If you squint hard enough and hate him enough, you could argue Wilson as well (not the genocide part, but that depends on how much you think an earlier American entrance into WW1 would change things.
Edit: I should add that Wilson is basically single handedly responsible for the rebirth of the KKK
I’ll ignore what could have happened with Teddy at the wheel entering the war as quickly as he could.
Wilson wrote Southern Revisionism, as you said refounded the KKK, segregated The Federal Government, expanded the presidential powers to tyrannical proportions with the sedition and insurrection act, erected a bunch of statues that we are finally tearing down, of people that said they never wanted statues because they were traitors, started and expanded wars in South and Central America to create banana republics, and fostered endless US wars with Wilsonian Doctrine.
Just what he did doesn’t require squinting at all.
Not coincidentally, Andrew Jackson is one of Trump’s favorite presidents. He once displayed a portrait of Jackson in a room he was meeting with Native American leaders in.
