His behaviour sure doesn’t help.
Dumbest - yes Most incompetent - yes Most corrupt - yes Most criminal - yes Most hated? - not yet
Because of the fucking cult base he’s created, whose loyalty is reinforced by faux news, and do not question anything he says.
You’re underselling P2025’s effects.
i hope the citizens who voted for him are the most hated too. kind of like how people looked at german people after hitler was allowed to happen on their watch.
(Insert that thing from The Simpsons)
No, the most hated US president so far.
He will be the most hated american president SO FAR. I believe in americans, they can do worse.
Remember, George Bush Jr was so hated that Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize simply for not being George Bush Jr.
The only thing scarier than Trump is someone of equal character but actually competent. I wanted to write ten times as competent at first, but then realized that wouldn’t change anything.
We can and certainly will.
This was my reaction. I read the question and thought “Optimistic much?”
It’s hard to remember how much we hated Bush II back in the day. The fact that he is now just lumped in with the other surviving presidents today for me is the real demonstration of just how much worse Trump is.
Trump is the product of a Bush family conspiracy to rehabilitate Dubya’s image.
Man, its wild how much i miss conservatives of yesteryear.
During Trump I, I maintained that Bush Jr. was far worse due to the deaths and destabilization from invasions, Guantanamo, mass surveillance, unauthorized drone strikes, and on and on.
Not halfway through Trump II, he has definitely far surpassed Bush Jr. 😭
Bush II should have swung besides Saddam, but trump has dashed any hopes I have for holding GWB accountable for pissing away the future of the middle class to murder the shit out of people on the other side of the world.
I think Bush was bad but a lot of the bad stuff he did was somewhat reversible (ICE existed , plus it’s not his fault that ICE is now used as a papers-please. There was PATRIOT but we reversed it so it’s actually a great example of what I mean.) and relatively short-term. Reagan, meanwhile, made a giant hole in our infrastructure that is still ingrained within everything today.
Bt ICE was literally created by the Bush admin align with the rest of the DHS, and the Patriot Act wasn’t reversed so much as disseminated into earmarks attached to various spending bills so it’s actually even harder to get those freedoms back. Even our current immigration system is descended from Bush era policy, including the fucking wall.
Lmfao, are you fucking kidding?
Do you not remember the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? The constant bombing of the middle east and the trillions of dollars wasted over decades?
To me there’s no comparison. Bush Jr. is responsible for a million Iraqi civilian deaths. As much as people wish it were so, Trump doesn’t hold a candle to that (yet).
Sure, but the question was, who is more hated? I do not think that globally at the moment the population thinks about, let alone actively hates, Bush Jr these days.
Yes Trump has his core base, but man, it really feels like if you don’t love him, you hate him.
I remember flying into Midland Texas during Trump’s first term and seeing a poster of Bush II with the caption “Bet you miss me now!”
Or it is proof that over time you start forgetting how bad it was and it will unfortunately be the same with Trump.
It’s hard to keep perspective over the decades. I was more passionate back then, and he really did some horrible things, but I don’t remember feeling like he was so, I don’t know, disgusting of a human being as Trump.
Time will tell I guess
Even though it’s a highly contested competition, I think he might have a shot at the most hated person of the century.
Easily without a doubt. He has the lowest approval rating of any president before he stopped them from tracking it.
Most hated president? He’s on my list of most hated humans.
He does fit, but remember: He’s just the symptom and if the Republicans wanted too, Trump would be gone in 24h. There are just many evil people who keep Trump were he is while pushing him one way or the other to get what they want.
Trump has been an awful human being long before he became president, so no sympathy needed, but what is being done to him is elder abuse.
Trump is among the worst humans in history.
like mad Roman emperor level.
Raped children, casually murdered 150 school girls, Hitler style Gestapo and concentration camps, unmatched level of corruption…
like worst human in history, the question is maybe if he’s worse than Hitler, not Bush
He has yet to reign over the deaths of millions of people for being in the out-group.
Don’t misunderstand me, Trump is a walking bag of syphilitic, pus filled, nazi cumsocks. But he’s not attained quite the level of warcrimes Hitler did. Not yet anyway.
How many have died because of DOGE’s reckless cuts?
He’s a solid #2
How many died through covid because his incompetence?
Lmfao, honestly, this thread is making me realize that Trump has a point when he talks about Trump derangement syndrome.
Multiple comments now have compared him to Hitler, which makes you either ignorant of present day reality or grossly ignorant of history.
Like honestly, “casually murdered 150 schoolgirls”. Do you know how many fucking innocent civilians Bush got killed in Afghanistan and Iraq?? It’s more than 150.
Sure buddy. The thing is that Trumps’ death toll is just getting started and it’s going to be a big one.
Yes, but bush did not go to Esptein, or steal billions. He was bad, but it is a different leage of bad. He is responsible for over a million US exes during COVID. over 1.2% of Americans did not survive his first administration and died directly due to his ego.
I think he’s the most hated living person in the history of the world, if you go by number of people who hate him. There were less than half as many people around when Hitler was alive.
Yep, at least the most hated since polling, and definitely the most hated in living memory
He’s not the reason why the civilised world sneers at 'Murica, but he’s a huge symptom of it
I never thought I’d see the day when we look back at Reagan and the Bushes as the less-shit of the modern presidents of that backwards shit hole country
He’s not the reason why the civilised world sneers at 'Murica, but he’s a huge symptom of it
As a Canadian, I used to sneer at the US like one would sneer at an immature sibling.
Now, “Made in the USA” feels dirty. I don’t feel like the USA can recover its place of former global respect in my lifetime.
From inside, “Made in the USA” feels like it’s going to be us chained to paying 2x the cost for wildly inferior products. See for example, cars.
Oh, we didn’t deserve that respect in the first place.
I hate trump as much as the next guy, but “backwards shithole?” Don’t cut yourself on that edge, boss.
I spend quite a bit of time in 'Murica, because I have to
It’s backwards, and a shit hole
I’m not saying it like all the people who have never been there, or only been to a couple of places
If we survive Trump. We will be weaker in so many ways. The institutions that underpin our democracy have been severely damaged. I also expect a severe economic downturn over the next few years.
I worry that the next Republican President will be younger more calculating and energetic. They will look at the Trump era as a blueprint for taking permanent political control of an already damaged system.
There is a blueprint the heritage foundations project 2025 is over halfway implemented
I believe that the best years of our country are behind us. The erosion of the ethical values of those serving in public office the ‘acceptance of daylight corruption,’ betrayal of our allies, and the attack on education, intellectualism, and renewable energy will set us back for a long time.
Whoever comes next will be blamed for the state of the economy and the government.
There’s just one sliver of hope: When Trump keels over the Republicans will tear each other qpart like cats in a bag. That’s your opportunity. You have to get the right people in, you (the “left of MAGA”, basically normies) will win an easy landslide just that one time…
I’m British and this is what happened here - the right briefly in disaray allowed our centre-left party to win big. Just once…
The Uncle Rupert propaganda machine.
Max out the Conservative “good” stories and the Labour “bad” stories.
One thing I am certain of:
The next Republican president will be worse.
I can’t or won’t even begin to imagine how that could be possible.
Trump is evil and stupid, someone worse would be evil and smart, and there’s plenty of those around.
I wish this wasn’t true, but I’m almost certain it will be.
Trump 2 for sure is undisputedly the worst.
He is consistently ranked the worst president
Yeah, that’s why historians examine things through hindsight and evidence not flash polls on CNN designed to get headlines.
I wouldn’t describe the American Political Science Association as a flash poll on CNN.
Hated by who?
As a person, he is absolutely vile and disgusting. For one thing, he raped children and recently killed ~160 school girls. He combines the crookedness of Nixon, the dementia of Reagan, the genius of W and the child molesting of Clinton into one person.
From the perspective of a citizen of a EU country that has blindly followed the US for several decades, I'd like to add one more thing. He is the first president who put a dent in the alliance between the US and Europe and who is really not our friend. He threatened Denmark and Greenland, puts random tariffs on EU products out of spite and worst of all, he appears to be a tool of Vladimir Putin, who has invaded a EU member.
I do not think that 'hate' covers what I feel about this absolute piece of human garbage, but he is definitely one of the worst persons currently alive.
Ukraine isn’t an EU member. It’s still a european country though and borders the EU
You are correct.
genius of W
Is that meant to be ironic? 😅
My thoughts as well.
W certainly wasn’t a genius. He had incredible PR people and was lucky people didn’t blame him for being asleep at the wheel during one of the most pivotal events in American History, which he then exploited to put us on our current speedrun to fascism.
I’m not so sure there won’t be someone worse.
Dr Evil is from Belgium, and therefore not eligible to become president. Also he’s much more likeable.
Did you know his father invented the question mark?
Yes. His acceptance ratings are lowest in the history and I don’s see how that could change over time.
Didn’t Bush jr get to like 9%?
19%
That was only amongst Democrats.
His lowest was 28% overall.
You can pick any president in history and find skeletons in their closets, and many have committed atrocities that far exceed any one thing that Trump has done, but Trump is actively dismantling the republic before our eyes and he will be remembered as in incompetent buffoon and his rise to power and his contributions to the end of American global hegemony will be studied by sociologists, historians and political scientists for ages to come.
And in 100 years time, when they teach about this period of time in schools, all the kids will be able to think is “How could anybody just let that happen?”, yeah, it makes me irrationally upset about being lumped in with the people who abide by this farcical nonsense, or worse, with those who are actively participating in knowingly doing as much harm as possible.
To say I hate him is an understatement. I’m going to frame his obituary.

There is good reason to believe he ran a snuff ring and raped and killed children. He’s Caligula of American Presidents.
No argument here. He’s absolutely my number one most hated for that reason and many more. But it would be hypocritical of me to say that Trump is the only one guilty of bad behavior. He’s simply the first to be so publicly unapologetic about it.
His gutting of public services is going to and has already, killed millions. Why do people forget about that? He has done some heinous shit.
Yes.
I think W Bush painted the world black and white when there is nuance. You’re either with us against us. Started two very unpopular wars and dragged Nato members in. Caused mass immigration to Europe from leading to the raise of people like Bannon, Trump and Farage. The entire far right really. For me, Bush was the catalyst that led us to where we are right now and is the worse president. But even I think I am wrong cause my memory doesn’t go back much further.
And worse of all. Bush didn’t even win. Roger Stone literally stormed the recount, Bushes brother shut the count down and the supreme court went cool, cool, cool. Been hating ever since the shocking lack of democracy in America. And the fact that some anti abortion Gun nut in some swing state determines how many of my friends will die in wars, how much petrol will cost and how much food will cost due to sheer greed of the owner class in America.
So for me. Bush 2. Trump just let the world see the corruption in day light where the others kept it in the dark.
There’s no fucking way Bush is worse than Trump. It’s not even close.
No child left behind leading to a nation without critical thinking. Guantanamo bay. Imprison who the fuck you want without consequence. Making it law to invade the ICC if any American soldier is ever held to accountability. Crashing the entire global economy by relaxing laws on banks and investors. I mean Bush was pretty awful. Trump is just dumb as bricks walking in the same path set by Bush.
its not a contest and its pointless to think otherwise
I say people like Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes seeded the culture that led to the modern right wing.
Amongst the general public, maybe.
Amongst scholars and experts, definitely.
I’d argue that he’s worse than Hitler. Hitler seemed to at least love his idea of Germany. Trump cares only about himself. He’s not above any of Hitler’s brand of crimes, the chance to profit off of them has just not introduced itself fully yet.
You can go anywhere on Earth and say “I can’t wait to read that obituary” in the local language, and people will know who you’re talking about. We haven’t had that since Hitler
I don’t know about domestically, but if you look at him at an international level, he’s a slam dunk for that title.
I mean it is possible that future Presidents will be more evil shrug-outta-hecks
Yes.
Donald’s favorability polling is even lower than Jimmy Carter, which definitely sets him among the most hated presidents. People in 2024 voted for two things: Immigration reform and affordability. Donald has done neither. He allowed ICE to act as Gestapo, running around masked in unmarked cars chasing down and violently assaulting fifth graders, which pissed off a significant number of his own voters who did not vote for that. It doesn’t help that he started a war with Iran after explicitly promising no more forever wars, and that war has made the cost of living significantly worse for all Americans.
Republicans in generally are polling around 15% lower in approval than Democrats. That’s rig-proof territory if it holds until November. Republican voters won’t switch parties, but they’ll stay home or opt not to miss a badly-needed day’s pay in order to vote for a president who made them poorer, as we saw Democrats do with Biden/Harris in 2024.

If we can get out of this somehow… Yes. He will live in infamy
If we don’t and become like China where one party rules, then no. All history books will be forced to praise him to say he was / is the best president there ever was and Don Jr is doing a fantastic job as current president. Anything less than this will be considered unamerican which will be grounds for losing citizenship
