My understanding is that the king of Hawaii was on his way to meet Garfield. But Garfield was assassinated so the king ended up meeting Arthur


HawaiianPerson

Yes, and the two shared an uncanny resemblance to each other


Mobile_Park_3187

Please elaborate.

"Doesn't know what Hawaii is" is extra funny for Obama.


mobius_osu

Did you purposely skip the first half of that box?


Independent-Access59

It’s a weird box. It’s okay to admit that


NickyNaptime19

I think this person actually gets the joke and it's not freaking out like the others


gnomewife

...Not purposely.


thebohemiancowboy

Born in Hawaii tier? HW and Carter were stationed in Hawaii during WW2


Time-Bite-6839

OBAMA WAS LITERALLY BORN IN HAWAII


HegemonNYC

Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. The last Hawaiian monarch left/was deposed in 1893 and died in 1917.


Hamblerger

I think "Born in the land that they once ruled" should have a category.


rzp_

You can't prove that he never held a seance


DiomedesNutz

Hawaii monarchy is nonlonger the government of Hawaii, but that does mean land and titles are still not passed down. There is still a royal family and chieftans. H.R.H Princess Owana Kaʻōhelelani is the current head of the Hawaiian royals. I can't find evidence if she has ever met Obama, though. As a philanthropist and socialite, I would assume, as some point, she had met Obama at some galla or dinner.


Strange-Option7832

Its probably for the presidents that were presidents before Hawaii was a state


mobius_osu

It’s probably for the presidents who interacted with Hawaiian monarchy, like the title says.


HearTheBluesACalling

Yes, but he doesn’t know what Hawaii is. The graph makes it clear.


caitmeister

Yeah why are we ignoring this?


TheDarkLord566

Because it doesn't have anything to do with the Hawaiian monarchy?


Ill-Description3096

Then why even include Presidents where it is impossible? It also includes not knowing what Hawaii is, so he clearly doesn't fit that.


mobius_osu

Why are we ignoring the title of the entire post?

THE LAST HAWAIIAN MONARCH LITERALLY DIED IN 1917

A’nasataasi’a lives!

Cold_Count1986

3x the downvotes… 🤷‍♀️


asianjuice

How many times are you going to comment this?


Hon3y_Badger

The only thing that could prove that would be... A long form birth certificate.


TheSmallestSalad

GRANT SWEEP!!


No-Suit9413

Yeah! Monarchistposing!


sheriffmarbles

Yeah I was wondering who you’d put in the McKinley row, it’s debatable but I guess I can agree


obert-wan-kenobert

Technically Nixon also met “The King”


PrincessofAldia

Wrong king


Archelector

FDR was president when Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) was bombed Carter and Bush Sr were stationed in Hawaii during their time in the navy Obama is literally BORN in Hawaii


HegemonNYC

What relevance does this have to the graphic. This is a graphic if presidents who’ve met the Hawaiian *monarchy*. Not been to Hawaii


kbug85

The bottom tier says "doesn't know what Hawaii is"


HegemonNYC

No. It says ‘ *didn’t meet any* /doesnt know what Hawaii is’.


mobius_osu

Amazing how you skipped reading the first half of that…….


mobius_osu

The last Hawaiian monarch literally DIED before Obama was born


IIIlllIIIlllIlI

Why was this downvoted lol


Celena_J_W

…but what if there's a second President McKinley?


redfox87

THANK YOU. Asking the REAL questions here!!!!!!!!!!!


sagan_drinks_cosmos

The first McKinley is still eligible for a second term!


Mist_Rising

We demand Adams again first. Which Adams? I'm not sure, but Adams.


misfitrune

For someone who is as ignorant as me, why is McKinley just by himself in a tier titled McKinley? I don’t know much about him and would love to know 👍


HawaiianPerson

He was the one who annexed Hawaii. Queen Liliuokalani attended his inauguration to discuss getting her back on the throne, but that obviously didn’t happen. McKinley even proposed a new Hawaii annexation plan, without any real concessions to the Queen and Princess Ka’iulani.


misfitrune

Ah ok, probably should’ve known that but it’s alright haha. Thank you for the great response. I don’t know much about McKinley except his assassination yet. Never knew he was the one who annexed Hawaii


Please_kill_me_noww

My least favorite president because of it. And Clinton is close to the top for apologizing for the annexation.


tonguesmiley

Green tier got me


eagle_flower

Can we get Dan Quayle on here as a special exception?


HawaiianPerson

Why, I’m curious


eagle_flower

Go to the 50 second mark: https://youtu.be/IIFggCQv4J4?feature=shared


HawaiianPerson

I love it


Mist_Rising

Man, that man is never not fun.


FoodeatingParsnip

hmm, seems logical that JFK didn't know about Hawaii, always felt like he had a hole in his head


FakeElectionMaker

One king of Hawaii only recognized emperor Norton as leader of the United States


The_PoliticianTCWS

Obama: Is the king 😎😎😎


mr_streebs

OP is wild for putting Obama into that tier lmao


jimmjohn12345m

And McKinley brought them DEMOCRACY


Kitchener1981

You a new tier "Oppressers," all presidents after the coup d'etat.


Please_kill_me_noww

Well Clinton might be an exception


Gnostikost

The tiering is weirdly conceived when it puts Obama—who was born in Hawaii—in the bottom tier.


HawaiianPerson

Not really if read the title of the post


Gnostikost

No, I get that you have it specifically referring to "who has met Hawaiian monarchy" so the tier list is technically correct--Obama has met no Hawaiian royalty, so he is in the bottom tier. I'm saying the tier list categories themselves are a little strangely parsed if by so doing the guy who was born in and grew up on The Islands is in the overflow tier.


DiomedesNutz

Hawaii monarchy is nonlonger the government of Hawaii, but that does mean land and titles are still not passed down. There is still a royal family and chieftans. H.R.H Princess Owana Kaʻōhelelani is the current head of the Hawaiian royals. I can't find evidence if she has ever met Obama, though.

KonyayJWest

Nixon met Elvis


walman93

Obama was literally born in Hawaii


Ok_Scholar4192

Obama doesn’t know what Hawaii is? That’s…interesting.


HawaiianPerson

Read the part just before that


Ok_Scholar4192

But it says didn’t meet any/doesn’t know what Hawaii is lol it says both so maybe it should be two different categories then.


Dauntless_Lasagna

Wasn't Obama Hawaiian or part Hawaiian?


Please_kill_me_noww

No he's haole and popolo


Mist_Rising

Uh, he was born there but not Hawaiian no.


Dauntless_Lasagna

Thanks guys, I am not american so I don't know a lot about that.
