Who was the shadiest US president?

FDR or Truman. Close call

Truman is the arch war criminal, nuking Japan twice, a genocidal psychotic monster.

FDR intentionally set up Japan, provoked them into attacking Pearl Harbor and failed to tell Short & Kimmel, when he knew the bombing was about to begin. Read Day of Deceit which proves it. FDR intentionally allowed thousands of Americans to die at Pearl Harbor so he could get us into WW2 and have more Americans die.

Hard to tell which is worse, FDR and Truman, both genocidal, psychopaths. Shadiest? Well, they hid their genocidal plans and pretended to be courageous and humanitarians. That’s shady, over the top.

If Truman wasn’t around Iran would still be a democracy and not a Muslim state.

and Hiroshima…

Not saying Hiroshma didnt end a war.. but USA caused the middle east problems when they ousted the elected leader.. Their elected prime minister was going to audit and root out corruption on the oil companies.. USA couldnt have that.. nope.

1953 Iranian coup d’état – Wikipedia
Overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran The 1953 Iranian coup d’état , known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état ( Persian : کودتای ۲۸ مرداد ‎), was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of the Shah , Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953. [5] It was orchestrated by the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project [6] or ” Operation Ajax “) and the United Kingdom (under the name ” Operation Boot “). [7] [8] [9] [10] The clergy also played a considerable role. [11] Mosaddegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP ) and to limit the company’s control over Iranian oil reserves . [12] Upon the AIOC’s refusal to co-operate with the Iranian government, the parliament ( Majlis ) voted to nationalize Iran’s oil industry and to expel foreign corporate representatives from the country. [13] [14] [15] After this vote, Britain instigated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil to pressure Iran economically. [16] Initially, Britain mobilized its military to seize control of the British-built Abadan oil refinery , then the world’s largest, but Prime Minister Clement Attlee opted instead to tighten the economic boycott [17] while using Iranian agents to undermine Mosaddegh’s government. [18] : 3 Judging Mosaddegh to be unreliable and fearing a Communist takeover in Iran, UK prime minister Winston Churchill and the Eisenhower administration decided to overthrow Iran’s government, though the preceding Truman administration had opposed a coup, fearing the precedent that Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) involvement would set. [18] : 3 British intelligence officials’ conclusions and the UK government’s solicitations were instrumental in initiating and planning the coup, despite the fact that the U.S. government in 1952 had been considering unilateral action (without UK support) to assist the Mosaddegh government. [19] [20] [21] Following the coup in 1953, a government under General Fazlollah Zahedi was formed which allowed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , the last Shah of Iran ( Persian for an Iranian king), [22] to rule more firmly as monarch . He relied heavily on United States support to hold on to power. [13] [14] [15] [23] According to the CIA’s declassified documents and records, some of the most feared mobsters in Tehran were hired by the CIA to stage pro-Shah riots on 19 August. [5] Other men paid by the CIA were brought into Tehran in buses and trucks, and took over the streets of the city. [24] Between 200 [3] and 300 [4] people were killed because of the conflict. Mosaddegh was arrested, tried and convicted of treason by the Shah’s military court. On 21 December 1953, he was sentenced to three years in jail, then placed under house arrest for the remainder of his life. [25] : 280 [26] [27] Other Mosaddegh supporters were imprisoned, and several received the death penalty. [15] After the

Trump wanted to be shady buy was pretty inept.

Trump he stole from the American people, put his cronies in Secretary positions they wanted to destroy, hid Covid information because he wanted it to kill the citizens in blue states, incited an insurrection because he lost a free and fair election, allowed the Russians to effect the 2016 election, used his power to get his daughter multiple contracts in China, refused to give up his companies, rolled back environmental protections so his billionaire friends could make more money,, and many, many more crimes were committed that I don’t have time to list.

Andrew Jackson: His treatment of native americans was shameful. Many have committed crimes against them since but he started cheating natives out of land a decade before he ever took office and he had a financial interest in some of the lands he took. He also commited numerous war crimes in his time overseeing New Orleans, not even mentioning that he won the battle of New Orleans AFTER the war ended.
