I uploaded this a second time since the first time I did, it was age-restricted. So far this one is not...for some reason...but we shall see. Anyway, I'm telling you this because age-restricted videos are not monetized and are often not promoted by algorithms, which is why your support is extremely valuable. People assume I make ad revenue for every video, but often I do not. 

So again, thank you for your continued support.

Also, this one is nearly 40 minutes long and is guaranteed to offend everyone. The comment section will be a delicious dumpster fire. :)

No one is perfect. This is why everyone should be canceled. Anyway, American Presidents are not immune to this. This video is about the greatest mistake of every American president while they were in office. They’re worst failure, their biggest oopsie. You get it. When I say “greatest mistake,” I mean the one thing they did that hurt the most people. And when I say “thing they did that hurt the most people,” I say it with my historian hat on, looking at all of American history.

George Washington’s biggest mistake was not becoming a King ☹️

Adam Christians

I still think Watergate is worse. It sparked a ton more skepticism and distain to the government. Giving almost no benefit to the doubt of issues in the U.S. or U.S. involvement around the world.

Matt Beat

I get that, but part of the effect of Watergate was MORE transparency of government afterward. And you know me, I'm always biased on this because I think we should always be skeptical of our own government. :)

Naterade

Was Obama’s biggest mistake wearing a tan suit? Thanks Obama!

Paddy Mac

I was wondering which mistake you'd choose from for Andrew Johnson and Wilson. So many options!

Chris Ranker

Could you expand upon why you think Biden’s vaccine mandate for large businesses is his worst?

Rick Roll

This is the video I wanted!

annonymous

I like your stuff. But stop lying about trump and the 2020 election. There was fraud and we should be looking into it.

Matt Beat

I did look into it. I'm not lying. Looks like you got duped as well. It's ok. I've been duped many times before.

I tend to give JFK a bit of a break on the Bay of Pigs. A lot more blame should go to Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell, and Eisenhower (who not only approved of the plan but encouraged a recalcitrant Kennedy to pursue it when the two men met on Ike's last day in office). But then again, I'm not sure I can think of a better candidate for a Kennedy mistake. Overall, excellent and ambitious video! I like that you were even-handed with criticizing the modern presidents. Also, seeing 'HITLER'S LOVE LIFE REVEALED' staring back at me from the middle of the screen at 14:20 took me slightly out of the seriousness of the topic you were discussing lol.

Matt Beat

Oh I blame Dulles more than anyone! And I'm biased, I know, but from what I understand it was Dulles who convinced Ike in the first place. Dulles died in '59 and perhaps Ike felt obligated to follow through with it in honor of him. Anyway, yeah that poster definitely stands out in the classic picture. 😏

Jack L

That was John Foster Dulles who died in '59. Allen Dulles was still head of the CIA during the Bay of Pigs (the fiasco of it is what made Kennedy fire him), though by that time he was old and relegated most of the work to vassals like Bissell. But yeah, the main finger of blame should be pointed at the CIA. 'The Brothers' by Stephen Kinzer is a good book all about the dastardly machinations of the Dulles brothers.

Devin Canada

im surprised you didnt pick the patriot act for Bush. or weaponizing the IRS and bugging reporters for Obama.

Alex Gorell

I think the biggest mistake Ford did was pardoning Nixon. I can’t help but wonder if Nixon got indicted and prosecuted for his actions regarding watergate, maybe future president wouldn’t have been so cavalier with breaking the law. Maybe Iran Contra wouldn’t have happened, and Clinton wouldn’t have lied under oath if a previous president actually got prison time for committing a crime. We keep hearing that no one is above the law, yet we’ve repeatedly shown that presidents are and pardoning Nixon set that precedent. At least that’s my opinion.

Alyssa Paguaga

i think mckinley would've been a better president if he was alive at a different time. he completely bought into the age of imperialism. i didn't even learn about the phillipine american war until i got to college. not a fan of him at all
