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.
With this phrasing i’d expect the opposite result, Trump voters giving him a perfect 100 tremendous greatness would average out with all the zeroes and at least put him above the 30ish presidents that nobody really remembers
Hopefully this is a sign that the MAGA brain rot is going away.
They did not poll the general public, only people who read books - and even write them - literally for a living.
