Already I have objections to your personal opinions[edit]

Even though this article is empty. I have some complaints already. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 21:19, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Number one, Andrew Jackson[edit]

"Was president during trail of tears" does not describe Andrew Jackson's relationship with that particular genocide. It falls so short of just how fucked he personally was. First of all, the Indian Removal Act was his policy that he purposefully crafted to expand the amount of slave state territory in the United States. He outright ignored a supreme court ruling that the law was unconstitutional due to Native American sovereignty of their own tribes. Long before the policy was implemented, he gave military protection to vigilantes that rounded up and murdered natives on trumped up charges. And it's not even accurate that he was president during it. He just created the plan and issued the orders. Martin Van Buren was president during implementation.

It's hard to imagine a president more vile and fucked up than Jackson. Whatever my objections to Trump, he's not gonna overtake "most evil" from this fucker.ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 21:19, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

George Washington[edit]

I hope to god you don't stick with "First president therefor good" and omit the con category forever. Because oh man, his time as general, he ordered villiages of native americans slaughtered, men, women, and children. And you know the Whiskey Rebellion? The farmer's rebellion he ruthlessly crushed with the newly minted US Army?

It existed because small time whiskey brewers were forced out of the business by a tax plan designed to create a monopoly for the whiskey production facility at... Mount Vernon?! Maybe not as bad as Jackson, but man, not great. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 21:19, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
