If we had a president that could create novel mathematic proofs, I'd be happy to tolerate the arrogance at this point. At least there'd be some substance there.
I hope you would but…
The only intellectual that served as president in the last 100 years was Obama and we(1) shit all over him every day for “atrocities” such as wearing a brown suit.
(1) not me and probably not you but it was a national talking point for weeks
If you bump that up to 110 years you bring in Woodrow Wilson, one of the all-time worst presidents.
I’m curious how you came to that conclusion. While he’s certainly not in the pantheon of best presidents, he ends up around the 75th percentile in rankings by historians. Even subtracting a few spots, he’s nowhere near close to “one of the all-time worst“. Or are you faulting him for not resigning when incapacitated by a stroke?

WWI plus all the racism, including re-segregation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson_and_race#Segreg...)
I thought that was quite a fashionable suit, and wish I could pull off wearing something like that
I don’t have to imagine. https://www.proquest.com/docview/301464456/
