13384669, He's not far from the bottom Posted by MEAT, Tue May-19-20 03:15 PM
And he's only propped up from the bottom by fluff. I think there needs to be a tier of presidencies based on the nature of the world. There are very few tangible ways that you can reasonably compare the presidency of John Adams to Jimmy Carter
I'd bucket Washington to Lincoln Johnson to Roosevelt the first Taft to FDR Truman to current.
Then of bucket one Jackson is the worst, bucket two Hayes, bucket three Wilson, bucket four Trump then Regan then Nixon then Bush
They'll get propped up by Historians because of their positives, but there has to be a net negative for war (Vietnam/Korea/Iraq), genocide (Trail of Tears), entrenching white supremacy (the Hayes compromise, most anything to do with the Supreme Court) and historians don't really do that.
