#45 – DONALD TRUMP. Fed up with politicians, war heroes and scholars, almost half of voters were sold on Trump’s “Make America Great Again” package. Did we get a lemon? Only time will tell…but thanks for following along! Now I’m going to take a nap.
#44 – BARACK OBAMA. Despite the political divide, Americans came together on the internet where Obama quickly became the most thanked (and “thanked”) president of all time.
#43 – GEORGE W. BUSH. Unsatisfied with his one-term presidency, George H. W. Bush turned to still-developing cloning technology, creating “George W. Bush” to carry on in his footsteps.
#42– BILL CLINTON. In 1992, the MTV generation “rocked the vote,” which somehow translated into a saxophone-playing, pot-smoking (but not inhaling) president.
#41 – GEORGE H.W. BUSH. In the new era of soundbites, H.W.’s clever catchphrase might have gotten him elected… but it cost him the next one when he couldn’t deliver.
#40 – RONALD REAGAN. In 1981, America elected its first actor president, known for box office hits like “Knute Rockne, All American” and “Raging Roo 2: The Roo-venge”.
#38 – GERALD FORD. Given Ford’s reputation as simple-minded and bumbling, few realized he actually possessed cat-like reflexes.
#37 – RICHARD NIXON. In 1968, America wanted an executive-level bad boy, and “Tricky Dick” Nixon answered the call.
#35 – JOHN F. KENNEDY. Although he never got to see America put an astronaut on the moon, JFK led the “race for space” with gusto. He also loved trampolines.
#34 – DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. This five-star general didn’t mess around when it came to fireworks. Happy B-day America!
#33 – HARRY TRUMAN. Truman was the first president to live in a simulated reality, broadcast worldwide 24 hours a day.
#32 – FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. FDR did a lot during his four terms, but it was ending prohibition that cemented his legacy as “The Official President of Summer Pool Parties.”
#31 – HERBERT HOOVER. When the Great Depression hit, Hoover took to the road to cheer up the nation one comedy club at a time.
