Survey of 154 scholars places 45th president behind even ‘historically calamitous chief executives’ linked to civil war

Donald Trump finished 45th and rock bottom of a list ranking US presidents by greatness, trailing even “historically calamitous chief executives” who failed to stop the civil war or botched its aftermath.

Worse for the likely Republican nominee this year, his probable opponent, Joe Biden, debuted at No 14.

“Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall,” Justin Vaughn and Brandon Rottinghaus, the political scientists behind the survey, wrote in the Los Angeles Times.

In 20 years, we could be up to 48 presidents or more, so you're right, trump's rating could get even lower. Hopefully no one beats him.

In 20 years, the number of presidents might not have increased.

Even if the US falls into a dictatorship it's not very likely that Trump makes it to 97.

good point, surprised he made it through the stresses of being president once.

It's not stressful when you don't do anything and don't care about anything and others around you.

Exactly he spent four years being applauded and complaining about the food.

In his eyes that’s called winning.

Also, Fuck Putin, that horrible man.
