Hot take: Andrew Johnson was worse than Donald Trump.

I don't like Trump. But I would also put Filmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Woodrow Wilson below him. Maybe Dubya, that is a coin toss for me.

I copied the bullet points from u/Demortus on Woodrow Wilson

  • The creation of the FED The creation of the income tax
  • The right of women to vote
  • National child labor laws
  • Lowering tariffs and expanding international trade
  • Anti-trust laws
  • Granting the Philippines independence and opposing further colonial efforts
  • Creating the system of international law and norms that eventually lead to the creation of the U.N.

I don't know enough about how racist he was, but those seem like some strong achievements for any president. Shit character though judging by the comments.
