There was a biopic made in 1944, “Wilson,” the biggest flop of all President biopics ever, in spite of winning a ton of Oscars. It’s never shown on TV as far as I can tell...

[Angelino97]

Regarding our entry into WW1, to be fair, it was unrestricted U-boat warfare

Much like the U.S. attacked Cambodia to cut off supply lines to the Viet Cong.

Attacking the enemy's supply lines (even while that supply line is outside enemy territory) is a standard practice in war.

My list of presidents who damaged our constitutional republic, in no particular order, would include:

Wilson, Lincoln, LBJ, Obama and, of course, Biden.

[JesusIsLord]

I think of Wilson as the President who got us into a European war (WW1) we had no business being in; the guy who signed the Federal Reserve Act; a friend of the KKK; and a supporter of the League of Nations (forerunner of the UN).

Woodrow Wilson, a true blue democrat! /s LOL!!

[Salty Longshanks]

“Arguably the biggest thing Wilson should be known for is his role in introducing America in general and America’s progressives in particular to the concept of centralized planning.”

i.e. “Phillip Dru: Administrator” by Edward House ;

[Shady]

He now has competition.

I agree to hate Woodrow Wilson, if I am also allowed to hate Teddy Roosevelt who, in my opinion, is the one single person more than any other, responsible for the tragic direction taken in the 20th century, the rotten fruits of which we still “enjoy” today.

A little known fact about the Wilson Presidency was his meddling into Mexican politics which led to the raid across the border by Poncho Villa and the punitive expedition by the U.S. Army into Mexico.

Wilson supported Poncho Villa, then withdrew the support at a critical time. Poncho Villa retaliated against American citizens.

Wilson was an academic who believed he knew better than all previous historians and military leaders. His policies were disastrous. He deserves to be hated.

FDR

[Olog-hai]

Meanwhile, the Kaiser was pushing anti-American sentiment the whole time.

[BrexitBen]

Yeah, FDR certainly belongs on the list.

[dfwgator]

So? Was he really a threat.

Between Germany, France and England. Two out of three still had colonies in our Hemisphere, and it wasn’t Germany.

[alloysteel]

Before there was a Joe Biden, a Barack Obama, a Jimmy Carter, or even an FDR, there was Woodrow Wilson, the original patriot of the New World Order, working his magic from the Oval Office.

Mostly, he made it stick, and kept the black population in chains much longer than otherwise would have happened.

[Fledermaus]

Every law signed by his wife after his stroke are invalid.

Same with Joe since Jill is signing.

[Rummyfan]

Every decent American should hate him.

I certainly do. He was the forerunner of Clinton and Obama.

[Fledermaus]

Sounds like the Patriot Act.

[dfwgator]

Sounds like what the Democrats and their Repuke NeoCon lackeys would love to pass right now.

[dfwgator]

Dumbya belongs on the list of worst Presidents.

[Fledermaus]

Actually held a viewing of “Birth of a Nation” in the WH.

[Rummyfan]

I don’t know….. Buchanan, LBJ, Carter, Obozo….. lotta competition.
