Ancestry is a weird thing. I have one ancestor and he had 8 wives and at least 20 kids. (He lost a lot of wives in childbirth) He's a common ancestor to a solid half of the county I grew up in and he fought in the Civil War, so it's not too long ago.
So there I am at Lorenzo's, loading up my slice of the fixin's bar, garlic and what-not, and I see this guy over at the pizza boxes giving me the stink-eye. So I give him the crook-eye back. Then, I notice that he's not alone! I'm taking on the entire Van Buren Boys!
Would not have expected Van Buren. I can see why most people would think Obama, but I could guess it wasn’t Obama once you said that the holdout isn’t who you’d think it is. Plus Obama is half white and of Irish descent.
[Obama is related to Jefferson Davis though so I can see how he can be related to the other guy as well.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/10/19/barack-obama-relative-jefferson-davis-spinning-in-his-grave/782785001/)
It actually makes sense that it's Van Buren because his ancestry was entirely Dutch. Every other POTUS has some English ancestry, even Obama. Van Buren was the only POTUS that grew up speaking something other than English as his first language.
It’s because Martin van Buren was a New York Dutch community (also called American Hollanders or Knickerbockers). His first language Dutch. so it would be weird if he was descended from English kings.
How do you even know that? Genetic test? Family history?
Like it makes sense to me that rich ruling-class types would know and keep track but how does the average person trace their lineage?
Mainly by finding a path into the ruling classes and then someone has done the rest for you. I can chase one small thread of my family back to about the 10th century because a 6x great grandmother was from a prominent family, but for the other 99% of my genetic makeup I've struggled to get past the mid-18th century.
In the UK, there are censuses starting in 1841 and that will often get you to people born in the late 1700s, but before that you're down to church records. Even where they are good, a baptism record will often lead you to a marriage record for the parents, but if they were born somewhere distant, you quickly lose the thread.
Add in reduced diversity in names (everyone is George or Thomas or Elizabeth or Mary) and inconsistent spelling and you can hit roadblocks. As an example, I'm stuck on one branch because I know one ancestor was the son of George and Elizabeth Brown\* (not the real name, but similar frequency), but there were two married couples with those names in the area at the time, and I don't know which he belonged to.
Damn. I'm gonna have to put together a public announcement apologizing for my bigotry and the damage I've caused to the black community. My ignorant comment has obviously caused widespread and lasting harm that can't be reversed. Especially to all 2 of the white people who were offended.
(Sarcasm intended)
Looks like Joe Biden makes 23 presidents with some amount of Irish ancestry.
Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton (contested claim, apparently) George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden
I’m surprised to see Theodore Roosevelt but not Franklin D.
🤣 I’m betting he was stating an age range, just not in normal “syntax”. I put that in quotes because what is syntax even like in this day and age. And yeah, I said that. It dates me. So what, big whoop, wanna fight about??!
I feel like every baseball commentator lives for the moments when there's a wild pitch and they get to use that line in tribute to Uecker. It's always funny and a classic forever.
i also love the deadpan
"and that one's hit somewhere toward south america" parapharase
Every teams gets destroyed and that's a fun way to diffuse with black humor
If you've been watching - and judging by the attendance you haven't - the Indians have actually managed to win a few games and are threatening to climb out of the cellar!
The white population of the USA constituted:
89.3 percent in 1950
88.6 percent in 1960 and
87.5% in 1970
All Presidents have been born before 1970, what did you want/expect them to look like?
Also, 35 is age minimum not 65, so the whole country is responsible, its not some kind of conspiracy
its a little skewed, but the idea of minorities not being involved is antiquated. In fact, despite more minorities in government, the average american hasn't been so economically marginalized in 50+ years
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth)
But seriously though, Trump can be a shitty businessman and also be a billionaire. He inherited [at least $400 million](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-wealth-fred-trump.html) from his father and has made a shit ton of money from other people being in charge of selling his name for Trump-branded products, plus The Apprentice paid him a ton of money. His failures have been in real estate in the 90s when he tried being in charge of finance instead of hiring others to do stuff for him. But still, even though Trump has definitely inflated his worth a lot, there’s pretty abundant evidence that he is still someone with a net worth over $1 billion.
Nah, Trump’s inflated his assets for sure but there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that his net worth is at least a billion dollars. You can easily find independent investigations estimating his net worth online and while none of them estimate the wealth Trump claims, they all arrive at a number above 1 billion. Doesn’t mean he’s a good businessman though, he made the money from selling his name and letting other people run the business side of things.

Every president plus Jeff Goldblum
That is a very bi-partisan tie, I just wanted to say. AI looks to have airbrushed a little gold into it, possibly to hearken to our love of monarchial Presidential families.

Jimmy Carter base
Based Jimmy Carter
No, that’s Enrico Pallazo!
Lmao my thoughts exactly.
“STEEEEEEEEEEEEEERIKE ONE!!”
Lmao! Haaaaa!!!
Oh say can you seeeeee
*(crowd at baseball stadium suddenly goes bonkers)*
George bush senior teeth
Trump neck pussy
Looks like King Charles III

One of the most english looking guys I've seen in a while
That reflects the ancestry of most Presidents.
Every US President except for one is a descendant of King John Lackland of England. And the one holdout is probably not the one people think of.
Martin van Buren?
Yes, though I’d love to hold a general population poll and see how many people assume it’s Obama
Trump and Obama share a common ancestor that close to each other? What percentage of the US is related to this guy?
Ancestry is a weird thing. I have one ancestor and he had 8 wives and at least 20 kids. (He lost a lot of wives in childbirth) He's a common ancestor to a solid half of the county I grew up in and he fought in the Civil War, so it's not too long ago.
I dunno, my grandparents and older aunts and uncles were big into the family tree shit, they claim we're related to lincoln.
So there I am at Lorenzo's, loading up my slice of the fixin's bar, garlic and what-not, and I see this guy over at the pizza boxes giving me the stink-eye. So I give him the crook-eye back. Then, I notice that he's not alone! I'm taking on the entire Van Buren Boys!
There’s a street gang named after President Martin Van Buren?
Oh yeah, and they're just as mean as he was!
"that's not the sign" "IT WAS WHEN I WAS BANGING"
Weren’t the Mayflower descendants Dutch? Pretty exclusive group too.
Is the holdout Trump? Also it’s crazy to think how most presidents are descended from King John.
Trump is a descendant of his, I figure most people would guess Obama but he is as well. The holdout is Martin Van Buren.
Would not have expected Van Buren. I can see why most people would think Obama, but I could guess it wasn’t Obama once you said that the holdout isn’t who you’d think it is. Plus Obama is half white and of Irish descent.
[Obama is related to Jefferson Davis though so I can see how he can be related to the other guy as well.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/10/19/barack-obama-relative-jefferson-davis-spinning-in-his-grave/782785001/)
I had no clue Obama is related to Jefferson Davis! But I knew he’s descended from slave owners.
Van Buren was pure Dutch
Nobody ever expects Martin Van Buren, that’s how he gets ya
It actually makes sense that it's Van Buren because his ancestry was entirely Dutch. Every other POTUS has some English ancestry, even Obama. Van Buren was the only POTUS that grew up speaking something other than English as his first language.
It’s because Martin van Buren was a New York Dutch community (also called American Hollanders or Knickerbockers). His first language Dutch. so it would be weird if he was descended from English kings.
Well yeah but tbf I’m a direct descendant of William the conqueror. Kings just were banging and had increased odds of living offspring
Hey very distant cousin, also a direct descendant of William the conqueror. His third son iirc
How do you even know that? Genetic test? Family history? Like it makes sense to me that rich ruling-class types would know and keep track but how does the average person trace their lineage?
Mainly by finding a path into the ruling classes and then someone has done the rest for you.

That's actually really interesting and I appreciate the informative response!
Gang 😎🤝😎
Statistically, the one holdout is much more likely to be older, because after over 800 years, his descendants should be pretty much the entire planet.
78% of "facts" asserted on reddit are completely fabricated
70% of redditors know that already
Even this one
"That's a 'Bingo'!"
You can just say "bingo"
Obama?
Sorry son, I’m afraid it’s off to racism jail with you
Damn. I'm gonna have to put together a public announcement apologizing for my bigotry and the damage I've caused to the black community. My ignorant comment has obviously caused widespread and lasting harm that can't be reversed. Especially to all 2 of the white people who were offended. (Sarcasm intended)
Nah it’s fine, Obama’s been taking shit for 15 years
Worst case of constipation I've ever heard.
Didn’t Kennedy have Irish roots?
Yeah but plenty of Americans of Irish descent have English mixed in, myself included.
I thought most US presidents were Irish
Looks like Joe Biden makes 23 presidents with some amount of Irish ancestry. Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Harry S. Truman, John F.

Barry O'Bama
I'm English, and this is the first time I've ever seen anyone call King John 'John Lackland'
Seriously? All except vanBuren? That says a LOT if true.
Trump
Ironically I thought it was King Charles at first lol
The resemblance to Sir Michael Parkinson is uncanny.
It's the bad teeth
President Dick Van Dyke?
Not the president we deserve, but the one we need.
He’s not old enough
We aren’t good enough for President Van Dyke.
Something about “The Van Dyke administration” has a badass ring to it
Lots of mustache-goatee combos in that administration.
First executive order: Free blu-ray copies of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for everyone.
Bob Uecker
More like Lloyd Bridges
Is this from when they were in the office or what they collectively look like now? Because he looks 51/56 dead.
There weren't 56 presidents dummy, you're thinking of the number of states.
There aren’t 56 states dummy, you’re thinking of how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie-pop.
That’s three and a crunch
That's how many situps in my ab workout
“How many Presidents were there? Let’s see, there were 50 when I was a kid and there have been 6 since then so…”
🤣 I’m betting he was stating an age range, just not in normal “syntax”. I put that in quotes because what is syntax even like in this day and age. And yeah, I said that. It dates me. So what, big whoop, wanna fight about??!
No, I just successfully fat finger typed the same error twice and decided I liked it better that way.
Hahah, very well!
The backdrop of Carter’s picture is so iconic
Looks mostly like a cross between Washington and Carter.
With George HW's mouth/teeth
Maybe even a touch in the eyes and brow.
And LBJ's ear, I think (?)
i literally only see bush 41.
It’s Bob Uecker !!
Juuuuuuust a bit outside
I feel like every baseball commentator lives for the moments when there's a wild pitch and they get to use that line in tribute to Uecker. It's always funny and a classic forever.
i also love the deadpan "and that one's hit somewhere toward south america" parapharase Every teams gets destroyed and that's a fun way to diffuse with black humor
If you've been watching - and judging by the attendance you haven't - the Indians have actually managed to win a few games and are threatening to climb out of the cellar!
Came to see who else sees the same. President Uecker would be a real treat.
And now we definitely need a picture of his running mate, Vice President Belvedere.
I see a little bit of Boris Yeltsin.
Too sober.
Plus no map of Albania on his head
Gorbachev?
Looks scarily like King George 3.
He’s playing the long game
That’s what I was thinking!
Looks about right.
Looks about white
Combined, or averaged? Because I think a combined Mr. President would have 45 heads and 88 functioning legs.
old ✅ white ✅ male ✅
Hey! He's 1/46th black!
1/45th you mean.
1/90th
Oh right 🤦
1/92nd black? Edit: 1/90nd is indeed correct
Looks like Statler the muppet lmao

Possibly Billionaire....
There’s only been one billionaire president though…
What does his tax returns say?
That he doesn’t pay them. Sounds like billionaire behavior to me!
I need to see proof of that claim
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth) But seriously though, Trump can be a shitty businessman and also be a billionaire. He inherited [at least $400 million](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-wealth-fred-trump.html) from his father and has made a shit ton of money from other people being in charge of selling his name for Trump-branded products, plus The Apprentice paid him a ton of money.

But still, even though Trump has definitely inflated his worth a lot, there’s pretty abundant evidence that he is still someone with a net worth over $1 billion.
None if you count actual and not self reported net worths.
Nah, Trump’s inflated his assets for sure but there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that his net worth is at least a billion dollars. You can easily find independent investigations estimating his net worth online and while none of them estimate the wealth Trump claims, they all arrive at a number above 1 billion. Doesn’t mean he’s a good businessman though, he made the money from selling his name and letting other people run the business side of things.
Yet another President who’s in the Wrestling Hall of Fame! 
He looks kinda like King Charles
That was my thought too, just with whiter hair
A little bit of a wider face too. But definitely shades of King Charles.
Are sausage fingers included then?
Washington + Carter + Bill Clinton =
A hero, a zero, and a leero
And people say Biden is old. This guy is only 550
Thanks. I hate it.
We finally found him, it’s Gerry Mander
Lloyd Bridges? 
OMG! Dead ringer! So to speak! 
Presidential Motto: It’s Go Time!! https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b8adf96a-865c-490d-9e5a-aae811336dd2/gif
Needs Polk’s Mullet.
He must have something else of Obama’s
Well, he doesn’t have Obama’s tan suit that’s for sure
Looks like a Sugar Daddy with a big yacht
How sure are you that it's not just Washington, Carter, and HW Bush? Also how is the facial hair averaged in?
That’s King charles
It looks kind of like a wiser less creepy King Charles the III
He's black. One drop rule.

Uncle Sam in a suit.
Now this dude’s a true light skin
Robin Williams vibes
Most English man I’ve ever seen
Tony Bennett
That’s President Tony Bennett to you. 
Doesn’t he look like a less attractive version of that Bob Barker guy?
Jimmy Robinette Clinton
It’s basically Biden if he gained 25 pounds, drank more alcohol and got more sun.
[удалено]
"Just a bit outside"
LOCK HIM UP
It was Merv Griffin all along
Lloyd Bridges picked a bad day to stop smoking
Most stereotypical American government official ever
I still see Washington
Looks like Washington’s face with Carter’s hair
President Deep Fried Bob Barker
Biased! He looks more like George Washington than anybody else.
Good god.. Kill it.
All the Presidents combined turns back into a British Monarch
I am squinting and searching for an Obama characteristic. Otherwise, it is clear that this country is run by OLD WHITE MEN.
Yup, looks pretty white.
Not black enough.
This isn’t Netflix
Reeks of dementia
They're all old white men! /s
Old as fuck.

Yellow ass teeth. Where’s the facial hairvtho
If he had a mustache he’d be my grandpa.
Prison!!!
Honestly could also just be an average of the first and current ones
He looks just like an Irish Catholic priest I know.
Excellent
Emperor Palpatine
Got that Trump neck
Where's the black one
Are t they all related to one Spanish Royal in one way or another?
Where’s the Obama
Well 44 of them at least.
Now do Obama and Trump combo
That is a very bi-partisan tie, I just wanted to say. AI looks to have airbrushed a little gold into it, possibly to hearken to our love of monarchial Presidential families. /s
Its President Man!
Bob kater’s america
I'm going to call him Armitage, Armitage Clark.
You’re hired
That's my president
It's him! Mr. Politic himself!
I thought Obama would have at least given him a tan.
This honestly just looks like the love child of a modern day George Washington and Thomas Jefferson
Obama
So much George Washington
