Do you think Trump the worst president in modern US history?


Modern history is apparently defined as the period from WWII to current times. Below is a list of presidents from then to now

FDR (D)
Truman (D)
Eisenhower (R)
JFK (D)
LBJ (D)
Nixon (R)
Ford (R)
Carter (D)
Reagan (R)
HW (R)
Clinton (D)
W (R)
Obama (D)
Trump (R)

I could've easily narrowed this down to more recent history but going that far back we have a bigger sample size and an even number of Reps and Dems represented in case that matters to some people. After looking at that list, do you think Trump is the worst president on there? If not, please state who and why you think was worse

Up until Covid 19, Dubya was probably the worst president, but after his complete disgrace at handling the pandemic, Trump firmly established himself at the bottom imo.

Yes

No

tbh, I imagine the response largely results from the fact that most posters are barely old enough to have really known 2-3 presidents within their lifetime so, from their limited perspective, Trump seems worse.

What other Presidents got 120,000+ Americans killed on American soil and just laughed it off like a big hoax?

No, Franklin Roosevelt had four terms.
How does that make him worse than anyone else? I get that during his last 2 terms a war was going on but people actually voted for him all 4 terms

Think of all the reasons liberals and leftists hate Donald Trump. Congratulations, you have FDR lol.

inb4 BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME!
FDR won the popular and electoral votes every single time unlike Trump.

I can also think of reasons why some reasonable conservatives hate Trump too but people will still vote for him simply because he is a member of their political party despite the GOP being vastly different from the Bush days.

As for being in a different time, that is relevant but I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to get at

One could definitely argue Trump has done more damage in 1 term than Reagan and W did in 2 terms each that also look to have a much worse impact moving forward.

Off the top of my head, Andrew Jackson, James Adams, Richard Milhous Nixon, and Woodrow Wilson are all worse.

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman I'm on the fence on. On one hand, they thought it was okay to intern Japanese-Americans in concentration camps during World War 2. On the other hand, I'm not so sure Donald Trump wouldn't do the same with under similar circumstances if given the power to do so.

There are at least five worse than he. GWB, Woodrow Wilson, Reagan, some of the civil war Presidents.

He has handled this corona outbreak very badly though.

You could argue it, but not successfully.
