#1 most embarrassing US Presidential Moment is JB's recent debate performance. Hence this video was made. First time a POTUS has been completely proven unfit to serve. Even though the media and rest of the dems have argued otherwise since 2020.
Or you should pay more attention to politics. The only reason he was forced to add taxes was because of his predecessor. Good old Ronnie Reagan. Reagans tax cuts were too big to be sustained. Which is why Ronald is a saint and bush was not. In a nut shell Ronnie set up Bushes failure. people basked in the glory of Ronalds tax cuts and Bush Senior had to pay the bill.
I dunno man, Bush 1 was a pretty decent man and president. Sometimes circumstances change and you need to change policy. The Republican party today refuses to ever raise taxes even when it's necessary. And it's largely because of this incident. They just want to cut cut cut but then don't stop spending and always tends to increase the deficit. Bush was being responsible and rational by evaluating the situation and deciding he needed to change course. It was definitely a mistake to make such a hard line promise to begin with, but it's hardly the worst thing a president has done.

That was weird considering it was generally reported that they did send air support but because of a wrong time zone they arrived too late to support or rescue the dying soldier
Actually this is not the fault of Kennedy but the CIA and the Military itself as they were the only one who were involved in the action and activity of the operation, i heard that the CIA director Allen Dulles was actually suffering from mental decline because of his age.
Timing 👏👏👏 heroic and idealistic as a stance like that is…that was not the moment to pull a “stand against the military industrial complex” position.

The comments here are pretty funny. Of all the egregious acts former 🇺🇸 presidents have committed, some are comparing a dismal debate to the Trail of Tears or the internment of Japanese heritage Americans. Please, can we all agree that stepping on your fellow countrymen is far worse than stepping on your own tongue?
Andrew Jackson It's appalling what happened to the Native people of this country They are owed soooooooo much It needs to be recognized and dealt with. Shame on the forefathers for their atrocities to humans
That's what happens being wrapped up in religious ferver and greed... I think I learned in school they blamed everything on a mandate from God to expand the country from ocean to ocean. Edit: I remember now "Manifest Destiny."
Don't coddle my people, it's because of liberals and Democrats a lot of my people would rather be drunk unemployed beggars blaming all their problems on people who haven't been alive for 200 years.....we need Marxism out of this country if you really want to help Natives like me
Why did America fight the Vietnam war? The Vietnam war lasted 10 years and cost America 58,000 lives and over a trillion dollars(adjusted for inflation). It brought out a President, stirred social unrest, and ended in defeat. No one in hindsight believes fighting a losing war is ever worth the cost. Consequently the Vietnam War is usually written off as a colossal strategic blunder and a humanitarian disaster. Yet historical appraisals might have been much different had the Vietnam war followed the pattern of the Korean War(1950-1953), which the United States fought for almost identical reasons: the defense of freedom in Asia. The US had military advisors in Vietnam during the 1950s but didn’t become involved in a major way until 1963. President JFK firmly believed in the domino effect. The foreign policy theory that vulnerable nations without help would fall, one after another, like dominoes, to external communist aggression. JFK thus hoped to stop Soviet and Chinese backed communist invasions in a manner of President Harry S. Truman had in Korea by taking a stand in Vietnam. As with Korea, it was a war the United States did not seek, as with Korea, Vietnam presented no “imperial” advantages, no natural resources of any kind that the United States needed to protect or wish to obtain. As with Korea the aggressor was a communist government in the north intent on taking control of the south. And it’s military cross and internationally recognized in order to do so. Following JFK’s assassination in November of 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson vastly escalated America’s role in 1964. But even as he did so Johnson prosecuted the war with deep ambivalence. Authorizing significantly more troops and money for the war but never pushing for total victory. In contrast the north Vietnamese never wavered. They ignored every one of Johnson’s many offers to negotiate a settlement. By 1971, the war was at a stalemate. Neither side able to establish a clear advantage. The President Richard Nixon pursued a two prong strategy. To turn over combat operations to the south Vietnamese and to bomb north Vietnam. The effort brought the communist to Paris Peace Talks and by 1973 the North agreed to a general settlement. Establishing two autonomous Vietnamese nations. One communist, one non-communist in the manner of North and South Korea. However the watergate scandal, the subsequent resignation of President Nixon, and the democrats sweeping congressional victory in the 1974 midterm election, all helped to convince the North Vietnamese that America would not enforce the peace agreement. They were right. Without US air support and material aid the South Vietnamese had no chance against the North. Well supplied by the Soviet Union, the Chinese, the communist gained full control of the country in April 1975. The war proved far more costly than Korea because the geography and landscapes of Vietnam were far more conducive during operation. There were also far more restrictions placed on American commanders and during the Korean War. The United States in the 1960s was a far less conservative and cohesive country than America in the 1950s. Yet despite the long ordeal and terrible cost, South Vietnam was saved in 1973 only to be lost in 1975. The US defeat in Vietnam was a POLITICAL choice. Not a military necessity. Had the US protected an independent but vulnerable South Vietnam in 1973 and 1974, that country would have most likely followed the model of South Korea. Millions of southeast Asians would not have become Boat people, and refugees, or been sent to the gulags and re-education camps. A viable US backed democratic Vietnam would have stabilized the region and almost certainly prevented the neighboring Cambodian genocide in which one-fifth of that country, 2 million people were slaughtered by its communist leadership. And much of the bitterness over the war on both sides of the American political spectrum still with us today would have vanished. And for the communist Vietnamese, the instigators and aggressors of the terrible conflict, what was it all for? Today ironically the Vietnamese government aspires to nothing more than the capitalist affluence. That it once reviled.
I agree. He really *was* a very ineffective and shortsighted president, but I don’t see why he always secures the #1 spot as Worst President Ever. I think Andrew Johnson was really the worst one we ever had (prior to 2016), but I also think Warren Harding and Franklin Pierce lay some claim to the title as well. So we’ve already got four candidates for whom you could make a good argument that they were the worst. So I don’t see why Buchanan *always* gets selected as the #1 Worst Ever. But that’s only the worst ever prior to 2016, anyway. It is indisputable that Donald Trump was the worst President in all of American history. I don’t think James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson ever led any violent insurrections into the Capitol Building - you get my drift?
@@matthewgliatto7339 Woodrow Wilson is also a good pick for worst POTUS ever. And JB now. Oh missed the end. Dems led insurrection into the Capitol. DT told them to peacefully protest, and to go home when things turned violent. More than dems did during the summer of "love" and the BLM assault on the White House.
Way to minimize the impact of this list by including Trump's indictment, anybody that has looked at -any- of that knows it was banana republic level stuff.
The problem with the Trump conviction on this list is its irrelevance. All the other 19 of the entries occurred while a president was in office. For Trump, it was a personal matter he was thrown into by scumbags. He hadn't been president for 3 and 1/2 years.
It is impossible to be a regular watcher of watch MOJO and not see their anti conservative slant. See how often they talk about Christian actors ruining their careers for their beliefs.
Actually, Jimmy Carter SUCCESSFULLY negotiated the release of the hostages. Then Reagan (who was still a candidate) called it off and told the Iranians that if they would hold off until after the election, he would promise them weapons!!! So, Reagan had Americans held captive for his own political gain. Reagan took the credit and the White House and later was embroiled in the Iran Contra scandal‼️
@@Zetirix hell yea brother/sister 😎 I’m NOT saying teddy is perfect 😐but he is the reason we have the protection of natural parks and the pure food and drug act 😐and teddy is he only president I can think of that actually took action to protect the environment it’s no wonder why people loved him 😅as I think he was elected 4 or 5 times until congress forced new presidents to only be elected 2 terms😐 I would not be surprised if trump were to destroy everything the other presidents built for 😐trump for slavery trump against gay and disability people trump against the environment if trump could genoside people I bet he would 😑
I dont remember any of these issues being taught in school. I just remember "the US is the greatest nation....". What was done to the Indigenous people is something we (the USA) criticize other countries for doing acting like we are so righteous. We need to own this truth and not repeat it.
@@Meatloaf1973 Right, because clearly to you, Trump can never do anything wrong, he's clearly above the law. Is that a seal of approval of everything he's been accused of?
Stuff like this is why you shouldn’t take the phrase “run the government how the founders intended” because even they were flawed in how they executed the laws and constitution. Often times and eventually needing correction later down the line
A lot of the "corrections" have been terrible. Like the federal income tax and The FED. Increased federal control of local and state governments on a minutia level. The welfare state. FDR's New Deal. Let alone the socialism today's dems are pushing, even though they've already failed in other countries.
My great grandpa was deported back in 1932, his son (my Grandpa) was also deported back then he was 9 years old. He is turning 101 this year and still remembers when he was deported he was in class when he got "rounded up". He entered the US again in the 60's - under the bracero program with his original US documents from the 1920's. He only got "were sorry" upon entering the US again. His dad had property in Texas and New Mexico where it was sold for a $1 an Acre afterwards. He still around kicking and walking.
@@PhinneusPrune Lol, Trump is a convicted sex offender, fraud, and election cheat, who openly claims he'll overturn democracy. And you'll vote for him anyways. Pathetic.
@@PhinneusPrune And if you answered Trump ... LOL Fascinating to watch the US struggle with far-right fascism. But we shouldn't be surprised, given how it's the cult capital of the world.
12:06 I completely and strongly disagree with pick number 10 on this list. President Donald Trump’s felony conviction in New York City should not even belong on this list. From beginning to end it is my belief that there was nothing legitimate about that trial whatsoever it was purely politically motivated and in short it was a clean case of political prosecution at its finest.
Being 'Native American' glad the forced removal is on the list, though I don't know if it should be #1. Also the interment of the Japanese in WWII and slavery is a stain on America.
@@General_MacArthur so tried to overthrow the government isn’t as bad as trying to get the police to treat everyone the same and try to get them to kill unarmed people as they arrested them, or racial profiling. And BLM movement happens during trump term so blame him too
I would argue that John Adams was still one of our greatest presidents, and probably our greatest founding father. He was the only one who vocally opposed slavery and never owned a slave himself, despite being a rich person with the capacity to do so. He was also trying to preserve the newborn America too, and while he may not have had the finesse that Abraham Lincoln had when going full authoritarian, he still probably had good intentions with the alien and sedition acts.
I like that some of the choices on here are actually presidents who did a good job. Was not expecting to see George Washington who is revered as one of the greatest of all time
Here's what's embarrassing, there were no moderators in last night's debate. (The people who were supposed to fact check everything and keep the candidates on track of the questions.) The whole night was just a he said/she said because of the lack of moderators.
Last night's debate" which I didn't even really watch, is not worthy of this list, but then neither are half of these selections. Jefferson's "embarrassment" for example, was merely a practical act in response to Great Britian's acts of piracy -- an internationally recognized act of terrorism. If Jefferson had done nothing at all, American trade [and therefore its economy, would have still suffered. neither was Washington's attempt to cover costs of War by enacting a liquor tax, an "embarrassment." It is the reaction of the people that is embarrassing to me. I mean, we were acting like Russians back then. . . . The worst events, after the genocidal ones, were the two acts of sedition. Even George Bush the Lessor's Patriot Act [which you failed to mention] echoed these horrendous acts under Adams and Wilson. To tell an American that he/she cannot criticize is like a gag order. Imagine our founding fathers being told not to complain in the 1760's. As for the slip-ups involving sexual encounters, well, hell, are these not men? Who can tell how it went down, and you could have mentioned Kennedy's trysts on THIS list.
@@susannpatton2893 If you're still voting for Biden after that fiasco, then you'd vote for a houseplant if it was running against Trump. You don't care who runs the Country as long as it's not the guy you hate. That's WHY they call it Trump Derangement Syndrome.
What does any holiday do? Every holiday is for consumerism. July 4th is a specifically American. It's not putting no one against anyone. I celebrate Juneteenth and still have white friends. Your the one that's being so negative
It was so embarrassing for.President Trump that he raised nearly 400 million dollars in donations afterwards and his poll numbers skyrocketed But hey, don’t let that get in the way of your little history lesson…
I know right biden's performance last night was arguably one of the worst in history Trump destroyed him the only people that will disagree are the people that still claim he's racist even though African Americans if you actually look it up have literally said they want to vote Trump and it's funny how it's only the white people claiming he's racist and not the other way around
I don’t think most of these were embarrassing so much as controversial and career ending, but if you want an embarrassing one, maybe try the Afghanistan exit by the Biden administration, but that’s right, you probably won’t.
Afghanistan was gonna play out like that regardless whom ever was in office, like South Vietnam. You can’t build a nation that’s not really a nation (Afghanistan was built as a division between British India and Czar Russia).
Do you think a moment from last night's presidential debate should have been included in some way, or too early to tell compared to the rest of the list? Let us know in the comments. Stay tuned for our list specifically on the first 2024 debate coming later today.

@@petrnovak7235 Actually, I knew a bit. I lived in Wales for a while a few years ago, and my girlfriend was a history major, so I learned a lot there.
Not if the teachers didn’t have money in the budget to cover this stuff because the school district thought Football was more important even though they have a shitty Football program & not one student has ever been to high level College Football and/or Pro Football.
The comments here are pretty funny. Of all the egregious acts former 🇺🇸 presidents have committed, some are comparing a dismal debate to the Trail of Tears or the internment of Japanese heritage Americans. Please, can we all agree that stepping on your fellow countrymen is far worse than stepping on your own tongue?

Why did America fight the Vietnam war?
The Vietnam war lasted 10 years and cost America 58,000 lives and over a trillion dollars(adjusted for inflation). It brought out a President, stirred social unrest, and ended in defeat. No one in hindsight believes fighting a losing war is ever worth the cost. Consequently the Vietnam War is usually written off as a colossal strategic blunder and a humanitarian disaster.
Yet historical appraisals might have been much different had the Vietnam war followed the pattern of the Korean War(1950-1953), which the United States fought for almost identical reasons: the defense of freedom in Asia. The US had military advisors in Vietnam during the 1950s but didn’t become involved in a major way until 1963. President JFK firmly believed in the domino effect. The foreign policy theory that vulnerable nations without help would fall, one after another, like dominoes, to external communist aggression.
JFK thus hoped to stop Soviet and Chinese backed communist invasions in a manner of President Harry S. Truman had in Korea by taking a stand in Vietnam. As with Korea, it was a war the United States did not seek, as with Korea, Vietnam presented no “imperial” advantages, no natural resources of any kind that the United States needed to protect or wish to obtain. As with Korea the aggressor was a communist government in the north intent on taking control of the south. And it’s military cross and internationally recognized in order to do so.
Following JFK’s assassination in November of 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson vastly escalated America’s role in 1964. But even as he did so Johnson prosecuted the war with deep ambivalence. Authorizing significantly more troops and money for the war but never pushing for total victory. In contrast the north Vietnamese never wavered. They ignored every one of Johnson’s many offers to negotiate a settlement.
By 1971, the war was at a stalemate. Neither side able to establish a clear advantage. The President Richard Nixon pursued a two prong strategy. To turn over combat operations to the south Vietnamese and to bomb north Vietnam. The effort brought the communist to Paris Peace Talks and by 1973 the North agreed to a general settlement. Establishing two autonomous Vietnamese nations. One communist, one non-communist in the manner of North and South Korea.
However the watergate scandal, the subsequent resignation of President Nixon, and the democrats sweeping congressional victory in the 1974 midterm election, all helped to convince the North Vietnamese that America would not enforce the peace agreement. They were right. Without US air support and material aid the South Vietnamese had no chance against the North. Well supplied by the Soviet Union, the Chinese, the communist gained full control of the country in April 1975.
The war proved far more costly than Korea because the geography and landscapes of Vietnam were far more conducive during operation. There were also far more restrictions placed on American commanders and during the Korean War. The United States in the 1960s was a far less conservative and cohesive country than America in the 1950s. Yet despite the long ordeal and terrible cost, South Vietnam was saved in 1973 only to be lost in 1975. The US defeat in Vietnam was a POLITICAL choice. Not a military necessity.
Had the US protected an independent but vulnerable South Vietnam in 1973 and 1974, that country would have most likely followed the model of South Korea. Millions of southeast Asians would not have become Boat people, and refugees, or been sent to the gulags and re-education camps. A viable US backed democratic Vietnam would have stabilized the region and almost certainly prevented the neighboring Cambodian genocide in which one-fifth of that country, 2 million people were slaughtered by its communist leadership. And much of the bitterness over the war on both sides of the American political spectrum still with us today would have vanished. And for the communist Vietnamese, the instigators and aggressors of the terrible conflict, what was it all for? Today ironically the Vietnamese government aspires to nothing more than the capitalist affluence. That it once reviled.

Poor old Jimmy Buchanan. The late Rene Auberjonois portrayed him in Raising Buchanan.
I agree. He really *was* a very ineffective and shortsighted president, but I don’t see why he always secures the #1 spot as Worst President Ever.
I think Andrew Johnson was really the worst one we ever had (prior to 2016), but I also think Warren Harding and Franklin Pierce lay some claim to the title as well. So we’ve already got four candidates for whom you could make a good argument that they were the worst. So I don’t see why Buchanan *always* gets selected as the #1 Worst Ever.
But that’s only the worst ever prior to 2016, anyway. It is indisputable that Donald Trump was the worst President in all of American history.
I don’t think James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson ever led any violent insurrections into the Capitol Building - you get my drift?
@@matthewgliatto7339 James Buchanan often seems to tie with his predecessor Franklin Pierce and Warren Harding as worst president 🤔
@@matthewgliatto7339 Woodrow Wilson is also a good pick for worst POTUS ever. And JB now.
Oh missed the end. Dems led insurrection into the Capitol. DT told them to peacefully protest, and to go home when things turned violent. More than dems did during the summer of "love" and the BLM assault on the White House.
Re Woodrow Wilson, you forgot that Wilson gave us the environmental that caused WWII and the rise of Hitler. Aka peace without victory.

Way to minimize the impact of this list by including Trump's indictment, anybody that has looked at -any- of that knows it was banana republic level stuff.
The problem with the Trump conviction on this list is its irrelevance. All the other 19 of the entries occurred while a president was in office. For Trump, it was a personal matter he was thrown into by scumbags. He hadn't been president for 3 and 1/2 years.
It is impossible to be a regular watcher of watch MOJO and not see their anti conservative slant. See how often they talk about Christian actors ruining their careers for their beliefs.

How did the Iranian hostage crisis under Jimmy Carter not make the list?
Actually, Jimmy Carter SUCCESSFULLY negotiated the release of the hostages. Then Reagan (who was still a candidate) called it off and told the Iranians that if they would hold off until after the election, he would promise them weapons!!! So, Reagan had Americans held captive for his own political gain. Reagan took the credit and the White House and later was embroiled in the Iran Contra scandal‼️

Stuff like this is why you shouldn’t take the phrase “run the government how the founders intended” because even they were flawed in how they executed the laws and constitution.
Often times and eventually needing correction later down the line
A lot of the "corrections" have been terrible. Like the federal income tax and The FED. Increased federal control of local and state governments on a minutia level. The welfare state. FDR's New Deal.

My great grandpa was deported back in 1932, his son (my Grandpa) was also deported back then he was 9 years old. He is turning 101 this year and still remembers when he was deported he was in class when he got "rounded up". He entered the US again in the 60's - under the bracero program with his original US documents from the 1920's. He only got "were sorry" upon entering the US again. His dad had property in Texas and New Mexico where it was sold for a $1 an Acre afterwards. He still around kicking and walking.

So the Afghan pullout is not in the top 20 most embarrassing moments for America? ….. ok, sureeeee 😂
My thoughts exactly! Not a SINGLE Biden “policy” is worthy of this list? The border? Inflation? Afghanistan? Literally get fucked watch mojo!
The pullout from Vietnam wasn't on the list, either. And that was done by a Republican.
@@sully9080 Given Congress refusing to fund keeping South Vietnam supplied, Ford made the best of a bad situation. Thanks lefties.
You can now add Trump to the list because of the way he handled the Covid-19 pandemic with over 1,200,000 Death
12:06 I completely and strongly disagree with pick number 10 on this list. President Donald Trump’s felony conviction in New York City should not even belong on this list. From beginning to end it is my belief that there was nothing legitimate about that trial whatsoever it was purely politically motivated and in short it was a clean case of political prosecution at its finest.
Being 'Native American' glad the forced removal is on the list, though I don't know if it should be #1. Also the interment of the Japanese in WWII and slavery is a stain on America.

I would argue that John Adams was still one of our greatest presidents, and probably our greatest founding father. He was the only one who vocally opposed slavery and never owned a slave himself, despite being a rich person with the capacity to do so. He was also trying to preserve the newborn America too, and while he may not have had the finesse that Abraham Lincoln had when going full authoritarian, he still probably had good intentions with the alien and sedition acts.
A whole top 20 for Brandon.
I like that some of the choices on here are actually presidents who did a good job. Was not expecting to see George Washington who is revered as one of the greatest of all time

Last night's debate" which I didn't even really watch, is not worthy of this list, but then neither are half of these selections. Jefferson's "embarrassment" for example, was merely a practical act in response to Great Britian's acts of piracy -- an internationally recognized act of terrorism. If Jefferson had done nothing at all, American trade [and therefore its economy, would have still suffered. neither was Washington's attempt to cover costs of War by enacting a liquor tax, an "embarrassment." It is the reaction of the people that is embarrassing to me. I mean, we were acting like Russians back then. . . .
The worst events, after the genocidal ones, were the two acts of sedition. Even George Bush the Lessor's Patriot Act [which you failed to mention] echoed these horrendous acts under Adams and Wilson. To tell an American that he/she cannot criticize is like a gag order. Imagine our founding fathers being told not to complain in the 1760's.
As for the slip-ups involving sexual encounters, well, hell, are these not men? Who can tell how it went down, and you could have mentioned Kennedy's trysts on THIS list.

I don’t think most of these were embarrassing so much as controversial and career ending, but if you want an embarrassing one, maybe try the Afghanistan exit by the Biden administration, but that’s right, you probably won’t.

Afghanistan was gonna play out like that regardless whom ever was in office, like South Vietnam. You can’t build a nation that’s not really a nation (Afghanistan was built as a division between British India and Czar Russia).
