Yeah putting Trump as the bottom means this study is biased garbage. Trump's obviously a bottom 10, but he hasn't done anything actively BAD yet, other than piss off an extremely vocal segment of the population. He's just a loud do-nothing idiot. I mean, James Buchannan, Herbert Hoover, Andrew Johnson and Jimmy Carter were all presidents for Christ's sake.

The monetary policy that drove the Roaring Twenties was a hot potato dirty bomb that Hoover had the misfortune of inheriting. Trump inherited a similar one, he just doesn't know it yet. Carter, similar, just less decisive.

Not so well versed on the Andrew Johnson administration, but I'm legitimately curious whether he was as bad as he was made out to be, or if the Radical Republicans just wrote the history books as such.

Buchanan was somewhat naive, but he also inherited a bit of a time bomb with the 1860 election being the remnants of the lit fuse.

I fully expect Trump to complain about the failing New York Times on Twitter as soon as he sees this.

That said, 2017 was not the worst year in American history. I don't know how else you can justify Trump being the worst president of all time after one year in office. Lol.

There is absolutely no logical justification for it. This was very obviously just biased opinions disguised as "expert analysis."

Buchanan implicitly supported the secession of the South.

When South Carolina threatened it during Andrew Jackson's administration, Jackson responded by threatening to send the military and they shut the fuck up and got back in line like they were supposed to.
