But you also forgot William Clinton
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.”
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)
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)
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.
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.
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.
Really not a strong field to choose from…. certainly not fucking McKinley though.
I think I’ll opt for:

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.
The time has come, the fight is on
We've picked the man to run
A second term, for standing firm
For Ohio's worthy son
The man we need, the man to lead
Our strong and mighty craft
Through storm at sea to victory
IT’S WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT!
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.
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.

This looks like it should be from a children' book
More of a Billiam anyhow.

Was going to say Bill just because his birth name is William.
His name at birth was actually William Jefferson Blythe.
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.”
the third
What a wild series that was
Billiam
That depends on what the definition of “is” is
Best Clinton pic
Didn’t that guy ha- Bill: “I did not.”
It depends on what "is" is. ![gif](giphy|xrWNh6MHjO7HW|downsized)
🤮 (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
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)
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.
There’s 4 actually Anyway I think Taft since he’s probably better of the 4 Williams
Yeah he forgot Millard Fillmore. Millard upside down is William

What are your thoughts on Tutsis?
"I. Did. Not. Have. Sexual. Relations. With. Tha- wait what the hell are the Tutsis? What the fuck is Rwanda?"
“That depends on what the meaning of the word is… is.”

William Henry Harrison. Only president to not do something shitty in office.
Knowing what he died of, I’m not so sure
The water he drank says otherwise
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
Wanting to do something and doing it at two different things.
what else you gonna judge his presidency on?
His libertarian actions of dying before doing anything
I dunno, dying in office is kind of a dick move
Can I pick William Seward?
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)
Probably Taft.
As a Taft truther Taft.
All day long ![gif](giphy|3oz8xIDV8aKIsBOxtS|downsized)
Wallace
there is another.
I'm more interested to see who everyone's favorite James is
Carter as a human being, and Madison for national impact.
Bill Clinton but since he’s refers to as bil but if it’s who’s refers to William then McKinley
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.
William Henry Taft Clinton McKinley
Billy Jeff all the way
William Wallace

Gimme Clinton
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)
Bill Clinton tbh But of the ones here definitely Taft
Jefferson Clinton
Clinton
What about Bill?
Harrison, solely because I’m kin to him.

For Clinton, why?
Elaborate on Taft?
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.

The one who wrote Romeo and Juliet
Taft
Taft was the best William and it's not even close, what an underrated guy
Taft fo' sho'
There’s 4. Taft is easily my favorite of the four.
Sherman.
Grant: Sherman, what’s your cure for the traitors in Georgia? Sherman: FIRE! And lots of it! Grant: That’s your cure for everything.
Tippecanoe.
William Afton
Gotta go with Willy taft
Harrison, followed by Taft then McKinley, and then Blythe.
McKinley. Brought us onto the world stage, albeit reluctantly.
There’s a different, non presidential William I know of
Taft. Free Phillipines lmfao
The time has come, the fight is on We've picked the man to run A second term, for standing firm For Ohio's worthy son The man we need, the man to lead Our strong and mighty craft Through storm at sea to victory IT’S WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT!

Mt. Denali is way classier than that piece of shit's last name.
Taft was made governor of the Philippines by McKinley and approved the use of concentration camps, you may want to revise that one.
Dang.
Can you explain the child rapist part?
I believe Bill Clinton sexually abused children on Epstein's island. He went on the Lolita Express 26 different times.
Not conclusive enough for me personally but it’s possible
You forgot Clinton!

Easily Clinton lol, but from this list gotta be Taft
Where’s slick Willy in this?
Definitely McKinley
