I would say Trump. The problem is, ridiculous come from the Latin for laughable, and fascism is no laughing matter.
Next in line would be Dubya. He was a bit less fascist - although Gitmo detainees probably beg to disagree - but more amusing.
So I vote for Dubya, despite the fascism.
Don’t misunderestimate Dubya. Irregardless of his policies, he coined words and phrases like Shakespeare. How many of use of dreamed of human beings and fish coexisting peacefully? How many of us strive to put food on our families and buy most of our imports from overseas? Don’t we all want to know “is our children learning?” And who can forget that famous Texas proverb “fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.”
To be fair, I’ve read that the Texas proverb bit was him cutting himself off mid sentence to prevent a sound bite of him saying “shame on me”. I have no idea of the veracity of the claim but it’s interesting if true.
Likely! Politicians will never say anything negative about themselves because it comes back to haunt them. Also why they never apologize or admit fault.
You can see it in his eyes as he’s about to say it… both the inevitable use on the Daily Show and the desire to strangle his speechwriter.
Spoken like a true Merkin!
No one else turned our entire population into mindless pussy-wigs…and all with a single phrase!
My kid calls atomic things nukular. Mad shame. I’m a terrible parent.
I’d love to see how it compares to that one president who was stuck in a bathtub. C’mon. How do you NOT ridicule that???
Oh, Taft.
Most ridiculed in history? Trump. Any scandal or even conspiracy about other presidents honestly pale in comparison to just 1 single Trump day. Its to the point where we dont even call them scandals anymore, its just another day with Trump in office.
The president I’m thinking of gets applause when he signs his name to something because people are so relieved he still remembers how.
Can you narrow it down a little?
It’s a coin flip between Reagan and Trump in their second terms.
Biden?
In France we had this satirical TV show called Les Guignols de l’Info (the News Puppets) which was really active from 1990 to 2010.
They really liked to make fun of George W. Bush, portraying him as a huge idiot acting childishly, obeying capitalism and obsessed with war.
Here’s a compilation, It’s roughly translated but you can see what it looked like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs5xDkPEpDY
lol, looks like spitting image
Do we even need to debate this?
Herbert Hoover presided over the Great Depression (1929 to 1933). Mass homeless camps were called Hoovervilles. I’m betting he caught flack from everyone.
I personally thought, no-one could ever top or be worse than W. Then Trump showed up. I no longer think Trump is the bottom, because the Republican voter is getting dumber not smarter as time rolls on.
45 > 47> someone else
Washington
I still find it hilarious that about 15 years ago, the WWE introduced a new wrestling character. His name was “Abraham Washington”. A name that, yes, it is a combination of exactly the two names you think it is. So who did they get to play the role of Aberaham Washington? A black guy. He played the role of a TV talk show host, who legitimately got fired, and this is true, for going off script and saying “Titus O’Neil (A wrestler) is like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado - HE’S UNSTOPPABLE!” which referenced some 2003 legal issues Kobe had involving a sexual assault case.
Abraham Washington everybody!
There’s pull for W with good reason: idiocies done by him were sung & talked about for months & years. Current pedophile-in-chief is such a narcissist (and blithering idiot) that it’s difficult to keep up with the constant barrage of lies & screwups. Let alone keeping the gag or ridicule going for more than a week (day, often).
There’s change that’s due to the internet, corporate lust for click-bait. But…
The Cheetoh-face loves it up. And still wants more attention.
And continually steals unbelievable scripts & stupid works from comedians & theOnion
It depends who does the ridiculing, in which time period and where they do that. In the last quarter century, in Europe, Dubya has been a grateful target, although Trump makes him look good.
My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw russia forever. We begin bombing in 5 minutes.
Deffo Trump, and for good reasons
Just not jimmy carter
