Friends, it’s Presidents Day. And since there’s not much to celebrate, today, we’re thinking about Warren G. Harding – widely considered the Worst President Ever.
A few things Warren G. Harding did:
Warren oversaw the Teapot Dome Scandal, when members of his administration secretly leased federal oil reserves to private companies in exchange for bribes – such as a free herd of cattle for the Secretary of Interior’s ranch.
Warren once said “I am not fit for this office and should never have been here.” A little late for such self discovery, but honest nonetheless.
Warren was not only an adulterer, but became the subject of a best-selling memoir – The President’s Daughter – written by his mistress.
Not great. But does he really deserve the title of Worst President Ever?
(For good measure) A few things Donald Trump did:
Trump claimed that there were “very fine people on both sides” of a local Nazi rally.
Trump took a purple heart from a veteran who had earned said purple heart in combat, explaining “I’ve always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”
Trump lost an election, claimed he won, and incited a violent mob to attack the US Capitol. Oh, and then pardoned that violent mob 4 years later.
Trump insisted that John McCain was not a war hero because he was captured. He said, on the subject, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
Does Warren G. Harding still deserve his title? We’ll let you decide.
Hope you enjoy your Presidents Day,
Greg
