Is Trump the most hated president in U.S. history?

[Badger]

Probably not. Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Nixon shortly prior to resignation, all had lower approval ratings, at least arguably so for the first two.

If we talk about average approval rating rather than looking for particular low points during their Administration, Trump has to rank up there with Johnson, Buchanan, and Pierce.

Lincoln and A. Johnson were hated more.

Only if one wrongly includes white Southerners who probably declare themselves not to be part of the USA anymore, but simultaneously excludes African American slaves throughout those States whom I'm pretty sure had a rather high opinion of Uncle Abe.

In modern history- Bush was easily , as he was hated universally more by the democrats (trump still does well among blue collar Dems) and even hated more by the left (just look at DU threads from 2003-2008 or tyt from 2006-2008) .

Yeah. The antiwar left hated Bush with a vicious paranoia far beyond anything Resistance Twitter has come up with yet. Perhaps that will have changed after a few years, we'll see.

Paranoia implies they weren't actually out to do you harm.

Sure. But I'm talking about the widespread conspiracy theories on the left during the mid 00s that Bush did 9/11 to start a war in Iraq for the oil and funnel the profits to Haliburton. I also remember the constant rumours from 05-07 that Bush about to bomb Iran etc..

Plus internationally, I'm pretty sure nothing Trump can do will create anything equivalent to the wave of anti-Americanism that the invasion of Iraq unleashed across the globe.

First, while the goal wasn't necessarily two funnel profits to Haliburton - - that was just a happy coincidence Dash Dash the war wouldn't have been started if the same matters occurred in a non oral Rich region like South Sudan.

Secondly, I wish that were the case, but frankly the only thing stopping him from making a horrible horrible decision internationally is being distracted by domestic concerns and investigations plus the lack of a spark to give his bad need your decision making an opportunity to f*** things up.
