The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Carter built houses for 4 decades after his presidency mismanaged the Iran hostages, energy crisis, and 70s inflation (though I’m not sure he deserves credit for the last one).
Bush is ~~eating~~ playing with paint and hiding from his mismanagement of the 9/11 attacks and subsequent unrelated war he started.
That was mainly the Reagan campaign paying the terrorists to hold the hostages until Reagan could take credit.
He doesn't deserve the blame for either of them. He's one of if not THE most slandered US president in history.
