Joe Biden has not even left office yet and conservatives are calling him the worst president in history. Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said on Fox Business said that Biden “cemented” his title through a “litany” of lies. Jarrett maintained that the list of Biden’s lies “is almost endless”: inflation, the price of gasoline, immigration, tax rates, his own classified document scandal, domestic violence, COVID vaccines, student loan forgiveness, and Afghanistan.
Liberals would, of course, disagree, and say that Trump is the worst president in history even though he hasn’t even begun his second term.
Yet, most conservatives and liberals would agree that Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were some of the best presidents instead of three of the absolute worst.
It is hard to say who was the worst president. Aside from Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR; Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Barack Obama, Lyndon Johnson, and Joe Biden are certainly in the bottom ten.
It is easy to say who was the best president. It is not even close. This man is so far above the others who have held the office or the presidency that no one will ever surpass him in greatness. The best president was the ninth president, William Henry Harrison (1773–1841). He was the president only from March 4 to April 4, 1841, making him the shortest serving president in history.
Harrison was the last president born before the United States became a nation. His father signed the Declaration of Independence. He fought in the War of 1812. He served as governor of the new Indiana territory. He negotiated treaties with Indians. He was elected to both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He had ten children. He is the only president to have a grandson elected president (Benjamin Harrison). Until Ronald Reagan, he was the oldest president to be inaugurated. Yet, what Harrison is most remembered for is being the first president to die in office.
It is because Harrison died in office after only a month as president that he should be considered to be the best president.
He died before signing into law any unconstitutional legislation.
He died before lying to the American people.
He died before compromising his principles.
He died before becoming embroiled in a scandal.
He died before committing adultery.
He died before trampling on Americans’ rights and liberties.
He died before authorizing the invasion of other countries.
He died before nationalizing land.
He died before misusing the military.
He died before making an executive order.
He died before appointing any bad justices to the Supreme Court.
He died before disgracing the office of the president.
He died before abusing his power.
It is because of these things that William Henry Harrison was the best president that America ever had or ever will have.
