    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

    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.

    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.

    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”

    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.

    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.

        then why are you asking this inane circle jerkimg question? the answer is Trump and it’s not even close. and it’s kind of sour to be bringing this shit up while he is disappearing ppls loved ones in the streets daily.

        after trump it’s dubya and after him it’s not even close, doesn’t matter. maybe asking who is third would be an interesting historical question but this just feels rude right now

    Today I learned that POTUS stands for “President of the United States”, never knew that before.
