President Tyler is also the ONLY U.S. president who didn't receive the honor of all U.S. flags being lowered to half-mast upon his death. This was because, when he passed away in 1862, the U.S. Civil War was raging, and Tyler had just won a seat in the Confederate States House of Representatives. President Lincoln therefore understandably refused to order all American flags lowered in his remembrance.

The post-presidency Biden update on this video will be interesting to watch. Between Covid-19, Afghanistan, Inflation, and now Ukraine, He's had quite the eventful first year in office.

If we consider all the facts, I think Trump is gonna be viewed as one of the worst Presidents in all full honesty, I mean he did try to do good, like the Middle East Peace Deal, he also sended agaents out of his own pocket to rescue people from the 9/11 attacks, he has done some good stuff indeed, but his evils overtook his goods, he made a musulim travel ban, he pushed us away from science, he also reduced efforts to take on cliamte change, he made a racism fuled wall which made it difficult for familes looking for a better life to get to the U.S., Trump also weakened our forgain relationships with his "America First" agenda, he used tax payer money to play golf, he also hasn't paid his taxes, he fuled the looting, vandalizing and breaching of the Capitol Building, he also wanted to brainwash children with nationalism instead of patriotism, one moment he could be praising his loyal republicans, the second he woul dbe trashing them for accepting the reality of democracy, with all that said history won't be kind to him and he deserves it.

21:51 The black man to the left is James Parker, who stopped Leon Czolgosz from firing a third shot by tackling him to the ground. Parker received high praise for the act. This was in 1901, the height of Jim Crow!
And then he unfortunately fell into obscurity, was arrested for essentially "disturbing the peace" and died less then a decade later. Based on how the police and doctors described him, he might have had some delusional disorder
The story of Charles J. Guiteau is VERY INTERESTING. Go look it up, honestly. He wasn’t kidding when he said “Charles killed Garfield because he didn’t give him a job.”

I agree but his points that were brought up are biased because history is biased. Some presidents will be remembered for the good they did, others the bad they did. I believe he accurately portrayed that despite it being biased.
It’s both. All of history is politics and vice versa. History is always interpreted in some way. The further back you go, the more a consensus tends to agree with what happened, but there’s always politics.

If you don't believe me then the information was out and proved to be that Reagan was a bit of a fraud, Shame that I was only 5 in 1980 and even if I told my late dad who worked with Mrs T as he was a Commonwealth Secretariat he would of been not believed by his work mates as would you do anything if your daughter thought Reagan was a fraud? Shame that I wasn't at least 10 years older.
There's a slight inaccuracy about George Washington, while George Washington did include in his will that his slaves would not be freed until after his wife Martha's death, Martha Washington ended up making the decision to have his slaves freed early. Washington's slaves were freed in 1801, Martha Washington passed away in 1802
Many of founders did own slaves but they disagreed with it. But that’s basically what all such people had sadly, glad Washington did that. Best president ever

The one thing I want to correct is 36:25 where you said Nixon ended involvement in Vietnam. Nixon actively opposed taking troops out of Vietnam, but congress passed the War Resolution Act. Nixon vetoed the act, but congress passed it with a 2/3 super majority vote officially forcing the president to withdraw troops.

man its almost like capitalism needs major reform to work for the working class instead of the cabal of corporate elites at the top and that you completely missed the point of the entire section because youre pearl clutching about "MUH GOMMUNZIM!!!!! !NOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!!!!! HEALTHCARE IS LIDERALLY USSR STALIN GEORGE ORWELL 1984!!!!!". capitalism is a great system when the people running it are ethical and actually follow the rules, but instead in the real world, these people dont do anything with their money or assets and instead choose to hoard them as they watch their number rise on a forbes chart. its stupid to think anybody actually needs 10 billion dollars to survive in their day to day life. a billion dollars is such an unbelievably incomprehensible number its insane. ua-cam.com/video/0J6BQDKiYyM/v-deo.html these people at the top are 1. not paying taxes by abusing the multitude of loopholes they pay congress to keep open every year, 2. do not spend their money or liquidate any assets and 3. most do not donate shit when there are 3 or 4 massive companies strangling smaller businesses and people hoarding wealth, you no longer have a free market, you have corporate socialism. because even if the companies make a massive fucking blunder and lose everything, they can be comfortable knowing that the government which they have paid off will be happy to spend the tax dollars of the american public bailing them out (see 2008 bailouts) capitalism is a great system that drives innovation and can lift people from poverty, when it is working as intended and not being exploited, and unfortunately in the US, its been exploited for decades. in a moral and just society, people should not be dying because they are too poor to live, we need to broaden the social safety net. what is more patriotic? bowing down to some corporate overlord who is in essence plundering the US market to make as much money as possible and giving nothing back in return? or helping your fellow american live a happier and more comfortable life? you can decide.
@@cayorne I have not engaged in a good debate on UA-cam in awhile now. Let’s dive in. Now, John confirmed that he is a socialist when he responded to a comment that critiqued socialism with him saying along the lines of “at least we don’t do blah blah blah”. So I can call him a command economy stooge, because he is one. I did not call him a commie. Unlike most people I know the difference between communism and socialism Sure a person does not need 10 billion dollars, but he can do whatever he wants with his money as long as it is legal. Also not subverting American interests. In the long run, capitalism is about making money for oneself, not charity. Which yes, can be annoying and harmful, but luckily we are mixed economy that has regulations so companies don’t con consumers and employees. Loopholes should be delt with, I can agree on that. I agree companies should not be bailed out to some degree. How do you propose we deal with these massive companies? “Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong” -Calvin Coolidge These companies are very important to the American economy and could easily change your life for the worse if we destroy them too much. Apple phones would become more expensive, Amazon shipping increase in price, Microsoft systems longer to release and etc. Also thousands of workers in America that would have to be laid off if these companies become to small. Poverty will always be around, but we can minimize it. Now I am not against to some government benefits to the poor, but taxing or regulating the living hell out of companies will not fix the problem. Giving and charity is more of a culture thing. If you want less poor on the streets encourage that. I always recommend the idea give companies tax breaks and benefits to the amount of charity they do. So they aren’t destroyed by government regulation and the have the encouragement to better communities for benefits. I would love to hear some ideas from ya.
the commonality of obesity is a recent phenomena, if it were the cause of market economy then it would have been like that for a very long time, the reason why so many people are obese is because so many of the cheapest foods nowadays are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and provide almost no nutritional value, and the (ever increasing) lower classes are eating this because its what's available to them
"Look at how many depressions happen under capitalism" I mean, it's far better than a country like the Soviet Union, who's entire existence was the equivalent of a capitalist recession. (USA FOUR TIMES higher GDP per capita than the Soviet Union in 1991)
"We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor-both black and white, here and abroad." -Martin Luther King Jr.
@@FilthyTrot Slavery in the US, Gulag labor camps in the Soviet Union. Capitalism has shown plenty of despicable aspects, MLK is right-on about that. But you are quoting this in a context to suggest a system like that in the Soviet Union is preferable. I recommend reading up on more history of the treatment of citizens (especially the Gulag camps) under the Soviet Union before becoming too confident about such a conclusion. I wish it were as simple as Communism = good, Capitalism = bad. Unfortunately, history is exceedingly more complex than that. But also fascinating the more you learn about it.
@@night6724 I know you're not responding to me, but to be fair to Earnest, one of the biggest motivating factors for the existence of slavery was the ability to profit economically from it's institution within the framework of a Capitalist social system. I agree that certainly does not mean something like Communism is preferable. But lets not view Capitalism just with rose-colored glasses either.
@@night6724 Capitalism is what perpetuated slavery. The profit southern slave owners made from slavery was one of their biggest justifications for conserving it. They argued for the right of a select few to prosper and hoard wealth at the expense of the downtrodden, like you're doing right now.
@@night6724 Slavery significantly benefitted the cotton businesses of slave owners. That's why slavery was so beloved among the capitalists of the time. They defended the freedom to reduce the freedom of others in the name of profit, just like the capitalists of today. They now treat basic human rights like health and education as commodities like they treated human beings as commodities in the 1800s.
I have no problem with people calling out politicians and their flaws, but you really took it easy on the some of the more recent belonging to one side. You did get one thing recent absolutely correct, people were completely fed up with 2 party, lifelong politicians and that is exactly how Trump got in. As far as historical reflections of presidents, I think you did an excellent job. I would like to see you revisit this list again in the future.
Trump got in on the empty promise that him not being a lifelong slimy politician would make a difference People chose to ignore the fact that he was a lifelong slimy businessman, which are the same people who already run the government anyways.
1969 was the closest time the US ever had to get rid of the Electoral College. The Bayh-Celler Amendment was brought up because Nixon won 115 more Electoral Votes than his opponent Hubert Humphrey, despite there being a less than 1 pp margin in the Popular Vote. It did not pass, as expected.
There were 2 other amendments apart from this that proposed getting rid of the system: the first was the Every Vote Counts Amendment, which actually proposed the popular way of voting in a POTUS and VPOTUS. It was introduced twice in 2005 and 2009 by Representative Gene Green, a Dem from Texas. It died in the 111th Congress. Then there was the Boxer-Cohen Proposals, which were named after their sponsors: Senator Barbara Boxer from CA and Representative Steve Cohen, who introduced a companion resolution. It didn't get as much attention.
@@DDub04 But that (sadly) didn't happen. Instead, a less than decent president named Woodrow Wilson got the power. I'm not saying that Wilson was the worst, but there has been much better than him

its stupid though people think Washington owned slaves. he didnt. his wife did. they was all her slaves or free black people brought in when he was president to do cleaning and cooking so on.
Look, I'm a Democrat, but this video has some VERY strong anti-capitalist and somewhat isolationist bias. This is not a purely-informative video without strong opinions. My issue is that it is framed as being impartial when it in reality has an agenda.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan this video was bias how can you tell when they know the video was bias For example the person in comments saying there going use for there students how can the students know that it's not opinion Also you did get wrong a lot information with trump and Obama Also you if this history about the president video you don't need bring up capitalist vs socialism and give your opinion and say is facts
@@crazyn0074 The comment about Obama being the one to put people in cages instead of Trump is not true. Trump did it in April of 2018 (a little over a year after Trump was sworn in), and mostly ended the practice in the latter half of his term. Here's an article if you want to know more about it: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44303556 Edit: Capitalization
With most of the other Presidents, you made an attempt to say some good and bad things, but with Trump, your bias was clearly showing. To be clear, I’ll name a few examples: 1. You say “America First” is similar to 1930’s fascism. Trump made it clear that he was saying he believed representatives of all countries had a duty to represent their people’s interest at the negotiating table. He said he would be “America First” because he would be the President of the United States of America. Please explain how you came to the conclusion that representing your constituents is somehow fascist? 2. The Paris Agreement is not inherently “scientific.” 3. Regarding Charlottesville, you say that “he failed to outright denounce [white supremacists].” In that same press conference, he said: “And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally.“ The word “totally” clearly means the same thing as the word “outright” in context. You are outright lying here. 4. While Trump made a big deal about “The Wall,” he wasn’t the first to support the idea. Walls and fences were voted for by both then Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. Over 100 miles of wall was built under Obama. 5. COVID “Experts”: Dr. Fauci lied about masks early on, telling people they didn’t need them. He later admitted that he was being deceptive to avoid a rush on N95 masks. Now, he’s flipped to saying that two masks would be great. We were told that shutdowns would only last two weeks. Many areas of the country are still in lock down status. Over 1,000 doctors signed off that the BLM protests were more important than pandemic restrictions. Democrats claim that Trump did basically nothing, but the same Democrats called Trump xenophobic when he restricted travel January 31st. Democrats actively told everyone to “join the crowds” in February (Nancy Pelosi). Democrats sent COVID patients to Nursing homes, greatly increasing deaths. 6. You mention Trump’s pardons. All Presidents pardon people when they are leaving. Why only mention Trump? To be clear, I’m not a Trump supporter. I never once voted for him. I just can’t stand the bias and vitriol I keep seeing. You yourself mention the “bubbles” created by the algorithms. I make comments like this as a small attempt to “pop” the bubble in hope that maybe we can all get along and understand each other better.
A lot to debunk here, so here I go! 1. Donald's "America First" slogan was very similar to the Nazi slogan, "Deutschland über Alles". If you failed to see the connection, well, then I'm afraid that's on you. 2. The Paris Climate Agreement is scientific. If you can't even come up with a single reason to suggest why it's not scientific, then quit babbling about pretending to know about science on the internet. 3. He points out that Donald failed to condemn white supremacists and neo Nazis for their attack on protesters at the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Now you're suggesting that he did not initially fail to condemn them, even though that's incorrect. The fact that he said they should be condemned in a later press conference due to the controversy of his failure to condemn the white supremacists does not change the fact that he failed to condemn them in the first place. According to you, if someone apologises for breaking your TV, they never broke your TV? 4. Obama and Clinton did indeed have stupid ideas about escalating the already harsh US immigration policy, but that does not alter the fact that Donald made a huge deal in his campaign about building a wall and needing to further tighten immigration policy. Sounds like a whataboutism to me. 5. When did the author of the video praise Obama's border policy and inhumane treatment of immigrants? I agree with you that Obama's immigration policy was awful and inhumane, like Joe Biden's and that of other US Presidents, but that does not change the fact that it was horrible under Donald. He brought up Donald's barbaric immigration policy and his "zero tolerance" doctrine because his continuation and escalation of the harsh US immigration measures was a huge controversy in his Presidency. That, and he had made a huge deal in his campaign criticising immigrants and talking about the need to make immigration policy even harsher. I don't see why you find that difficult to understand why he put particular emphasis on Donald's policy. You seem to be performing a whataboutism by suggesting that the video supports the immigration policy of other US Presidents. I have no idea where you got that impression. He mentioned the horrific treatment of refugees under Donald because that was one of the most infamous controversies of his administration. I do think this video should have brought up the immigration policies of other Presidents, but it seems that because you're unable to deny the horrible treatment of immigrants under Donald's administration, you're just resorting to criticising other Presidents' immigration policies for the sake of taking attention away from him. 5. Donald's shambles of a response to the coronavirus pandemic is possibly the defining feature of his Presidency. The failed response of the US to the pandemic came from Donald's narcissistic incompetence in valuing his own opinion over that of experts, calling to 'liberate' American states from pandemic restrictions that protect lives, labelling the coronavirus as a "hoax", politicised by Democrats and advertising false cures for the virus he saw on Fox News. You don't have to be an "expert" to recognise Donald's chaotic handling of the pandemic. You seem to bring up Anthony Fauci and Democrats for no reason. This video is not about Anthony Fauci, nor is it about Democrats' Covid advice. Once again, you just seem to be trying to bring up the mistakes of other people just for the sake of taking the attention off of Donald's mistakes, since you're unable to actually refute Donald's lousy response to the pandemic. 6. If you think the pardons were a bad feature of his Presidency, then you're free to express you're opinion. And again I agree that there was plenty of bad stuff about other Presidents that the video didn't cover. But it's impossible to fit everything in one video. The author of the video was explicity willing to touch on a lot of the bad stuff done by other US Presidents: he brought up Franklin D Roosevelt's concentration camps for Asian Americans, he brought up the horrific bombings of Vietnam under Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, he brought up Bill Clinton's and Barack Obama's tax cuts for big corporations, and he brought up Obama's drone strikes. In the case of Donald, there was a lot more to criticise, because, to put it quite simply, it's difficult to stay objective when it comes to far-right populists and extremists. If this video criticised neo Nazis or the KKK, I think certain groups of people would also be accusing the author of being too biased. It might be too much to ask to want a video to be completely free from a political stance.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan I like the video but I felt like there was too much negativity towards Trump. I get it he is controversial as hell but you need to show that there is no biased opinion, just the facts. Like for example Richard Nixon is by no means a perfect president. The Watergate scandal and him violating the Logan act prove that. But he was the president that founded the environmental protection agency, signed the title nine amendment desegregating schools and institutions, pulled the US out of Vietnam, and can claim to be the only president that used a famous rockstar (Elvis Presley) as a spy for US intelligence!!! So like I said good video but there was so much bias against Trump please reconsider doing him.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan also you mentioned about the “tax breaks to the wealthy under Trump”, do you realize that the tax break was also for every small business across the United States right? Like I have family members who have small businesses that noticed huge tax breaks in the four years while Trump was president and all my family is Latino!!!!
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan as for the Charlottesville incident he did denounce white supremacy. As a matter of fact he had been denouncing white supremacy many many different times but the media never really puts that on because as the old saying goes if it bleeds it leads
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan also instead of just showing the Covid deaths why don’t you also show the The numbers of how many people recovered guess who’s also number one? The USA!!! I get it the Covid situation could’ve been handled better but you can’t just show numbers of deaths without showing that he had done something about it. Like why didn’t you also mention in your video that under his presidency the vaccine for Covid had finally been developed in record time?
I'd prefer he didn't criticize them at all, rather trying to let the viewer come to their own conclusions. To add to this, I realise that having zero bias is nearly impossible, but openly criticizing someone in a video that's presenting itself as factual is something I'd rather not have. Anyways, I still agree with his criticisms it's just that I'd rather the video be wholly unbiased.

About the “fine people on both sides” thing, 10 seconds after he said that he stated bluntly. “I do not mean the white supremacists and neo-nazis, they should be condemned totally.” To this day that’s one of the biggest lies I’ve seen the media push.

@@brax7152 'when he says fine people on both sides, he means the people who are protesting the statue, and the people who are protesting those protesters'. After saying there were "fine people on both sides" at the Unite Right rally, Donald tried to take back what he said by claiming that he wasn't talking about neo Nazis or white supremacists, which is ridiculous. If someone chooses to march alongside people who wave Nazi flags and chant Nazi slogans, I think that person loses all credibility in claiming not to be a Nazi. It was a neo Nazi rally. There were swastikas and white supremacist symbols as far as the eye could see at the rally. The name of the rally was 'Unite the Right'. If you want to unite with neo Nazis, I'd say you are a Nazi, regardless of what Donald thinks. ua-cam.com/video/zcoYKuoiUrY/v-deo.html I would quit being an apologist for right wing extremists and fascists. Just a little warning: defending and making excuses for fascism will not end well.
To be fair, one thing being less bad than another doesn't mean it's necessarily good, or that we shouldn't look into alternative ways of doing things. Admittedly, though, him simply saying "Capitalism" was a bit iffy, considering how broad the definition and types of capitalism can get.

This must be updated as Trump wins the 2024 US presidential election, making him and Grover Cleveland the 2 US Presidents to serve 2 non-consecutive terms.
President Polk was my personal favourite. He was a workaholic who achieved so much for the country in a single term, but it came at a price as he died from exhaustion during a chlorea epidemic just three months after leaving office when he was just 53 years old.
Polk had gallstones when he was a teenager. He had stomach problems early in life. He also is one of my favorite presidents. Love that he said what he was going to do and did it in 4 years.
Every president in American history was far from perfect "some less than others" but whatever their shortcomings were actions will always speak louder than words like you said.
Nobody is perfect, and with the two party system we have, the person elected won’t ever be the best choice regardless of the party that won. We could really use a strong and good president right now to help unify the country after the chaos of the pandemic and the scandals and the racial and foreign tension.
But being president is one of the most important positions in our country, Wether your political or not it is an important part of our nation and being in power is important to keeping the country together
Beg to differ. The Electoral College system isn’t hilariously over complicated. Each state has a number of electors according to their population. We are not a Democracy. Our founders deliberately and unanimously rejected the idea of a democracy because they knew history and understood human nature. We are a Constitutional Republic. If we had a democratic election system, the 3-4 most populous states would elect the president.
thats nearly what already happens. california, texas, new york, etc have far more votes than smaller states like wyoming, alaska, vermont, etc. because they have a far greater population, so they have far greater a say in who is elected president. california's 55 electoral votes trump wyoming's 3 votes. though it should be noted that smaller states are actually overrepresented because every state receives +2 electoral votes for their senate seats (electoral votes are assigned to a state based on the number of congressional districts + number of senate seats) and so because of this states receive a minimum of 3 electoral votes when (if the goal is equal representation) they should receive just 1. because of this, wyoming for example receives 1 electoral vote for roughly every 192,000 people and california receives one vote for roughly every 718,000 people. im comparing the smallest and largest state to demonstrate my point better, but it does expose that a person in a smaller state actually has *more* voting power. this skew towards smaller states is essentially the main reason why a president can win with a minority of the national popular vote, and you are right in saying that this is what the founding fathers intended and knew would occur; they weren't creating a democracy, they were creating a republic. personally, i agree with the idea that 1 person should have 1 vote, with no vote being more or less powerful than any other. people claim that big cities/states decide elections, and thats true to an extent and it is democracy at work, but it is also a little misleading i think. giving small states greater representation would give them more of a say in whose elected and what legislation is passed (ie. stop them from being ignored by larger states). but i believe that creates an inherit inequality in the system that is unfair towards larger states, and a fair democracy would represent everyone equally. should white people be given less voting power because as the majority, they will 'decide' the election and stop minorities from having a say? that is racism, people will cry. but wouldnt giving rural, smaller states be just the same logic, just less morally egregious? geographic inequalities are inevitable in a democracy, and a logical, i believe, would not favour one geographic area over another. to me, this seems more of an inherit problem with democracy based on geographic areas if anything, and the solution that would solve it is proportional representation (ie. scraping geographic electoral divisions entirely.) though this system has its own controversies (cough cough weimar germany). (though modern day germany uses a similar system).
I guarantee if it were turned around and the conservatives were the ones winning the popular vote but losing the college, it would be a whole other story. It's easy to be like "sucks for you" when your candidate loses the popular vote but still wins. Trump lost his shit when he lost fair and square, imagine how livid he'd be if he won the most votes but still lost reelection.
Wow. You simultaneously describe the US as 'not a Democracy' and a 'Constitutional Republic'. A constitutional republic is a form of democracy, dolt. Really doesn't take a lot to get you to contradict yourself, does it? LMAO. If you can't even agree with the simple concept of democracy, then quit pretending to be the "land of the free". If you're so disrespectful of your country that can't even comprehend the idea that the majority of the population should get to decide who their leader is, then quit babbling on the internet.

While i dont agree with some of the subjective elements in this video, John D my guy you did an awesome job on this one. Keep making the good content. much love from Kenya !
if you are going to make a video on politics, then actually educate yourself and find all the information, at 50:40 you mention the “both sides” speech. But if you look at the entire quote “you had very fine people on both sides... and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. “ you can clearly see trump condemning them
You know what confuses the hell out of me? Why would any rational person assume that when he said "good people on both sides" he meant that nazi's were good people? It's so stupid!
10:28 You didn't mention John Adams' appointment of midnight judges, resulting in Marbury v Madison (1803) which is okay -- but you should also note here that Van Buren, with a week left in his term, nominated a new Supreme Court Justice (Peter Daniel) just one day after a sitting justice died, and got that Justice confirmed and sworn in 1 day before William Henry Harrison took office, denying our first-ever Whig President the chance to have one Supreme Court nominee. Daniel took office 10 months later. Thanks, Marty!

Thank you, Mr. Ruddy, for creating this video. I writhed through it 3 times & nearly had my 1st panic attack in anticipation of what you'd say about TR & LBJ.

Hello dear how are you doing on my god you are looking very beautiful,it's really nice meeting you,how's your family and friends,i hope everything is going fine there,i hope to hear from you soon?
I can tell what side this guy favors.😏 Although he wasn’t hard enough of George W. Bush, and was waaaayyy too soft on Obama. Also was a little too hard on Trump in my opinion. Actually factually wrong on some of his points on Trump. He fell into the reading headlines trap. He’s wrong about BLM as well. Trump is a very divisive figure, so often times people spit their opinions before learning the facts.
We try to be objective in these areas, and it's tough, Barack Obama had 30 big scandals that we knew of five years ago, and the biggest ones are the ones coming out now, years into the future. The US media has a total news blackout on ANYTHING negative about Obama. But the news coverage on Donald Trump was full power, tall tower, and 93 percent sour.
I was actually gonna comment on the… well I have to be brutally honest here apparently incredibly partisan video in terms of Trump and as others have pointed out factually incorrect.

@@CommunistCreeper Reagan is the one president who nearly won every single state in the US. What the fuck you talking about? Almost everyone during the era LOVED him because he was an Anti-Communist Crusader. Trickle-down economics was by far his worst idea, but nearly everything else was a good idea. If he didn't restart the arms race, the Soviets would've done it anyways.
I'm surprised how much he doesn't like capitalism. Everyone knows that it has problems, but it's ultimately a force of good in world history. Perhaps he just doesn't like certain forms of capitalism like the Trickle Down theory, which makes sense, but he doesn't really explain what he means. He just sneaks in a little bit of anti-capitalism wherever he finds an interesting thing that's bad about it.
@@Void_Wars No. When you dislike something, we call the action of disliking that thing being biased. If a person doesn't like roses because they jumped in a bush of them as a kid then they have a negative memory that they associate with roses, meaning that they are biased. He sneaks in anti-capitalism whenever he wants even though he really doesn't have to, so I'm interested in why exactly he does that. Everyone can hate something or another about capitalism, but people don't usually go out of there way to attack it while in the middle of explaining other topics. Also, who the heck is PJW?
yes, and the objective facts show that trump is a bad president. only thing i disagree with was the charlottesville point bc that quote gets taken out of context, he condemns the neo nazis in the next sentence
Small correction; the Capital of the USA was founded as “the District of Colombia,” people started calling it “Washington” after our first President in the 19th century, which is why maps put “Washington, the District of Colombia” on it to this day. That’s where “Washington DC” comes from. Also because we eventually admitted a state called “Washington” and needed some specificity.
"A new federal city was then constructed on the north bank of the Potomac, to the east of Georgetown. On September 9, 1791, the three commissioners overseeing the capital's construction named the city in honor of President Washington. The same day, the federal district was named Columbia (a feminine form of "Columbus"), which was a poetic name for the United States commonly in use at that time.[30][31] Congress held its first session there on November 17, 1800.[32][33] Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 which officially organized the district and placed the entire territory under the exclusive control of the federal government. Further, the area within the district was organized into two counties: the County of Washington to the east (or north) of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west (or south).[34] After the passage of this Act, citizens living in the district were no longer considered residents of Maryland or Virginia, which therefore ended their representation in Congress.[35]" ... Congress passed the Organic Act of 1871, which repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, abolished Washington County, and created a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia.[45]" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Foundation en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Retrocession_and_the_Civil_War

For those curious about why many presidents had slaves while speaking against it, they had a “gradual emancipation” mindset where their conditions would be improved upon overtime until they eventually were the same as ordinary citizens. Thomas Jefferson and others felt that abolishing it completely and immediately would devastate the economy and cause tensions to rise.

President Tyler is also the ONLY U.S. president who didn't receive the honor of all U.S. flags being lowered to half-mast upon his death. This was because, when he passed away in 1862, the U.S. Civil War was raging, and Tyler had just won a seat in the Confederate States House of Representatives. President Lincoln therefore understandably refused to order all American flags lowered in his remembrance.

There's a slight inaccuracy about George Washington, while George Washington did include in his will that his slaves would not be freed until after his wife Martha's death, Martha Washington ended up making the decision to have his slaves freed early. Washington's slaves were freed in 1801, Martha Washington passed away in 1802

HEALTHCARE IS LIDERALLY USSR STALIN GEORGE ORWELL 1984!!!!!".
capitalism is a great system when the people running it are ethical and actually follow the rules, but instead in the real world, these people dont do anything with their money or assets and instead choose to hoard them as they watch their number rise on a forbes chart. its stupid to think anybody actually needs 10 billion dollars to survive in their day to day life. a billion dollars is such an unbelievably incomprehensible number its insane.
ua-cam.com/video/0J6BQDKiYyM/v-deo.html
these people at the top are 1. not paying taxes by abusing the multitude of loopholes they pay congress to keep open every year, 2. do not spend their money or liquidate any assets and 3. most do not donate shit
when there are 3 or 4 massive companies strangling smaller businesses and people hoarding wealth, you no longer have a free market, you have corporate socialism. because even if the companies make a massive fucking blunder and lose everything, they can be comfortable knowing that the government which they have paid off will be happy to spend the tax dollars of the american public bailing them out (see 2008 bailouts)
capitalism is a great system that drives innovation and can lift people from poverty, when it is working as intended and not being exploited, and unfortunately in the US, its been exploited for decades. in a moral and just society, people should not be dying because they are too poor to live, we need to broaden the social safety net. what is more patriotic? bowing down to some corporate overlord who is in essence plundering the US market to make as much money as possible and giving nothing back in return? or helping your fellow american live a happier and more comfortable life?
you can decide.
@@cayorne I have not engaged in a good debate on UA-cam in awhile now. Let’s dive in. Now, John confirmed that he is a socialist when he responded to a comment that critiqued socialism with him saying along the lines of “at least we don’t do blah blah blah”. So I can call him a command economy stooge, because he is one. I did not call him a commie. Unlike most people I know the difference between communism and socialism
Sure a person does not need 10 billion dollars, but he can do whatever he wants with his money as long as it is legal. Also not subverting American interests. In the long run, capitalism is about making money for oneself, not charity. Which yes, can be annoying and harmful, but luckily we are mixed economy that has regulations so companies don’t con consumers and employees. Loopholes should be delt with, I can agree on that. I agree companies should not be bailed out to some degree.
How do you propose we deal with these massive companies?
“Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong” -Calvin Coolidge
These companies are very important to the American economy and could easily change your life for the worse if we destroy them too much. Apple phones would become more expensive, Amazon shipping increase in price, Microsoft systems longer to release and etc. Also thousands of workers in America that would have to be laid off if these companies become to small.
Poverty will always be around, but we can minimize it. Now I am not against to some government benefits to the poor, but taxing or regulating the living hell out of companies will not fix the problem. Giving and charity is more of a culture thing. If you want less poor on the streets encourage that. I always recommend the idea give companies tax breaks and benefits to the amount of charity they do. So they aren’t destroyed by government regulation and the have the encouragement to better communities for benefits. I would love to hear some ideas from ya.
the commonality of obesity is a recent phenomena, if it were the cause of market economy then it would have been like that for a very long time, the reason why so many people are obese is because so many of the cheapest foods nowadays are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and provide almost no nutritional value, and the (ever increasing) lower classes are eating this because its what's available to them
"Look at how many depressions happen under capitalism"
I mean, it's far better than a country like the Soviet Union, who's entire existence was the equivalent of a capitalist recession. (USA FOUR TIMES higher GDP per capita than the Soviet Union in 1991)
"We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor-both black and white, here and abroad."

@@FilthyTrot Slavery in the US, Gulag labor camps in the Soviet Union. Capitalism has shown plenty of despicable aspects, MLK is right-on about that.

@@night6724 I know you're not responding to me, but to be fair to Earnest, one of the biggest motivating factors for the existence of slavery was the ability to profit economically from it's institution within the framework of a Capitalist social system. I agree that certainly does not mean something like Communism is preferable. But lets not view Capitalism just with rose-colored glasses either.
@@night6724 Capitalism is what perpetuated slavery. The profit southern slave owners made from slavery was one of their biggest justifications for conserving it. They argued for the right of a select few to prosper and hoard wealth at the expense of the downtrodden, like you're doing right now.
@@night6724 Slavery significantly benefitted the cotton businesses of slave owners. That's why slavery was so beloved among the capitalists of the time. They defended the freedom to reduce the freedom of others in the name of profit, just like the capitalists of today. They now treat basic human rights like health and education as commodities like they treated human beings as commodities in the 1800s.

the first was the Every Vote Counts Amendment, which actually proposed the popular way of voting in a POTUS and VPOTUS. It was introduced twice in 2005 and 2009 by Representative Gene Green, a Dem from Texas. It died in the 111th Congress.
Then there was the Boxer-Cohen Proposals, which were named after their sponsors: Senator Barbara Boxer from CA and Representative Steve Cohen, who introduced a companion resolution. It didn't get as much attention.

Here's an article if you want to know more about it: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44303556
Edit: Capitalization
With most of the other Presidents, you made an attempt to say some good and bad things, but with Trump, your bias was clearly showing. To be clear, I’ll name a few examples:
1. You say “America First” is similar to 1930’s fascism. Trump made it clear that he was saying he believed representatives of all countries had a duty to represent their people’s interest at the negotiating table. He said he would be “America First” because he would be the President of the United States of America. Please explain how you came to the conclusion that representing your constituents is somehow fascist?
2. The Paris Agreement is not inherently “scientific.”
3. Regarding Charlottesville, you say that “he failed to outright denounce [white supremacists].” In that same press conference, he said: “And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally.“ The word “totally” clearly means the same thing as the word “outright” in context. You are outright lying here.
4. While Trump made a big deal about “The Wall,” he wasn’t the first to support the idea. Walls and fences were voted for by both then Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. Over 100 miles of wall was built under Obama.
5. COVID “Experts”: Dr. Fauci lied about masks early on, telling people they didn’t need them. He later admitted that he was being deceptive to avoid a rush on N95 masks. Now, he’s flipped to saying that two masks would be great. We were told that shutdowns would only last two weeks. Many areas of the country are still in lock down status. Over 1,000 doctors signed off that the BLM protests were more important than pandemic restrictions. Democrats claim that Trump did basically nothing, but the same Democrats called Trump xenophobic when he restricted travel January 31st. Democrats actively told everyone to “join the crowds” in February (Nancy Pelosi). Democrats sent COVID patients to Nursing homes, greatly increasing deaths.
6. You mention Trump’s pardons. All Presidents pardon people when they are leaving. Why only mention Trump?
To be clear, I’m not a Trump supporter. I never once voted for him. I just can’t stand the bias and vitriol I keep seeing. You yourself mention the “bubbles” created by the algorithms. I make comments like this as a small attempt to “pop” the bubble in hope that maybe we can all get along and understand each other better.
Bravo 👏
🤓🤓sussy snowflake libertarian
Was looking for this comment
And yet America First has been a KKK catchphrase since the 20's.
A lot to debunk here, so here I go!
1. Donald's "America First" slogan was very similar to the Nazi slogan, "Deutschland über Alles". If you failed to see the connection, well, then I'm afraid that's on you.
2. The Paris Climate Agreement is scientific. If you can't even come up with a single reason to suggest why it's not scientific, then quit babbling about pretending to know about science on the internet.
3. He points out that Donald failed to condemn white supremacists and neo Nazis for their attack on protesters at the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Now you're suggesting that he did not initially fail to condemn them, even though that's incorrect. The fact that he said they should be condemned in a later press conference due to the controversy of his failure to condemn the white supremacists does not change the fact that he failed to condemn them in the first place. According to you, if someone apologises for breaking your TV, they never broke your TV?
4. Obama and Clinton did indeed have stupid ideas about escalating the already harsh US immigration policy, but that does not alter the fact that Donald made a huge deal in his campaign about building a wall and needing to further tighten immigration policy. Sounds like a whataboutism to me.
5. When did the author of the video praise Obama's border policy and inhumane treatment of immigrants? I agree with you that Obama's immigration policy was awful and inhumane, like Joe Biden's and that of other US Presidents, but that does not change the fact that it was horrible under Donald. He brought up Donald's barbaric immigration policy and his "zero tolerance" doctrine because his continuation and escalation of the harsh US immigration measures was a huge controversy in his Presidency. That, and he had made a huge deal in his campaign criticising immigrants and talking about the need to make immigration policy even harsher. I don't see why you find that difficult to understand why he put particular emphasis on Donald's policy. You seem to be performing a whataboutism by suggesting that the video supports the immigration policy of other US Presidents. I have no idea where you got that impression. He mentioned the horrific treatment of refugees under Donald because that was one of the most infamous controversies of his administration. I do think this video should have brought up the immigration policies of other Presidents, but it seems that because you're unable to deny the horrible treatment of immigrants under Donald's administration, you're just resorting to criticising other Presidents' immigration policies for the sake of taking attention away from him.
5. Donald's shambles of a response to the coronavirus pandemic is possibly the defining feature of his Presidency. The failed response of the US to the pandemic came from Donald's narcissistic incompetence in valuing his own opinion over that of experts, calling to 'liberate' American states from pandemic restrictions that protect lives, labelling the coronavirus as a "hoax", politicised by Democrats and advertising false cures for the virus he saw on Fox News. You don't have to be an "expert" to recognise Donald's chaotic handling of the pandemic. You seem to bring up Anthony Fauci and Democrats for no reason. This video is not about Anthony Fauci, nor is it about Democrats' Covid advice. Once again, you just seem to be trying to bring up the mistakes of other people just for the sake of taking the attention off of Donald's mistakes, since you're unable to actually refute Donald's lousy response to the pandemic.
6. If you think the pardons were a bad feature of his Presidency, then you're free to express you're opinion. And again I agree that there was plenty of bad stuff about other Presidents that the video didn't cover. But it's impossible to fit everything in one video. The author of the video was explicity willing to touch on a lot of the bad stuff done by other US Presidents: he brought up Franklin D Roosevelt's concentration camps for Asian Americans, he brought up the horrific bombings of Vietnam under Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, he brought up Bill Clinton's and Barack Obama's tax cuts for big corporations, and he brought up Obama's drone strikes. In the case of Donald, there was a lot more to criticise, because, to put it quite simply, it's difficult to stay objective when it comes to far-right populists and extremists. If this video criticised neo Nazis or the KKK, I think certain groups of people would also be accusing the author of being too biased. It might be too much to ask to want a video to be completely free from a political stance.

@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan I like the video but I felt like there was too much negativity towards Trump. I get it he is controversial as hell but you need to show that there is no biased opinion, just the facts. Like for example Richard Nixon is by no means a perfect president. The Watergate scandal and him violating the Logan act prove that. But he was the president that founded the environmental protection agency, signed the title nine amendment desegregating schools and institutions, pulled the US out of Vietnam, and can claim to be the only president that used a famous rockstar (Elvis Presley) as a spy for US intelligence!!! So like I said good video but there was so much bias against Trump please reconsider doing him.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan also you mentioned about the “tax breaks to the wealthy under Trump”, do you realize that the tax break was also for every small business across the United States right? Like I have family members who have small businesses that noticed huge tax breaks in the four years while Trump was president and all my family is Latino!!!!

thats nearly what already happens. california, texas, new york, etc have far more votes than smaller states like wyoming, alaska, vermont, etc. because they have a far greater population, so they have far greater a say in who is elected president. california's 55 electoral votes trump wyoming's 3 votes. though it should be noted that smaller states are actually overrepresented because every state receives +2 electoral votes for their senate seats (electoral votes are assigned to a state based on the number of congressional districts + number of senate seats) and so because of this states receive a minimum of 3 electoral votes when (if the goal is equal representation) they should receive just 1. because of this, wyoming for example receives 1 electoral vote for roughly every 192,000 people and california receives one vote for roughly every 718,000 people. im comparing the smallest and largest state to demonstrate my point better, but it does expose that a person in a smaller state actually has *more* voting power. this skew towards smaller states is essentially the main reason why a president can win with a minority of the national popular vote, and you are right in saying that this is what the founding fathers intended and knew would occur; they weren't creating a democracy, they were creating a republic.
personally, i agree with the idea that 1 person should have 1 vote, with no vote being more or less powerful than any other. people claim that big cities/states decide elections, and thats true to an extent and it is democracy at work, but it is also a little misleading i think. giving small states greater representation would give them more of a say in whose elected and what legislation is passed (ie. stop them from being ignored by larger states). but i believe that creates an inherit inequality in the system that is unfair towards larger states, and a fair democracy would represent everyone equally. should white people be given less voting power because as the majority, they will 'decide' the election and stop minorities from having a say? that is racism, people will cry. but wouldnt giving rural, smaller states be just the same logic, just less morally egregious? geographic inequalities are inevitable in a democracy, and a logical, i believe, would not favour one geographic area over another. to me, this seems more of an inherit problem with democracy based on geographic areas if anything, and the solution that would solve it is proportional representation (ie. scraping geographic electoral divisions entirely.) though this system has its own controversies (cough cough weimar germany). (though modern day germany uses a similar system).
I guarantee if it were turned around and the conservatives were the ones winning the popular vote but losing the college, it would be a whole other story. It's easy to be like "sucks for you" when your candidate loses the popular vote but still wins. Trump lost his shit when he lost fair and square, imagine how livid he'd be if he won the most votes but still lost reelection.
Wow. You simultaneously describe the US as 'not a Democracy' and a 'Constitutional Republic'. A constitutional republic is a form of democracy, dolt. Really doesn't take a lot to get you to contradict yourself, does it? LMAO. If you can't even agree with the simple concept of democracy, then quit pretending to be the "land of the free". If you're so disrespectful of your country that can't even comprehend the idea that the majority of the population should get to decide who their leader is, then quit babbling on the internet.
You can’t expect a leftist to like the Electoral College. And he has to lie about it being overly complicated to get people on his side.
The Electoral College still feels like a serious downgrade from Constitutional monarchy!

10:28 You didn't mention John Adams' appointment of midnight judges, resulting in Marbury v Madison (1803) which is okay -- but you should also note here that Van Buren, with a week left in his term, nominated a new Supreme Court Justice (Peter Daniel) just one day after a sitting justice died, and got that Justice confirmed and sworn in 1 day before William Henry Harrison took office, denying our first-ever Whig President the chance to have one Supreme Court nominee. Daniel took office 10 months later. Thanks, Marty!

Thank you, Mr. Ruddy, for creating this video. I writhed through it 3 times & nearly had my 1st panic attack in anticipation of what you'd say about TR & LBJ. Having survived that, I stewed for a day or 2 and ended up buying the 1st of 2 seasons of HBO's "John Adams" (for $39.99 US + tax) from UA-cam.
It’s such an excellent series! That’s where I learned about Adams’ and Jefferson’s bizarre death day coincidence!
Ummm, John D Ruddy, remember what Sherlock Holmes said about coincidence? BTW, when you update your Excellent program -- there's no Period in Harry S Truman's name. His middle initial isn't a word, according to his Mum. It's just a letter.
Hello dear how are you doing on my god you are looking very beautiful,it's really nice meeting you,how's your family and friends,i hope everything is going fine there,i hope to hear from you soon?
I can tell what side this guy favors.😏 Although he wasn’t hard enough of George W. Bush, and was waaaayyy too soft on Obama. Also was a little too hard on Trump in my opinion. Actually factually wrong on some of his points on Trump. He fell into the reading headlines trap. He’s wrong about BLM as well. Trump is a very divisive figure, so often times people spit their opinions before learning the facts.
We try to be objective in these areas, and it's tough, Barack Obama had 30 big scandals that we knew of five years ago, and the biggest ones are the ones coming out now, years into the future. The US media has a total news blackout on ANYTHING negative about Obama. But the news coverage on Donald Trump was full power, tall tower, and 93 percent sour.

I'm surprised how much he doesn't like capitalism. Everyone knows that it has problems, but it's ultimately a force of good in world history. Perhaps he just doesn't like certain forms of capitalism like the Trickle Down theory, which makes sense, but he doesn't really explain what he means. He just sneaks in a little bit of anti-capitalism wherever he finds an interesting thing that's bad about it.
Yea...
@@lucasharvey8990 if you use PJW as a source, then it’s your fault that you see him as “biased”.
@@Void_Wars No. When you dislike something, we call the action of disliking that thing being biased.

He sneaks in anti-capitalism whenever he wants even though he really doesn't have to, so I'm interested in why exactly he does that. Everyone can hate something or another about capitalism, but people don't usually go out of there way to attack it while in the middle of explaining other topics. Also, who the heck is PJW?

Small correction; the Capital of the USA was founded as “the District of Colombia,” people started calling it “Washington” after our first President in the 19th century, which is why maps put “Washington, the District of Colombia” on it to this day. That’s where “Washington DC” comes from. Also because we eventually admitted a state called “Washington” and needed some specificity.
"A new federal city was then constructed on the north bank of the Potomac, to the east of Georgetown. On September 9, 1791, the three commissioners overseeing the capital's construction named the city in honor of President Washington. The same day, the federal district was named Columbia (a feminine form of "Columbus"), which was a poetic name for the United States commonly in use at that time.[30][31] Congress held its first session there on November 17, 1800.[32][33]
Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 which officially organized the district and placed the entire territory under the exclusive control of the federal government. Further, the area within the district was organized into two counties: the County of Washington to the east (or north) of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west (or south).[34] After the passage of this Act, citizens living in the district were no longer considered residents of Maryland or Virginia, which therefore ended their representation in Congress.[35]"
...
Congress passed the Organic Act of 1871, which repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, abolished Washington County, and created a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia.[45]"

For those curious about why many presidents had slaves while speaking against it, they had a “gradual emancipation” mindset where their conditions would be improved upon overtime until they eventually were the same as ordinary citizens. Thomas Jefferson and others felt that abolishing it completely and immediately would devastate the economy and cause tensions to rise.
