Cold warrior Kennedy's acts on Vietnam and Johnson's escalation based on the input of the Kennedy cabinet has a greater impact in terms of damage to the United States in human and other costs, but they were rational acts in context.

The Civil War was almost certainly the worst disaster in American history but the increasingly likely collapse of the United States under the orange pedophile may exceed it in tragic consequences for Americans.
The foolish Iranian war without any articulated reason however surely stands as the most stupid of all Presidential acts in history. Its only redeeming feature is that it apparently obviate for many Magats just how invisible their Emporer's new clothes actually are.
