Not even close.

I think Carter had it worse

There are some who would consider getting shot a bit more unlucky.

Becomes president without being elected.

HOW UNLUCKY.

He is in top 3 presidents for me.
He was dealt a crappy hand in a game he didn't want to play and managed to win not because he played an ace, but because a 2 would do.

no, Ford had it worse

>was never elected, he was appointed to replace Angew and be Nixon's VP.
>Nixon bails out
>ford has to cover for Nixon and has a hostile democrat congress
>ford sees south vietnam fall and can do nothing about it

I would think that Garfield is a shoe-in for the most unlucky president of all time.
>Be shot, not even by a political adversary, but by some psycho who thought you owed him a government job
>Wound is serious, but probably not fatal
>Doctors are so egregiously incompetent trying to find the bullet and all the exploratory surgery they do that they give you an infection that kills you.

you know when you hear about this you wonder if the conspiracy fags aren't right.
Not only do the guy who shoot you happen to be insane so none will believe his fairy tales about contractors, your doctors just happen to be so incompetent you got no chance of survival.

He got to preside over a strong post-war economy and got re-elected despite all the polls saying otherwise, seems like he was pretty fucking lucky even with Korea.

I feel bad for Garfield and Harding

Omitting Garfield & WHH who, Franklin Pierce was irrevocably emotionally ruined when their train derailed on their way to Washington D.C. killing his 11 year old son and throwing him and his wife into a state of depression that hung over him for the rest of his life.

Man, mid-1800's presidents had it the worst

>Buchanan aspired to be a president who would rank in history with George Washington.[1] His inability to address the sharply divided pro-slavery and anti-slavery partisans with a unifying principle on the brink of the Civil War has led to his consistent ranking by historians as one of the worst presidents in American history. Historians who participated in a 2006 survey voted his failure to deal with secession the worst presidential mistake ever made.[2]

Lincoln literally inherited a civil war. Buchanan himself told him "Sir, if you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed" when he left office, basically saying "good luck with this shit, sucker". Hard to get dealt a worse hand than that.
