I'm sure we'll be hearing a thoughtful introspective acknowledgement prompted by this information soon and not some all caps 'FAKE NEWS!1!1' proclamation.

So...his approval rating is now worse than his own approval rating? Who was the 2nd worst president?

[–] troybot@midwest.social 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

We can only compare to recent history when modern approval ratings were in practice which would be Nixon. Looking farther back it would probably be James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson.

Franklin Pierce’s incompetence is a factor in the Civil War.

Franklin Pierce and it is no contest

Anyone surprised by this, please raise your right arm up at an angle, palm facing forward.

Worst president in history so far!

The record will probably stand for the next hundred years .... but Americans have a habit of surprising the world with their stupidity.

As far as I know he's not trying to be the worst president of the United states of America but the whole known universe and that's really something special. He gotta be really special to achieve that and that's what he's going to tell to himself and his followers.

How can you drop lower than yourself?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 21 hours ago

I am so late to the party with this one. Nixon lost that title.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And he's got a LONG way to go still. (down)

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, I don't see him gaining approval at any point, so this is his lowest so far.
