1. Abraham Lincoln

This sums it up.

2, Woodrow Wilson

Unnecessarily got us into World War I after promising to keep us out, improperly passed the sixteenth amendment, pretty much set the standard for the United Nations.

3. Franklin Roosevelt

Prolonged the Great Depression, stole Hoover's ideas then blamed him for the Depression because he "did nothing", broke tradition by having four terms, tried to stack the courts because the Supreme Court declared his socialist programs unconstitutional, didn't know shit about economics by establishing stuff like minimum wage, Stalin's dicksucker.

4. Harry Truman

Created and got us into both the United Nations and NATO, created the CIA, started the whole mess in the Middle East.

5. Lyndon Johnson

Officially got us into Vietnam without Congressional approval after slandering Goldwater for being for the war. Great Society was also a complete mess and can still be felt today.

6. Jimmy Carter

We all know this.

7. Theodore Roosevelt

Terrible foreign policy and nearly destroyed the right to private property.

8. George H.W. Bush

First Gulf War, lied about new taxes.

9. Richard Nixon

Bad domestic policy and taking us off the gold standard.

10. George Bush

No explanation.

...Are you serious right now? Lincoln? Roosevelt? I'd agree with you on Wilson and Nixon, possibly the Bushs, but really.

Your arguments would be much more convincing if you gave reasons with it. Right now, this could be considered trolling.

If you know basic economics and Constitutional law, you don't need an explanation why these ten are the worst presidents.

I see how the Original Poster conveniently forgot to mention that it's about AMERICAN presidents. Because right now I could start listing several African presidents...

In all seriousness, this is mostly true. Half of your reasoning is nonexistent. I'd like to see some real points on why this all made them bad presidents. All you did was sum up historical facts. And even then.
This is also trolling. Whether or not you are aware of it, making topics that are there to intentionally cause, not just a debate, but a heated debate, is trolling. I fully expect heated arguments here, that will happen. But it also happens over real subject matter. Not "These presidents suck". Understand?

If you don't have some valid points up by tomorrow, the topic will be locked.

I'm willing to bet if I put Warren Harding, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, etc. on this list it would not be considered "trolling".

If going against what public schools/outdated textbooks say is "trolling" I don't know what isn't.

No, that's not it.
You're intentionally trying to create a heated debate without facts to back up your opinions. If you can't comply, this topic will be locked.

I did give reasons, you just choose to put keep your head in your ass.

No, you gave us what happened. You did not explain how any of it was wrong.

And since you're absolutely intent on being a pain, you can enjoy two days away.

Topic locked, user tempbanned, nothing more to see.
