is immediately invalid as it doesn’t include any Biden “highlights”. Seriously, that guy could fill a top 20 on his own, yet he’s completely left off…hmm, wonder why
I like that some of the choices on here are actually presidents who did a good job. Was not expecting to see George Washington who is revered as one of the greatest of all time
So how would YOU have handled it? (Back in 1829 Iranian extremists seized the Russian embassy and took the staff hostage, but those hostages ended up dead!)
@@TheAeroAvatar It’s not true that falsification is a felony it’s a misdemeanor they concocted it into a felony by saying it was in concealing another crime including unlawful means it was even known in the DA’s office as the “Zombie Case”. Of course the unlawful means were not ever specified to one and one of the options presented right before closing arguments was federal campaign crimes the federal prosecutors refused to prosecute and the judge refused to let an expert witness testify that the payments were not campaign related under federal law. Biden is the most embarrassing president his own party is calling for him to drop out the race
@@_mark_3814 You still expect me to believe Trump is a fucking victim in any sense? I don't give a rat's ass about your opinion of Biden. The only bigger embarrassment to this country than the bastard Trump is the people who let him in.
Here's what's embarrassing, there were no moderators in last night's debate. (The people who were supposed to fact check everything and keep the candidates on track of the questions.) The whole night was just a he said/she said because of the lack of moderators.
