Trump Isn’t the Most Outrageous President

Trump is an unprecedented racist!

FDR locked up 120,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans, most American citizens, in internment camps.

Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the federal government and hosted a White House screening of the pro-Klan movie The Birth of a Nation.

Lyndon B. Johnson repeated referred to the Civil Rights Act as ‘the n—-r bill.’ He also once told his black chauffeur, ‘As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, n—-r, you just let it roll off your back like water.’

Trump is an unprecedented Fascist!

Under Woodrow Wilson, members of the American Protective League beat up protesters and searched people’s houses without warrants. Wilson’s attorney general allowed members of the group to carry the badge shown above, declaring he was an “Auxiliary to the U.S. Department of Justice.”

Trump is an unprecedented threat to civil liberties!

One year after Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the slogan ‘He kept us out of war’, his administration threw people in jail for opposing his decision to enter WWI. One of them, Eugene V. Debs was arrested after making a speech against the draft; convicted on ten counts of sedition, he was sentenced to ten years. Wilson’s successor (Harding) reduced his sentence to time served.

Trump has undermined the press in an unprecedented way!

Woodrow Wilson conducted a sustained campaign of suppression and intimidation against the left-wing press that opposed his war policy. His Committee on Public Information was a huge outfit that even published a newspaper that Smithsonian magazine dubbed “the closest the United States has come to a paper like the Soviet Union’s Pravda or China’s People’s Daily.”

Barack Obama operated a massive government surveillance program which targeted not just the press, but also every American to ever use a cellular phone or communicate from the internet. The Washington Post described the program as a massive expansion of President George W. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program.

Obama also had Fox reporters barred from briefings and sicced his Justice Department against reporters he didn’t like.

Trump sought to use unprecedented force of the federal government against a political opponent!

Johnson had the CIA spy on his opponent, Barry Goldwater. CIA man Howard Hunt — whose actions would later help derail the presidency of Richard Nixon — infiltrated Goldwater campaign headquarters, stealing material that the Johnson campaign then used against Goldwater.

Obama’s activities to spy on the Trump campaign are still being exposed.

Trump uses his attorney general to serve political ends like never before.

When John F. Kennedy appointed his own brother to the post of Attorney General, saying, “I can’t see that it’s wrong to give him a little legal experience before he goes out to practice law.”

Trump has tried to influence the sacred, independent Federal Reserve Board for the first time ever.

Lyndon Johnson (who was 6-foot-4) physically assaulted his much shorter federal reserve board, William McChesney Martin, pushing him against the wall and screaming, ‘Martin, my boys are dying in Vietnam, and you won’t print the money I need.’

Trump says random stuff on Twitter that no previous president ever would have dreamed of.

When the Washington Post (Dec 6, 1950) published an unflattering review of President Harry Truman’s daughter’s singing, he fired off a letter to the columnist saying he was “a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work. Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!”

During a crisis about the value of the dollar, Lyndon Johnson once publicly suggested Americans be barred from traveling anywhere outside the Western Hemisphere in order to keep dollars from leaving the country. He also told people they might have to cancel their summer vacations in France to aid his reelection prospects.

Trump is more vulgar than anyone who’s held the office before him!

John Adams was said to walk three miles every day and swim the width of Potomac river each morning at 5am – completely nude.

Andrew Jackson got into such a snit with Charles Dickinson that he ended up killing him in a duel. Jackson also had a bad temper and a foul mouth that he apparently passed on to his parrot. The bird had to be removed from the funeral when he “got excited and commenced swearing so loud and long as to disturb the people.”

Andrew Johnson was so drunk on the morning of his impeachment that his 17 minute speech was incomprehensible. When he put his hands on the bible, he proclaimed “I kiss this Book in the face of my nation the United States.“

Prohibition president Warren Harding (1865 – 1923) was said to have frequently entertained late night guests with a constant supply of illegal alcohol while his wife happily mixed drinks. He also reportedly had a string of affairs, the first of which occurred only 3 years into his marriage. After his death, a campaign worker 30 years his junior wrote a tell-all book in which she said they’d had sex in a coat closet in the White House while Secret Service agents guarded the door. Harding reportedly referred to his penis as “Jerry” and wrote to a mistress, “Wish I could take you to Mount Jerry. Wonderful spot.”

Grover Cleveland was accused of raping a woman and fathering her illegitimate child. She claimed that after she gave birth, she was spirited away to a local asylum without any warrant or reason and had her child placed in custody.

Lyndon B. Johnson was an exhibitionist who was inordinately fond of his favorite appendage, which he named “Jumbo” Johnson. When reporters asked him why the U.S. was in Vietnam, he pulled out Jumbo and exclaimed, ‘This is why!‘

Johnson would also frequently urinate in public and wave Jumbo around at anyone unfortunate to walk into the bathroom when he was using the urinal. The White House staff also had to put up with him sitting on the toilet with the door open, issuing orders and carrying on conversations as he emptied his bowels. He also took great pleasure in persuading envoys to join in a spot of skinny dipping in the White House pool.

Like his his predecessor, Lyndon Johnson was also a terrible womanizer and is believed to have once remarked that he “had more women by accident than [Kennedy] ever had on purpose.” He shamelessly made passes at any woman he came across and his many private mistresses were referred to by his staffers as LBJ’s “harem.” He also reportedly had a buzzer installed in the Oval Office so the Secret Service staff could let him know if his wife was coming.
