Survey of Presidential Politics Experts Says Trump Is the Worst of All Time

[orangecrush]

Just in time for a slow-news Presidents’ Day, the New York Times surveyed 170 political experts, plucked from the American Political Science Association, to get their take on the best-ever, worst-ever, and most mediocre-ever commanders in chief.

The historians came to a collective conclusion guaranteed to please the Resistance: Donald Trump is the lousiest president of all time.

Yep, Trump ranks dead last, at 45, behind such unloved or barely remembered leaders as James Buchanan, William Henry Harrison, and Franklin Pierce.

The scholars put Abraham Lincoln (who else?) at No. 1, George Washington at No. 2, and Franklin D. Roosevelt at No. 3, rankings that are unchanged from the last time this exercise was conducted, in 2014. (Among the notable shifts since then: Barack Obama jumped ten spots to No. 8; Andrew Jackson, whose virulent racism has fallen out of favor in some quarters, plummeted from No. 10 to No. 15; and Ulysses Grant, who is very hot right now, went up seven places.)
