I’d say that the two worst were Woodrow Wilson and FDR. I agree with you about Wilson, but FDR did terrible damage too, with the Great Depression and socialist government. There were major problems with the Second World War, too. Read Evelyn Waugh’s “Sword of Honour” trilogy.

After Abraham Lincoln, I would have said the worst President in History was Lyndon Johnson, but over the years I realize the thing he did that most damaged the nation, is what any moderately clever politician of that era would have done if painted into that corner by his political opponents.

No one else besides FDR started with essentially constitutional governance, and having kicked that to the curb subsequently had their lawlessness stick.

No one is worse that FDR for that reason. Others before him had been lawless, but it had mostly failed to stick. All those who have followed him, especially Mr No Repeal Eisenhower, have built of his lawlessness.
