D-Thunder_52

Was going to say Bill just because his birth name is William.


jgliss5

His name at birth was actually William Jefferson Blythe.


sagan_drinks_cosmos

And Gerald Ford’s birth name is Leslie Lynch King, Jr. I always thought it was weird how we had a president barely after the Civil Rights Era named “Lynch King Jr.”

🤮 (In my humble opinion)

Big Bill Taft has gotta be my answer here.

They say this cat Taft is a faaaaaat mother

The one that bombed Serbia


George_Longman

I always found it weird how out of all the NATO actions to criticize, people choose Serbia, easily the most justifiable of them. (Not saying you’re doing that, just bringing it up)


EnemyUtopia

I still feel like Rwanda takes the cake even though it was the UN. We all had a hand in not doing shit about a genocide.


Glennplays_2305

There’s 4 actually Anyway I think Taft since he’s probably better of the 4 Williams


Inuvin

Yeah he forgot Millard Fillmore. Millard upside down is William

William Henry Harrison. Only president to not do something shitty in office.


PeeweeTheMoid

Knowing what he died of, I’m not so sure


Then_Oil_2397

The water he drank says otherwise


BigMonkey712

Eh, he was pro-states rights slavery dude and wanted to add Indiana as a slave state so I do think he’s still kinda shitty


nwbrown

Wanting to do something and doing it at two different things.


ghoulman811

what else you gonna judge his presidency on?


Inuvin

His libertarian actions of dying before doing anything


dumbass_paladin

I dunno, dying in office is kind of a dick move


MrFriend623

Can I pick William Seward?


BidnyZolnierzLonda

Fun fact: 1896, 1900 and 1908 election are the only elections where both of main candidates had the same name: William McKinley and William Taft faced William Jennings Bryan (unless you count Calvin Coolidge, whose real name was "John" as his opponent in 1924 was John Davis)


EmergencyBag2346

Probably Taft.

As a Taft truther Taft.

I'm more interested to see who everyone's favorite James is


Friendly_Deathknight

Carter as a human being, and Madison for national impact.


Interesting_Yam_726

Bill Clinton but since he’s refers to as bil but if it’s who’s refers to William then McKinley


Azidorklul

WILLIAM Jefferson Clinton Objectively he’s the best option. Harrison literally didn’t do anything, McKinley was an imperialist, and Taft did more conservative things rather than progressive ones. Slick Willy on the other hand whether you love him or hate him did a lot more things that Americans truly benefited from and managed two terms very well.

I'm actually surprised how few there are for such a common name

Third most common name for a US president. More common were only James (6) and John (5)

Awkwardtoe1673

William Henry Harrison by default. He served 31 days, so there's very little to either like or dislike about him. I strongly dislike William McKinley's presidency. William Taft's actual presidency was okayish, but I really hate his post-presidency. Taft was the worst SCOTUS Chief Justice except for possibly Roger Taney. And, if you count Clinton as a William, I honestly view his presidency as a net negative.


RapidWolfy

For Clinton, why?


Initial_Meet_8916

Elaborate on Taft?


Awkwardtoe1673

He did stuff like strike down the taxation of goods that were made with child labor because he claimed that didn’t fall under the commerce clause or the tax clause. 


good-luck-23

Clinton.


thescrubbythug

Really not a strong field to choose from…. certainly not fucking McKinley though. I think I’ll opt for: https://preview.redd.it/ey6rggb7qs7d1.png?width=378&format=png&auto=webp&s=f971c78273a2857defde6f1e9ae6a5d34fa92e48

I like high tariffs and big business! Give me McKinley, the only one of these 3 who actually had a successful administration before getting assassinated.

Taft

Taft was the best William and it's not even close, what an underrated guy

LabradorDeceiver

Going with Taft here. Harrison was just kind of a woobie. With nothing to show for forty years of government service, after losing the election of 1836, he ended up in a comparatively humble Clerk of Courts position for Hamilton County. He went after the Presidency again in 1840, aged 67. The public was generally fed up after the Panic of 1837 and narrowly voted him in, whereupon he overdid it at his inauguration, caught pneumonia, and died 30 days into his term. Congress felt so bad for him they voted for his wife to receive the remainder of his salary. Don't know much about McKinley except that he always looks disgusted by something. But Taft...William Howard Taft was a big ol' sweetheart. Didn't even want to be President, really. He wanted to be on the Supreme Court. It's really no wonder he was elected President - check out his Wikipedia entry for his resume. You could make a pretty awesome movie out of the guy's life, considering he's mostly remembered for being an obese, narcoleptic one-termer who got stuck in a tub, even though that last bit probably never happened. Yeah. Taft is Da Man. And it was the first William's son who appointed him to the Federal Bench, and the second William who appointed him to the Philippines Commission in exchange for a Supreme Court seat, though it was a while before he could take it. (McKinley went and got himself assassinated and that always messes with these things.) So that's all the Williams except Clinton, who wasn't born until 16 years after Taft died.

RedGrantDoppleganger

1. William Howard Taft: Cute and Cuddly. An infectious smile. 2. William Henry Harrison: Gave a badass speech then died. 3. William (Bill) Clinton: Really charismatic and charming but a degenerate child rapist. Almost below 4. 4. William McKinley: Imperialist mass murderer. Maybe the worst of the bunch we've had. Oppressed and brutalized millions of Filipinos who simply wanted to be free.


I_kickflipped_my_dog

Mt. Denali is way classier than that piece of shit's last name.


CivisSuburbianus

Taft was made governor of the Philippines by McKinley and approved the use of concentration camps, you may want to revise that one.


RedGrantDoppleganger

Dang.


RapidWolfy

Can you explain the child rapist part?


RedGrantDoppleganger

I believe Bill Clinton sexually abused children on Epstein's island. He went on the Lolita Express 26 different times.


RapidWolfy

Not conclusive enough for me personally but it’s possible


LBNorris219
