Franklin Delano Roosevelt…

who was recently named America's second greatest president (after Abraham Lincoln) by a bunch of historians, was responsible for this:

From the extreme heat of the Gila River center in Arizona, to the biting winters of Heart Mountain in Wyoming, Japanese Americans were forced into hastily built barracks, with no insulation or privacy, and surrounded by barbed wire. They shared bathrooms and mess halls, and families of up to eight were squeezed into 20-by-25 foot (6-by-7.5 meter) rooms. Armed U.S. soldiers in guard towers ensured nobody tried to flee. 

Approximately two-thirds of the detainees were American citizens.

Seems like a pretty low bar to start with.

Biden ranked 14th, Trump last.
