Has to be the current POTUS simply because there are more people with more access to more places to post ridicule. Add to that the whole marketing drive for ‘engagement’ (especially ragebait) and AI, and you end up with a volume of ridicule greater than ever before possible in human history. In the future, perhaps we can get the bots to shout at one another somewhere easy for humans to ignore.
I love how even though your answer is “this one”, it’s not based off of angry emotion with nothing else behind it. You make a logical point where it’s hard to make the argument for any other president. It also means future presidents will probably break the current levels as more efficient technologies emerge.
Notice, the question was NOT “Who’s the most ridiculed POTUS in history by humans?”. There’s a lot of wiggle room for still being correct while also artificially stacking the deck. There’s a little over 8 billion humans on earth. You could create 88 billion bots, and now you’d have the bots united message of ridicule heavily outweigh and thus manipulate the narrative to other real humans.
“President Tom Smith is absolutely HATED by everybody…everyone online is saying it. It must be true.”
And now suddenly a real human has made up their political views, based on one corporate entity shaping the online message. That’s why musk bought twitter. You can claim bluesky and mastodon exist, and they do, but in the mainstream they do not replace twitter. Twitter is still the dominant way for that microblog style communication. bluesky and mastodon combined don’t come near their real numbers of twitter.
But how much of modern day twitter is actual real humans? See where I’m going with this?

My exact thought. Obama caught hell, but there’s more of us now and more of us engaged, in both politics and social media.
