Consider:

*Wilson muzzled the press, made it illegal for the media to criticize the government during WWI. Violators were imprisioned.

*He lied to the voters, running for re-election in 1916 on the slogan "He kept us out of the war", and yet he did precisly the opposite a year later, and 320,000 Americans died for nothing in a war America had no stake in and where neither side had the moral high ground. What's worse is that wilso had already made a secret agreement before his re-election with Britain and France to enter the war on the side of the Allies. The outcome of the war caused by America's intervention set the stage for the rise of Nazism and Communism.
Some of Wilson's other foreign adventrues incluse sending American troops to fight against the Communists in the Russian Revolution.

*He was a racist scum, who re-segregate the government and civil service, and set back civil rights and race relations in the United States by 30 years. He also denied the Japanese request for a clause of racial equality in the League of Nations charter (Wilson hated Orientals too).

There's more where this came from: Read Wilson's War by Jim Powell.

You also forget that he stalled action on the 19th Amendment granting Women's Suffrage for as long as possible.
