Wow, he really does love Clinton. That's so weird.

What a stupid time to be living. Fucking hell.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not an exaggeration to say we are all forcibly being made dumber by Trump, because we are wasting finite energy and attention that we should be using for self-improvement and instead are spending those resources on keeping track of the sociopathic imbecile with the nuclear codes. It's exhausting.

No Reagan, Bush Sr., or Bush Jr.? And no Nixon?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm a bit surprised he didn't include Reagan. A lot of conservative boomers think the sun shone out of Reagan's ass. I know most of them are now fully in the Cult of Trump. But Ronnie's exclusive still seems like an unnecessarily risky move.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago

Though if they included Reagan then people would be comparing Reagan's policies with trump's policies and seeing how different they are.

And yet if they did include Reagan they would have to put him high up. Awkward.

You believe he actually thought about this? He asked a random AI to do it and never checked it at all. Maybe to see where Obama ended up

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are no modern republicans on it and that’s not by chance.

He left out every Republican president from the past 70 years, no Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, HW Bush, or W Bush

He was alive for all of them. My bet is any ranking of them on this list would cause controversy among his base, because many of them are revered by some and reviled by many

Putting Grant at the bottom is always a dog whistle. It's lost cause propaganda. Straight up KKK shit.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dog whistles are so 2015, the last decade has been just plain whistles. And the occasional boat horn

Where do Nixon and Reagan fit in this

[–] Fuckswearwords@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The greatest going by this scale

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Bro made a president tier list and put Jackson in A tier. Wild self-report there.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Jackson in the top tier, Grant in the bottom tier, and Buchanan not in the bottom tier. Just say you got this list straight from the grand wizard of the KKK. Cuz that's obviously where it came from.

Leaving Nixon out because the optics of having him the “Great” category I’m sure, based on how his mind works. “This guy cheated and lied, one of my own and someone I can relate to!”

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They left out Eisenhower. Probably because even though he was republican he advocated for social programs. Can’t put him in the winners section because commie, can’t put him in the losers section because republican.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

There are only 34 presidents in this list. 11 are missing entirely, notably including Eisenhower, Truman, both Bushes, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, LBJ, and Kennedy. Like... big relevant names including very notable Republicans. 9 of the last 14 from the last 81 years missing. Are they stupid or strategically leaving them out of the comparison with Trump and others becuase it is politically tricky due to their recentcy but not so recent as to be part of the culture wars? The only 4 in there besides himself were Obama, Biden, Carter and Clinton. All democrats that were alive during his presidency. Not a coincidence, I'm sure.

Also, the idea that trump knows a damn thing about most of these presidents, let alone enough to reasonable compare them and judge their overall effectiveness and legacy is laughable.

Of the quite relevant ones, Dementia Diapers Dodo casually forgot Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush Jr.

Edit: oh, and Ford.

FDR in the great tier is the second dumbest thing on there.

If his proposals where in the table the republicans would have a collective meltdown.

Boomers should never have gotten access to social media.

[–] tangosox@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

No one should have gotten access to social media. It amplifies all of our own worst qualities.

Even ignoring the top spot, this is a really weird list. I feel like he just asked an AI to make a meme that makes him look like the chad and Obama/Biden look like the soyjack.

Besides trump himself, he thinks Andrew Jackson was a great president? Jackson was a racist. Indian removal act, trail of tears, slave owner and slavery supporter. He was a walking human failure.

FDR was screamed at in his own time for imposing "socialism" in the form of the New Deal - including the Social Security system, which MAGA is bent on eradicating.

How much of a narcacist do you need to be to post something like this lol.

I propose a new word, trumpist, which is a step above narcissism

If other people say you’re really cool, you’re probably really cool. If you constantly have to tell everyone that you are cool, you’re a pathetic fucking loser.

When he had an AI generate it, he probably specified where Carter, Obama, and Biden went, and let the AI do the rest. Everyone always ranks FDR highly because progressive policies are super effective, so that's what the AI did.

I think it is funny how bitter he is about Biden and Obama because Biden won an election and Obama is praised. Carter got dealt a crappy hand.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

kinda shocked he holds Lincoln in that mush esteem

[–] expr@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago

I'm more shocked about FDR.

I have to wonder what other previous presidents that were considered crappy might have done with social media. Would any of them be anywhere near this absurd?
