The breaking up of Standard Oil was the worst mistake made by any president in U.S. history.

Joshua Foster
Thomas Nelson
actually the breakup of Ma Bell was even worse (The Bell System)
google it
Andrew Bell
Not even close
Robert Cox
Not so fast
Parker Sullivan
Wilson and LBJ are tied for the worst president of all time.
Caleb Stewart
Except AT&T has already reabsorbed the majority of the Baby Bells, Verizon is the notable exception.
Carter Butler

If Standard Oil wasn't broken up we probably would have had a much longer United States and probably would have relied on 100% renewable energy by 1980. Standard Oil was literally the most amazing company to ever exist and would have easily became a monarchy given enough time.
Elijah Rivera
*much larger United States
Noah Gray
LBJ wouldn’t have been truly possible without Wilson. Wilson is by far the worst president.
Samuel Butler
Obama literally and unironically did nothing wrong.
Christian Lee
Personally? He was a moron who continued Bush era policies. He did, however, have the greatest negative effect in society of all recent presidents.
Maybe we will look back favorably on him as the end of all this commie bullshit.
Isaiah Nguyen
Wilson would have never had the power to set up an LBJ if the US government wasn't monarchized by Roosevelt. Roosevelt showed every future president that the US government could do whatever the fuck it wanted to against the people's best interests.
Juan Torres
I would say FDR is probably the worst president, he's the one that went full on new deal bullshit. What's also sad is that he's considered the best US president.
Cameron Jones
Only among Greatest Generation types, and they're pretty much dead now. Although Republican ones absolutely loathed him. I think as time progresses his ranking as being in the top 3 or 5 will drop.
Jacob Carter
FDR wasn't all too bad, he won us WW2 although his policies contributed to the Great Depression continuance past the market's collapse.
He caused the baby boom but then again created a culture where people expect the government to take care of them. So I think FDR wasn't THE worst. That title can go to Roosevelt, Johnson, or Wilson.
Austin Miller
Yeah FDR ranks pretty low too. He started the expansion of the federal government into everything.
Landon White
>He won us
Don’t you mean the boot on the ground did
Mason Carter
FDR did everything he could to steer us into War, fuck him.
Nathaniel Smith
Sure but he ordered it and his later management of the US government seemed more free market. His early terms were bad but he got better by the third and fourth.
Nicholas Murphy
