Well in his first 100 days Trump had a Nazi uprising (in which he defended Nazis) and a special prosecutor appointed by his own attorney general’s office to investigate him for election fraud and collusion with our enemies. Now he has refused to address a pandemic killing thousands of Americans by providing much-needed medical supplies, and he is presiding over the worst 1Q stock market decline in history, plus the highest level of weekly unemployment claims in history.
I could continue but he’s not worth the time to type it out. Not only is he the worst, there’s not even anyone in second place.

But isn't he "the best president in history"? it is always "in history" or the "best ever", or "the best in the world" or "of all time" with him lol . Schoolyard hyperbole@Harmonium1923

I would put Bush in the bottom five for his wars and sending us into the biggest economic downturn since the Depression, but above Andrew Johnson (who bungled the post-Civil War recovery) and James Buchanan (whose tepid efforts to keep us out of the Civil War failed. Trump would be at the very bottom for his deliberate divisiveness, his bigoted and racist policies, his attacks on a free press and the rule of law, and his lack of environmental and climate change policy.

@DeluxedEdition I don't know much about what Hoover could have actually done, so it's hard for me to judge. I know things were rough during his day, with the tent cities and all.

@ViciDraco his approach to fixing the nearing recession was all wrong. but I don’t think it was completely his fault because the situation was already bleak to begin with. I hate criticizing any present because I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have that position and those big decisions

Seriously, Donald Trump has made me appreciate “Dubya”. He was [b]not[/b] a good president, but in all 8 years I never thought he was a racist, I never thought he disliked women, and I had no doubts that he was doing what [b]he[/b] thought was good for the country. He could’ve used a much better VP, however.

@royalblue1193 Carter struggled with an economy that had interest rates running around 15% per year. And he was criticized for running large deficits (even though his largest budget deficit was smaller than Reagan's smallest). But his calls for energy conservation were way ahead of his time. If the US had implemented the policies he outlined in his so-called "malaise speech", the US would have been energy independent by 1990, and we likely would not have gone to war with Iraq in 1991. I believe most historians have him rated toward the bottom of the middle third, and that sounds about right.

Kind of hard in some ways. I think Bill Clinton did fairly well economically, however failed terribly with the changes to banking regulations. Reagan helped tame inflation, but drastically increased the military industrial complex. Trump has done very well at increasing US forces of capitalism, however has not done well at social harmony. Maybe it is GW, he really has nothing of note, that I can think of.

@JimboSaturn John Tyler (10th President), Millard Fillmore (13th), Franklin Pierce (14th), James Buchanan (15th), Andrew Johnson (17th), and Warren G. Harding (29th) are usually found at the bottom of presidential rankings, along with Bush (43rd) and Trump (45th).

@JimboSaturn Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propagandist studied Wilson's tactics and used them to model Nazi propaganda. Wilson was the most anti-American president in this country's history.

I don't know what anti-American means, how can he be anti-himself? @BizSuitStacy
