Thanks to how public presential correspondence is (usually, but probably not any more) public record, we know what two previous presidents called their penises.
Warren G. Harding called his Jerry LBJ called his Jumbo
Calling your dick by some other dude’s name seems weird. Like naming your dog Michael and not even calling them by any abbreviations.
“Hold on, Michael needs to go outside for a poo”
“Michael, stop cleaning your asshole in front of company”
“Michael, come lick this peanut butter off me”
There’s pull for W with good reason: idiocies done by him were sung & talked about for months & years. Current pedophile-in-chief is such a narcissist (and blithering idiot) that it’s difficult to keep up with the constant barrage of lies & screwups. Let alone keeping the gag or ridicule going for more than a week (day, often).
There’s change that’s due to the internet, corporate lust for click-bait. But…
The Cheetoh-face loves it up. And still wants more attention.
And continually steals unbelievable scripts & stupid works from comedians & theOnion
Just not jimmy carter
I personally thought, no-one could ever top or be worse than W. Then Trump showed up. I no longer think Trump is the bottom, because the Republican voter is getting dumber not smarter as time rolls on.
45 > 47> someone else
Most ridiculed in history? Trump. Any scandal or even conspiracy about other presidents honestly pale in comparison to just 1 single Trump day. Its to the point where we dont even call them scandals anymore, its just another day with Trump in office.
I would say Trump. The problem is, ridiculous come from the Latin for laughable, and fascism is no laughing matter.
Next in line would be Dubya. He was a bit less fascist - although Gitmo detainees probably beg to disagree - but more amusing.
So I vote for Dubya, despite the fascism.
Don’t misunderestimate Dubya. Irregardless of his policies, he coined words and phrases like Shakespeare. How many of use of dreamed of human beings and fish coexisting peacefully? How many of us strive to put food on our families and buy most of our imports from overseas? Don’t we all want to know “is our children learning?” And who can forget that famous Texas proverb “fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.”
Spoken like a true Merkin!
No one else turned our entire population into mindless pussy-wigs…and all with a single phrase!
My kid calls atomic things nukular. Mad shame. I’m a terrible parent.
Mission accomplished!
To be fair, I’ve read that the Texas proverb bit was him cutting himself off mid sentence to prevent a sound bite of him saying “shame on me”. I have no idea of the veracity of the claim but it’s interesting if true.
Likely! Politicians will never say anything negative about themselves because it comes back to haunt them. Also why they never apologize or admit fault.
You can see it in his eyes as he’s about to say it… both the inevitable use on the Daily Show and the desire to strangle his speechwriter.
When I was a kid, I got a talking George Bush doll that said all the lines you mentioned above. It was great.
I’d love to see how it compares to that one president who was stuck in a bathtub. C’mon. How do you NOT ridicule that???
Oh, Taft.
Has to be the current POTUS simply because there are more people with more access to more places to post ridicule. Add to that the whole marketing drive for ‘engagement’ (especially ragebait) and AI, and you end up with a volume of ridicule greater than ever before possible in human history. In the future, perhaps we can get the bots to shout at one another somewhere easy for humans to ignore.
I love how even though your answer is “this one”, it’s not based off of angry emotion with nothing else behind it. You make a logical point where it’s hard to make the argument for any other president. It also means future presidents will probably break the current levels as more efficient technologies emerge.
Notice, the question was NOT “Who’s the most ridiculed POTUS in history by humans?”. There’s a lot of wiggle room for still being correct while also artificially stacking the deck. There’s a little over 8 billion humans on earth. You could create 88 billion bots, and now you’d have the bots united message of ridicule heavily outweigh and thus manipulate the narrative to other real humans.
“President Tom Smith is absolutely HATED by everybody…everyone online is saying it. It must be true.”
And now suddenly a real human has made up their political views, based on one corporate entity shaping the online message. That’s why musk bought twitter. You can claim bluesky and mastodon exist, and they do, but in the mainstream they do not replace twitter. Twitter is still the dominant way for that microblog style communication. bluesky and mastodon combined don’t come near their real numbers of twitter.
But how much of modern day twitter is actual real humans? See where I’m going with this?
The thing with “this one” is he was president for 2 terms, unlike the previous one. The others before him in this millenium were a bit less off the rails, hence less ridicule.
Bots do sway the results towards every current president, but this one is a bit… Specific.
But whatever the next one may be, short of insane choices like Kim K, Elon, Kanye, MTG, etc. The ridicule will be much less than for Trump.
My exact thought. Obama caught hell, but there’s more of us now and more of us engaged, in both politics and social media.
Dubya, fuck him to hell. Also got two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi lmao
In France we had this satirical TV show called Les Guignols de l’Info (the News Puppets) which was really active from 1990 to 2010.
They really liked to make fun of George W. Bush, portraying him as a huge idiot acting childishly, obeying capitalism and obsessed with war.
Here’s a compilation, It’s roughly translated but you can see what it looked like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs5xDkPEpDY
lol, looks like spitting image
Do we even need to debate this?
Herbert Hoover presided over the Great Depression (1929 to 1933). Mass homeless camps were called Hoovervilles. I’m betting he caught flack from everyone.
The president I’m thinking of gets applause when he signs his name to something because people are so relieved he still remembers how.
Can you narrow it down a little?
It’s a coin flip between Reagan and Trump in their second terms.
Biden?
Today I learned that POTUS stands for “President of the United States”, never knew that before.
See also: SCOTUS and FLOTUS. :) Haven’t seen the later in a long time though.
Florida of the United States
Washington
Six foot six, weighs a fucking ton.
It’s 6 foot 8 and he ate opponent’s brains and invented cocaine
He’ll save children, but not the British children.
He’ll save children, but not the British children.
He’ll save children, but not the British children.
Glad someone else remembers this!
Spread, spread Delaware
not even counting Starbucks
I still find it hilarious that about 15 years ago, the WWE introduced a new wrestling character. His name was “Abraham Washington”. A name that, yes, it is a combination of exactly the two names you think it is. So who did they get to play the role of Aberaham Washington? A black guy. He played the role of a TV talk show host, who legitimately got fired, and this is true, for going off script and saying “Titus O’Neil (A wrestler) is like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado - HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” which referenced some 2003 legal issues Kobe had involving a sexual assault case.
Abraham Washington everybody!
