Mr. Beat: You should have spent more time talking about how horrible Don the Con Trump was. Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons. #1) Trump committed an act of treason/sedition against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. #2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today. #3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen! #4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause". #5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office. #6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice. #7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia. #8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine. #9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which why Trump hid his tax returns for years. #10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government. #11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president. There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hid his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.

I would argue the Cambodian bombing was worse. Not only did it drag another country into the Vietnam war, killing innocent civilians. But it also lead to the rise of the Khmer Rouge, which enacted the Cambodian genocide killing 20% of the population of Cambodia. That seems much worse to me than a bunch of people being thrown in prison. (Although the war on drugs was extremely bad).

I would go as far to saying that the Americans are the only colonialists that Filipinos are generally enamoured with as we don't really feel this way towards Britain or Spain. Just to add a little note, the reason why the Japanese Imperial Army invaded the Philippines shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in WW2 is that the Philippines is a strategic stronghold of the Americans in South East Asia, as the Americans have built bases in the Philippines used during WW2 and Korean and Vietnam wars. And, of course, a major refueling station as well. In fact, the most considerable largest naval battle of all time happened during WW2 in the Philippines called the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Well when it comes to the first seven Presidents or so, they actually made slavery much harder, like banning it in the Northwest territory, banning the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, etc. But they never went so far as to outright ban it because they thought it would go away on it's own, and banning it outright would just cause unnecessary bloodshed. Obviously they were wrong, and slavery ended up actually becoming bigger in the future, but they had good intentions. Some of them were hypocrites though, owning their own slaves despite being against slavery.

Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons. #1) Trump committed an act of treason against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. #2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today. #3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen! #4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause". #5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office. #6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice. #7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia. #8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine. #9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which why Trump hid his tax returns for years. #10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government. #11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president. There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hid his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.

I haven't watched the video yet, but defanging antitrust and allowing all sorts of corrupt monopolistic mergers, setting that precedent was very easily Reagan's worst move. It's not even close. It has a massive effect on every American to this day and will for very long time. It's arguably almost as bad as Clinton and glass-steagall. And to be quite clear Clinton is the worst president of the last handful. Or more. Easily. And that includes young bush and the current traitorous clown. That's how bad killing glass-steagall was. It very directly precipitated the 2008 Great recession, and it has ongoing horrific effects. Reagan's AIDS response was pretty bad, but it was sort of a trump level covid bad. In a different way though. I think Trump was actually trying to do the right thing he just failed hard trusting fauci and Pfizer & the WHO. He had a lot of company though, everyone but Sweden drastically mismanaged the crisis. Aside from Trump's continuous spew of clinical narcissism, he really wasn't that bad a president for the most part. He didn't make a lot of mistakes besides allowing lockdowns and pushing the Pfizer poison. My theory of presidents these days is that their adequacy or inadequacy is mostly determined by what they don't do. By mistakes they don't make. Biden got in the office and immediately made 10 horrific errors. Errors or purposeful evils I'm not quite sure which. Trump mostly stayed out the economy and energy's way. You can't really expect too much more from a president these days. Sad but true.

Indeed, the military invasion only happened right after he was assassinated. A one-in-a-trillion history changing hero. 2) The US has a lot to blame for Noriega's dictatorship to have ever been in place in the first place. It is no secret that pretty much all dictatorships in Latin America and the Caribbean were either put there or strongly supported by the US, especially after what happened in Cuba and later Nicaragua. Same applies in Panama. They propped up Noriega and have blood in their hands. It is a good thing Just Cause happened but the decades if horror could instead have been avoided.

Obama's biggest mistake was to leave his presidency with records left behind that proved he was apprised of the Russian collusion hoax perpetrated by Hillary Clinton on August 3, 2016. He could have saved himself of being found complicit in the crime if only he would have informed the public of it being a hoax and took steps to insure the FBI would not run with it, but he didn't. He let it become a major political issue. Obama deserves to be charged in the conspiracy to frame Trump with false allegations of Russian collusion, along with Hillary Clinton and several members of the FBI. Oh, Joe Biden was in the room when Obama was apprised of it being a hoax, as was James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan and Loretta Lynch. All deserve to be charged accordingly.

Just to be fair to these gentlemen, the way we judge their terms is completely different than almost any other job. The Presidency has enormous stakes, little margin for error, massive stressors, and a performance review that carries on for centuries. The foresight to anticipate the negative ramifications of their choices is just not possible. I'm not letting them off the hook but let's temper the sweeping condemnation of history they never got to utilize. Deciding whether to hit your annoying coworker is one thing; weighing whether to invade a country to save innocent lives but possibly disrupting geopolitical tensions is very different. Just feel like I had to put this down.

I really enjoyed this video but I have to say that Ronald Reagan's biggest mistake was not retaliating against Iran in 1983 when Iran supported financed the suicide attack on the Marines on October 24th 1983 that led to the death of 241 Marines. A little shadowy group known as Islamic jihad or later on will be changed to Hezbollah Funded by Iran would never be punished. That was one incident that led to Osama bin Laden later saying America was a paper tiger

Regarding your pick for Washington, I agree that it would’ve been noble had he set an example and freed his slaves, but I don’t think it would’ve had the effect on the rest of the country. Most southern farmers, even despite Washington being a unifying figure, likely would’ve disregarded it since their economy still relied on slave labor. Obviously not to defend it, but to put it into perspective. Great video as always, Mr. Beat!!

I think it's easy for many people to mistakenly view Washington as an omnipotent force who could compel anyone around him to agree on the right decision for any issue, even slavery. That's the cost of idolizing him as the "perfect" founding father.

For a while, I thought you were going to say the biggest mistake Taft made as President was getting stuck in that bathtub one time.

Bidens biggest mistake was the close to $4trillion spending act that caused the highest inflation rate in Americas history. While the job rates are indeed low, the cost of everyday things have risen to the point that not even a higher wage that was given helped the spending at all. Not to mention after the wage increases many companies from tech firms to retail giants laid off thousands on top of thousands of employees and even some to the point that businesses are closing down forever. Dollar stores no longer exists, gas prices are at historic all time highs. You ever heard of paying $10 a gallon in certain parts of California? Along with that the money that was supposed to be used for programs never came to be. Look at this year alone. We’re only into the beginning of 2024 and most people didn’t even receive a tax return check this year and those who did get one only got a considerable small amount. And those who got the same income last year are now being forced to pay even more in taxes and even owing money in certain states. It’s unbelievable.

We might need an update on Joe Biden

In defense of Carter, I believe he did all he could do at that time. To quote Edward Grey, who wrote a book about US Presidents, “Although he has been heavily criticized for his handling of the crisis, few were prepared to say what they would have done in his place.”

@@wildfire9280 Indirectly, yes. The airline industry has substantially changed its business model since the deregulation act. During the "Golden Era of Flight" airlines made most of their revenue from the selling of seats... something which sounds like a given. But that drove up the prices for seats on high-demand flights. Oftentimes a passenger would find themselves paying more on a short NYC to DC flight compared to a much longer NYC to Austin flight. Airlines didn't like this model because it meant that long routes were often less profitable. Today, much of airline revenues come from contracts with big banks, credit card companies, car rental companies, Fortune 500 corporations, who pay the airline for the right to issue "rewards" like miles to their customers or employees. Airlines prefer this model, of course, because it guarantees a steady stream of revenue regardless how many actual seats are being sold per flight. The consequence of this is that air travel, a pretty essential service in the 21st century, has been turned into a liability for airlines. They will cut costs on flights anyway imaginable... even if it means selling fewer seats. The airline industry's reaction to the pandemic typified this, when instead of using COVID stimulus money to keep pilots on the payroll through the lockdowns, like the government expected them to do, the airlines instead persuaded many pilots to retire early with very generous packages, and used the rest of the money on executive bonuses, dividends, and stock buy-backs. Now demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels but now the airlines are understaffed!

If slavery wasn't that bad to historical figures, *why* did they have to kidnap Africans and bring them across the Atlantic, just causing more trouble for themselves in the process? There are plenty of records of white American elites being abolitionists in the 18th, even the 17th, century. And just look at Phillis Wheatley and her contemporaries, for example. She was incredibly outspoken about her experience as an enslaved woman in the colonies, and she faced constant harassment from whites who refused her talent and humanity, because they didn't want to acknowledge that she is just like them. They felt guilt.
