Presidential Greatness Project list of presidents (guess who's last)

[Icarus27k]

In honor of Presidents Day, there's another list of them complied by scholars, usually historians and political scientists. The abridged version of this 2024 edition:

#1 Lincoln

#14 Biden

#45 Trump

Trump: "such a shame, what they did to lincoln, putting him at the bottom of the list"

[Seight]

Imagine being worse than the guy that died a month into being President.

[André Toulon]

Imagine getting elected, dying right after inauguration and skyrocketing to the top 5 in the 2025 list.

I disagree with Trump being last. As bad as he was, I think Buchanan and Andrew Johnson were worse. 

One for allowing the country to slip into Civil War and the other for botching Reconstruction leading to the South being as bigoted as it is even today. 

 

I don't think the consequences of Trump's awfulness will last 100 years.

Someone had to be #1 at being Worst.

Congrats at continuing to defend that spot yugely and with an ever widening gap.

I still think Reagan was much worse than Trump. It's still too soon to rank him properly, imo, and having a sitting president be part of the rankings is just stupid.

That's almost as dark as my coffee. Before I fill it with a ton of sugar and milk.

Good luck getting sugar from zero remaining sugar cane or milk from irradiated cows.

Pretty fluid poll that moves a lot and takes different things into account depending on the times. 100 years from now being assholes could be the norm and Trump could have the No. 1 spot.
