I like Biden, but ranking a president while they're president seems foolhardy to me.

That being said, Trump really is such an objective failure and treasonous fuckwad that his ranking at Buchanan-levels is already warranted.

I assume this is based on accomplishments rather than them as people. That would explain why hated presidents like Jackson and Reagan are still so high.
I think its some combination of:
  • how historic their presidency was (first president, civil war president, first black president, etc.)
  • their accomplishments
  • them as a person (Trump last)

Glad to see Reagan slinking down on these lists.
A lot of people that rate him highly, are people that benefitted from his policies I think. Now that a lot of those people are seeing the ramifications of it, they're slowly voting him down. I expect Obama to slide down in a few decades (his drone campaigns in the Middle East)

"experts"

I don't care how much you don't like Trump, but there were presidents who literally owned slaves, were pro-slavery, took part in ethnic cleansings, and/or committed genocide.

To suggest Trump is "the worst" is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst.

You have no idea what youre talking about and should probably sit this one out.

Clinton rising is unfortunate, but understandable due to garbage Republicans like Reagan dropping.

Obama at #7, really? I like the guy, but come on, he's not in the top 10!
Truman at #6 despite nuking hundreds of thousands of civilians...
Wilson doesn't deserve to be that high, either.
Reagan is way too high, should be bottom 5 or at least bottom 10
Monroe is top 10 and it's sad people don't recognize that.
Jackson at 21, are you fucking kidding me? DEAD FUCKING LAST!
GWB and Nixon are both several spots too high

The top 5 is fine, but after that the list shits the bed pretty hard.

But it looks like these accomplishments are getting reevaluated with the benefit of hindsight.

For example, nearly all of Reagan's "accomplishments" amount to setting the stage for Trumpism.

I like to think that's why Reagan is falling to a lower place on this list.

Reagan being that low definitely implies it leans a bit left (not saying it's wrong!), but not by too much.

Surprised Polk's that low. I actually rank him even lower, but I know a lot of people put him top 15, if not top 10. Does anyone outside of historians think Wilson should be in the upper half?

There's really no need for people to move Bush 43 up just because Trump's worse. C-SPAN did the same thing. At least this one moved him a bit down again.

Trump's position is a no-brainer. Even before Jan 6, he was a strong contender for worst ever. Jan 6 put him at rock bottom with shit loads of margin to spare.

Reality-based conservatives are stuck with those outcomes. That's why the GOP is busily ensuring reality-based conservatives go extinct.

People were putting him in the bottom before Jan 6 just because of his shitty COVID response. The Jan 6 stuff just cemented it.

No. Fatfuck is worse by far. He actually attempted a fucking coup against the Government to keep himself in power. Put fat fuck in Jackson, Buchanon, Johnson, Dubya, Reagan's shoes and he'd do a hell of a lot worse than them.

Jackson committed a nazi level genocide, Buchanan let the Civil War happen without doing anything to stop it, Johnson might be the one president more corrupt, W had the Middle East

You're a fool if you believe Trump wouldn't have tried even harder to wipe out the natives, done anything to stop the Civil War from happening, contributed anything meaningful to reconstruction, or not declared war on the ME after 9-11. Guy is historically trash and irreparably damaged our Government.

  1. One of Trump's only two books he owns is mein Kampf. He's not "Nazi level" he straight up idolizes them. Praised China for the Tiananmen Square Massacre and brought concentration camps to America, and when people tried to object, Godwin himself said "no actually those are concentration camps"
  2. Civil War was inevitable. Trump killed more Americans by doing nothing about COVID-19.
  3. Johnson merely shut down reconstruction. Trump has actively regressed civil rights.
  4. Trump literally assassinated Suleimani and negotiated the deal to let the Taliban take over Afghanistan.
Everything those other presidents did, Trump did worse.

3. Johnson merely shut down reconstruction. Trump has actively regressed civil rights.


Regressing civil rights is certainly a thing Trump has pushed forward and enabled, but absolutely nothing compares to the situation Johnson created through the de-facto ending of reconstruction. He was racist even among his contemporaries and was chosen by Lincoln to ease fears since there was at one point a time where Lincoln's reelection wasn't ensured.

When you say "Merely halted reconstruction" you don't mention what comes with that. After the Civil War ended there were multiple Black elected officials in the Southern United States.

This was all ended for a variety of reasons that ultimately come down to the government's intentional abdication of authority to the Southern States to enact whatever laws they saw fit. This meant the de-facto reinstitution of slavery through an infinite number of racial and non-racially coded laws that enabled the Southern states to enslave criminals (therefor common non-criminal actions done by the impoverished were criminalized, an integral part of Jim Crow.)

Black men did ultimately attain some level of civil rights in some areas but Johnson's actions to defang reconstruction (causing its eventual revocation) destroyed this, meaning he did substantially regress civil rights to a degree far greater than Trump. Any sense of ending the prewar establishment in which black people were subjugated by the Southern states was essentially negated in all but strictly legal terms the same way "bribes" with a big $ bag are banned but lobbying to excess is legal. It was a matter of paperwork and "creative" enforcement.

Johnson was an avowed white supremacist to an extreme even among his contemporaries (much like Wilson), openly corrupt, and objectively played the largest single hand of any public official in the US to allow Jim Crow, neoslavery, the brutalization of a freed black populace, and generations of terrorism. If only to prove this point further, the federal government nationalizing state guards to enforce Supreme Court orders - i.e. enforcing the law by gunpoint and force - was the only thing that seriously combated the Southern coalition.

Am I saying Trump is incapable of doing this? Certainly not. But the current spread of shitty laws regressing civil rights do not compare to the magnitude that was in effect the century of apartheid Johnson very intentionally caused.
