The coward didn't even include Reagan. Too many Republicans worship Reagan, and his fragile ego doesn't let him share the number one spot.

    Because it’s an edit of a page from a magazine from the 40’s. Wilson is the most recent president listed, except for Obama, Biden, Clinton, and Carter, whom Trump added with AI. He doesn’t know who the fuck these people are. He even forgot he was praising McKinley as the greatest president of all time just last year, and left him in the β€œaverage” tier here.

    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?

    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.

    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

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

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

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

    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 β€œGreat” category I’m sure, based on how his mind works. β€œThis guy cheated and lied, one of my own and someone I can relate to!”

    He used tariffs, so he can't go too low on this list. Don't worry about the correlation between tariffs and the great depression citizen, big brother does the thinking for you so you can focus on sports and your two minutes hate

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My first thought, too.

    Ulysses S. Grant a failure? Ooooh, I just looked, it's because he was seen as defeating the KKK by use of the Force acts of the Reconstruction amendments. Ok, well that checks out.

    Some Groyper probably had Grok make this and of course dingus retweets it.

    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.

    its funny how "positive" he spoke of him compared to others, republicans and thier voters. and barely did a pushback when clinton was associated with epstein, likely knowing that dragging clinton through the dirt will bring to much attention upon himself. hillary all bets are off.

    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.

  • source

  • [–] 4 points 2 months ago

    Yeah, I thought MAGA hated FDR.

    Though I'm sure zero thought was given to this an it was generated by a prompt that only mentioned Trump should be at the top, and Biden, Obama, and Carter should be at the bottom.

    Interesting they didn't tell the AI to also put Clinton at the bottom. Guess Trump still has a soft spot for Clinton out of nostalgia for when they hung out together at Epstein's house.

    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

    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.

    People get their policy positions from their leaders, to a point.

    It the leader says FDR is good, wwii, putting America to work, etc, then the base will believe those things.

    It only doesn't work when you push too far, like when Trump briefly tried to promote the COVID vaccine.

    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?

    One president used federal funds to deface a mountain by having a giant, 60 ft tall sculpture of his own face carved into it, right next to the faces of the presidents widely considered to be the greatest. That's pretty much the energy of this post.
