If you're talking about singular actions/inactions that altered world history and could've resulted very different in the long game, it's hard to ignore Truman at the end of WWII.

Our troops were on the ground in striking distance of the Reds when Berlin and Nazi Germany as a whole fell. Our troops were not only there, but ready to march east and finish off the beating heart of communism once and for all. My grandfather was there.

Truman pulled us out, declaring "the end" of WWII and proverbially kicking the communist can down the road feeling that Americans and troops were "weary from the war". Yes, Americans were tired. Yes, the troops were tired. But patriotic fervor was at a historical high, and everyone was willing to do their part to see it through to the end.

The above mindset no longer exists, and the flames of communism were allowed to spread worldwide unabated. The Cold War era and communist infiltration of America changed us to the core, to the point that we have outspoken pinkos leading "revolutionary" protests and riots from coast to coast in most states.

As far as worst president* ever? I was born during the Carter administration so I can only go by the history books on that one. But from what I know as fact, as far back as I can actually remember, there hasn't been a more inarguably Anti-American President* than Joseph Robinette Biden. Is that "worst"? In my opinion, absolutely. But the young pinkos have a different view. I think, however, that the average American is beginning to see how bad things are. Even in the 70s under Carter, our deficit did not exceed our net worth. Many presidents contributed to that being the case today, including Reagan and Trump, but NOT ONE of them has so recklessly spent and wasted tax money like Biden has. And it's not even close. We are literally bankrupt and still maxing out the credit cards making minimum payments.

We're on borrowed time.

The bit of slack I will cut Truman is that the US people had pretty much been done with the war by VE Day and we had struggles to push through to VJ Day.

I don’t see us pushing through Germany to Moscow and then hoping we don’t repeat all of Hitler’s mistakes from Barbarossa.
