What is the worst thing herbert hoover did?
<|assistant|>
One of the worst things that Herbert Hoover did as president was his handling of the Great Depression. He refused to accept that the country was in economic crisis and denied the severity of the issue, resulting in little effort being made to assist those impacted by the depression. Hoover also failed to implement any meaningful policies to help those affected, creating deep disillusionment among citizens. He was seen as a failed leader whose time in office had left many people struggling financially. He was also accused of doing too little to help the victims of the hurricane that devastated Galveston, Texas in 1928. All of these contributed to his defeat by Franklin Roosevelt in 1932.
