Historians rank Trump near the bottom of U.S. presidents; Obama in top 10

[pecksniff]

Story.

Donald Trump is ranked near the bottom of all U.S. presidents by a group of historians, getting the lowest grades for leadership of any commander in chief who has served in the White House in the past 150 years.

The ratings of presidents on 10 leadership qualities, the fourth in a series conducted by C-SPAN, includes assessments by 142 historians and professional observers of the presidency.

The findings underscore the duality of Trump's standing, unprecedented among his fellow presidents. After his upset victory in 2016 and his defeat in 2020, historians hold him in the lowest regard of any president since soon after the Civil War. But he continues to be the face of the Republican Party and its most influential figure, and he is viewed as a potential contender for the GOP's presidential nomination in 2024.

After the thousands of lies Trump has no credibility and his supporters are horrible people ... many are terrorists

Trump should most certainly be ranked within the bottom three.

Two polls in '18 and one in '21 have him at the bottom:

Dump is is the worst president in the modern era, even worse than W. I can recall W's presidency, while he waged war in other countries, Dump spawned a war against his fellow citizens. His brand is trash!

Trump was President?

So a leftist circle jerk....is jerking off the left again.

[Philthy_Phil]

Of course he is, only morons think trump was a good president. Low IQ leader can only fool low IQ voters with his hyperbole bullshit.

President-adjacent is as kind as I'll allow Cheeto.

a homunculus or golem would've had more heart for the job.

Care to list reasons he should be ranked higher?

This thread is pure bullshit. The history of Trump's presidency won't be written by this generation of left wing losers.

By whom, then? (Remember, they'll still be academics, in any generation.)

It will be written by future objective historians, investigators, not today's left wing press.

Must have been CNN or some other

leftist group that did the ranking! Or you made it up!

The present survey is not of the press but of academic historians.

And, only leftist cocksucker would think obama was good. And I'm sure you live with your mother and most likely think the government is wonderful for giving you money for your gay as.

You're a deep-cover liberal, aren't you? Only in this to make the right look stupid?

Lmao..unless Fucker Carlton doesn't like it...then the right will raise hell because history isn't the right history

But he did lie for four years, so I'm sure he'll be known for that

[MissMandy86]

No he didn't just lie for four years. That is bullshit. He did a lot of good for the country the left will never acknowledge. Trump's history will be written long after we're gone. Negative articles in the left wing press is not history.

The pre-pandemic economic performance was Obama's doing, and no economist will tell you different.
