Did you know that Donald Trump is officially set to become the 11th US president that didn't win re-election?

As Joe Biden becomes US President-elect, Republican incumbent Donald Trump is set to join the ranks of one-term US-President. Trump who defeated Hillary Clinton rode to the US presidency in 2016 with the slogan “Let’s make America Great Again”.

However, Americans have chosen to “Make America America Again” as Joe Biden won popular and electoral votes to become US president-elect. Trump’s presidency was among other things, marred for not adopting a more empathetic and scientific approach to the Covid-19 pandemic and upsetting US political climate with his four years of White House chaos.

The Heritage Times presents a list of other commanders-in-chief’s who lost their bid for a second four-year term in the White House.

John Adams 1797-1801

Let’s go wayback to the days of the founding fathers, did you know that America’s second president John Adams, only served one presidential term? He gave re-election a shot in 1800 but came in the third position behind Jefferson and Aaron Burr.

John Quincy Adams, 1825-1829

Nearly 25 years after John Adams lost his bid for re-election, his son John Quincy Adams assumed the office of the US presidency in 1825. Like his father, he stood no chance against strong opposition at the time from Andrew Jackson who denied him a second term.

Martin Van Buren, 1837-1841

We’ve got to admit that we feel sorry for Martin Van Buren. He was a loyal servant to Andrew Jackson during his eight years presidency, serving as secretary of state, then vice president. When Van Buren was eventually elected President, his administration bore the brunt of terrible economic policies initiated by Jackson. Efforts made by Van Buren to revive the economy proved abortive and he was voted out of office by Americans who had faith in William Henry Harrison.

Franklin Pierce, 1853-1857

Interestingly, Franklin Pierce wasn’t very popular among voters but was elected president in 1853. It was during his watch that “Bleeding Kansas” happened, a development which among other happenings, saw his party deny him re-election. Instead, they chose to nominate someone else.

Benjamin Harrison, 1889-1893

Harrison was a happy-go-lucky-politician who became the first presidential candidate to lose popular votes but win the electoral college. However, his presidency was ruined by tariff issues, a development which led to his defeat by the same president who he succeeded (defeated, to be frank) – Grover Cleveland.

William oward Taft, 1909-1913

Americans had reasons to believe in the continuity of a good presidency when William Howard was handpicked to succeed popular president Teddy Roosevelt. Taft was a skilled administrator with an excellent track record. However, he fell out of favour with the progressive wing of the Republican Party and didn’t win his bid for re-election. Taft who later became chief justice of the United States expressed love for his new job by writing “I don’t remember that I ever was President.”

Herbert Hoover, 1929-1933

Arguably the worst president in American history, Herbert Hoover is known to have exhibited too much incompetencies in one single term. It was during his watch that the stock market crashed, ushering the historical Great Depression. When Hoover he was eventually voted out of office, millions of Americans made homeless by the economic collapse were living in shantytowns dubbed “Hoovervilles.” How pathetic!

Gerald Ford, 1974 – 1977

It would be also interesting to note that Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr is the only US president and vice president that was not elected by the Electoral College. However, the republican lost his bid for re-election to Jimmy Carter. It would be hard to believe that he ran out of luck but it is what it is.

Jimmy Carter, 1977-1981

Yes, Jimmy Carter is a member of the one-term club and an impressive one at that. His presidency was marred by economic problems and the Iran hostage crisis. Carter’s loss of re-election bid didn’t dampen his spirit for service to humanity as he devoted himself to championing human rights, diplomacy and alleviating poverty. In fact, the 96-year-old holds the record for the longest and the most active post-presidency (nearly 40 years). The former president who has interests in poetry, negotiated for hostage release in North Korea and he is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

George H. W. Bush 1989-1993

Like Trump, George H W Bush was a republican who lost his re-election bid to Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992. However, it would be fair to note that his one term in office came after eight years of fellow-party member Ronald Reagan. Until his demise in 2018, Bush made his post-presidency worthwhile by teaming with other ex-presidents for humanitarian campaigns like tsunami relief.

I don't think these men are not redpilled. I can tell you they are. These are men that understand the game and are playing it right. What's the point being outspokenly redpilled in an industry that thrives on the blue pill? Celebrity culture is driven by women, money, fame, and red pill truth is like a pin punching a balloon, it would blow up, and they will be thrown to the wolves. You can't listen to their musical lyrics, and call them beta. Really? The proof is in the details.

One rule in business is to never talk against the point of view of your customer/base. You expect dominos to tell you that their pizza is junk and will make you fat? Or coca cola to tell you that the sugar in coke caused diabetes and obesity? Come on. They won't. It is not your responsibility to save anyone. Save yourself, reap bountifully and move on. Also, people do not want to be saved. Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? Suffering is addictive, and becomes bittersweet ultimately.

I run my own business and I'm as blue pill as it gets in relation with my customer. I appeal to their emotions, to patronize impulsively, and customer retention techniques, but at the core of my business philosophy, it is as red pill as it gets, that's how the world works. A man should control his emotions, and stuffing in redpill in everything is lack of emotional control. In simple terms, navigate the world with a red pill mindset, but relate with people in a blue pill one.

Blue pill = big money �

15 out of how many questions you answered?

charlezs1:
Quick Idea: In subject areas where you majorly answer question, would you like questions assigned to you personally? Just one of the ideas

TheBlessedHero:
Well, this is a good idea, that I've personally thought about. However, there will be some issues that need to be resolved, they're amongst others:

1. Supposing 20 questions is given to each tutor per day, based on subjects they majorly answer, what will happen, to the unsolved questions? because it is not every time a tutor can answer all the available questions correctly.

2. Will there be option to remove the question(s) a tutor can't solve from his/her dashboard?

3. Will the removal of questions be automatic or at the tutor's discretion?

4. If the questions are being automatically removed, how long will unsolved questions stays in a tutor's dashboard before it will be automatically removed?

5. if it is not automatically removed, nor the option of tutor removing the unsolved questions by itself, will new questions comes in or the new questions reduced accordingly? for example, 5 unsolved questions remains in a tutor's dashboard, will new 20 questions be added making it 25, or it'll just be another 15 making it 20 questions altogether?

6. Will there be option of tutor getting more questions in a day after solving all the questions assigned to him or her?

7. will there be option of tutor refreshing their dashboard, such that the unsolved questions can be removed while another questions yet unsolved comes in?
for example, on dashboard A, there are three unsolved questions of Q1, Q5, and Q7, so tutor A refresh his dashboard, then another unsolved questions Q15, Q20, Q23 comes in, all in the same subject categories.

Personally, I love the idea, and I recommend it to be from the TOP TWO (2) subjects a tutor usually answer from.

Thanks.


On this, I hope you're what I think your are

Why don't you contact agents to help you out?

LaMujer:
I dont think second answer is the issue here tbh


If we remember there explanations, they said questions are being reloaded regularly.

Now, here's my thesis.


Those of us wey dey take too long on a question, not cos we're playing smart or anything, but cos it just took us long. I'm thinking for example, some questions that, by the time I'm done, and I go back to CT to pick a new question. CT reloads.

That can't happen to only me naa?

So, I think, it was that moment the question had been removed from CT. But we didn't know cos we met the question in CT and answered it in CT.

I think it's a ploy to pay lesser, like someone said too.


I got 3 axed out of 27

JayIlych:
Why people dey always do like this na.

This guy just copied the question back. Now I'm not even sure if my answer was the first to enter.
