At any time, the children of some political celebrities will always receive various attention. In foreign media, many children of US presidents have been exposed to "nail". But the editor just wants to ask: Why are the American version of the princelings so naive?
Today, the editor will dig out the 10 major scandals of presidential children in American history. These foreigners think it is very serious. I wonder what the readers think of these American version of the princelings?
1. James Garfield's son - violated the taboo and rode a bicycle on the steps of White House
James Garfield entered the White House in March 1881 and became the president of the United States. He was assassinated 6 months later.
His son Irving Garfield's greatest evil deed is that he is more lively and noisy than all children. Irving rode his bicycle on the steps of the White House many times, which was considered an extremely serious taboo at the time and also made White House staff always frightened.
However, when Irving grew up, he turned back to justice, and later became a lawyer.
2. James Madison 's stepson - gambling and alcoholism
James Madison , served as the President of the United States from 1809 to 1817.
John Payne Todd is Madison's stepson, the child born to his mother Dory Madison's first marriage. He joined James Madison and Dory Madison, who became the first lady, to enter the White House.
John is addicted to gambling and drinking, which makes all his family embarrassed. His mother repeatedly tried to send him to school to teach or find some other decent jobs, but John still couldn't make ends meet. The economic support for John made the Madisons live in poverty after retirement. When James Madison passed away, John's mother had to sell some of her husband's private documents to Congress to save herself from bankruptcy. But Dory Madison was smart when selling the documents and asked Congress to pay John regularly. John could no longer get a penny from his mother.
3. Abraham Lincoln 's son - his son is considered a famous bad guy
Abraham Lincoln , served as president of the United States from 1861 to 1865. He was praised as a wild young man when he was young, but was considered the president with the most serious style when he was president.
Lincoln has two sons, Todd and William. Their biggest hobby is to play pranks on White House guests. Later, William died at a young age, and Todd was considered to continue to fulfill his mission - creating pranks.
The most famous time was that Todd took out his parents' clothes in the yard in front of the White House to set up a stall, trying to sell the Lincolns' clothes to make money; the other time was to tie goats to sleds and let them pass through the official US reception held at the White House. But Todd's pranks have also been praised. He "pardoned" turkeys every Thanksgiving, which later became a tradition for the president of the United States.
However, Todd joined the army when he grew up, participated in the Civil War briefly, and returned unscathed. Later he also participated in the US presidential election. Although he was ultimately defeated, many media believe that Todd is the most unfairly criticized American presidential candidate in American history.
4. Theodore Roosevelt 's daughter - keeping a pet snake, burning voodoo doll
Theodore Roosevelt, who served as the president of the United States from 1901 to 1905, was the uncle of the Roosevelt ( Franklin Roosevelt ) who I am more familiar with later.
Theodore Roosevelt once said: "I can manage this country or take care of Alice, but I can't do both of these things at the same time." Alice Roosevelt was Theodore's daughter. In the United States of that era, the feminist movement had not yet emerged, and women and men were not equal.
Alice Roosevelt sets himself apart by smoking, gambling, chewing gum and playing with guns. She was out of the standards of society at that time, and she even had a pet snake that she often took to hang out. Alice hates but has to attend various social gatherings, and although she cares about politics, she hates these hypocritical gatherings.Because of her annoyance, she made a voodoo doll from the first lady at the time (her own mother) and burned it in the White House, although she never said what she wanted to express in this behavior. But her behavior was still considered a "scandal" by the media.
5. John Quincy Adams 's son - he was spanked when he was a child and didn't struggle. He grew up and snatched his brother's girlfriend
John Quincy Adams, President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He is the fourth president of the United States and the son of John Adams, the second president of the United States. Since the name of Quincy's son was not found, the editor temporarily called him Adams III here.
Adams III was unfortunate. For some reason, he was attacked by his father's political opponent at a party in the White House as a child. He was actually beaten in public, and when he was spanked, he did not refuse or fight back, which won him the reputation of a "coward". This voice bothered him for a long time and put him in a state of alcoholism.
Adult Adams III fell in another trouble. He fell in love with his cousin's girlfriend and successfully completed the "cutting off the fire from the cauldron". After his victory, a grand wedding was held at the White House, but several family members did not attend and they refused to attend.
6. Ronald Reagan 's daughter - a scandal against her parents
Ronald Reagan, served as President of the United States from 1981 to 1989.
Reagan's daughter Patty Davis is a typical rebellious personality. She abandoned the surname Reagan and became the most famous hippie in the United States. Her actions are believed to have deeply damaged Reagan's image and reputation as a conservative president and anti-drug president.
In order to oppose her parents, Patty even wrote a book about her family. She actively participated in anti-nuclear protests in the hope of preventing her father from taking control of the nuclear code in the United States. In order to help a 58-year-old man (the editor doesn't understand what the specific thing is), she actually protested nakedly.
7. George Herbert Walker Bush (Sr. Bush)'s son - addicted to various parties and is called "A party animal" (the editor of this translation has no courage to translate it. It is a party animal or a party animal, and is left to the comments of all readers)
Bush, the president of the United States from 1989 to 1993, was the one who later became the president of the United States and was called Bush Jr. by Chinese people.
Bush was actually considered a controversial figure long before he became the president of the United States. He was once a famous wild child. This period was called "Bush's nomadic period" by the American media. He was keen on attending various parties, and he would appear wherever he had a party. Sometimes when he was tired of the party, he fell asleep. Some tabloids even think he is taking drugs. These scandals were exposed by the media again when Bush Jr. was running for US president, and it was hotly hyped.
8. George Walker Bush (Bish Jr.)'s daughter - criticized for trying to escape bodyguard surveillance
George Walker Bush (Bish Jr.), served as US President from 2001 to 2008.
Bush's two daughters Barbara and Jenna attracted media attention after their father was elected president of the United States. When they were 19 years old, they were exposed by the media that they had drunk alcohol when they were underage and were widely criticized by the media.
After moving to the White House, Barbara and Jenna felt that their freedom was restricted. In most cases, if they want to go to a party, they will have bodyguards from the Secret Service follow. In order to get rid of the bodyguard's protection, they tried to deliberately run a red light to get rid of the bodyguard's tracking, and obviously they failed. Their behavior was also widely reported by the media as a scandal.
9.Martin Van Buren 's son - addicted to alcoholism and gambling
Martin Van Buren, served as President of the United States from 1837 to 1841.
John Van Buren, the son of Martin Van Buren, himself is also considered an outstanding politician. But as the president's son, the public's doubts about him never stopped.John loves to attend parties and always impresses people in the social circle. In 1838, he danced with Queen Victoria at a dance party, thus earning the nickname "Prince John".
However, John's bad habits were also exposed by the media. He was a drunkard and a gambling man. He likes horse racing gambling, but because he watches horse racing and drinks, he has been carried out from the racecourse several times. He also loves poker and gambling. It is said that in one game, he exported all his mistresses.
10. Jimmy Carter's daughter - was arrested for participating in radical activities
Jimmy Carter, served as the President of the United States from 1977 to 1981.
Jimmy Carter is a liberal president of the United States, but his daughter Amy has pushed this liberalism to the extreme. Amy was still a kid when she lived in the White House, but she grew up becoming an active leftist politically. She often participates in various protests and sit-ins. She strives to break the racial barriers and hopes to stop the United States from interfering in Central America. Amy was arrested for participating in these radical activities.
