Fox News reported on some new presidential rankings, which purportedly show Barack Obama as the #6 president in U.S. history and Donald Trump dead last, and MAGA was not happy.

Fox News on Sunday posted an article about the new rankings by the Presidential Greatness Project, which Fox describes as “a group of self-styled experts.” It states that Abraham “Lincoln topped the list of presidents in the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project expert survey for the third time, following his top spot in the rankings in the 2015 and 2018 versions of the survey.”

“Rounding out the top five in the rankings were Franklin Delano Roosevelt at number two, George Washington at three, Theodore Roosevelt at four, and Thomas Jefferson at five,” according to the report. “Trump was ranked in last place in the survey, being ranked worse than James Buchanan at 44, Andrew Johnson at 43, Franklin Pierce at 42, and William Henry Harrison at 41.”

The report states that Obama and Joe Biden “ranked an average of 6th and 13th, respectively, among Democrat respondents, and 15th and 30th by Republicans.”

    Who didn’t see that coming-Trump is the worst president.

    Remember when Trump asked Russia to help him win the election. Or when Trump thought light brought into the body would cure covid. Or when Trump believed the murderer Putin over our own government. Or…well I could go on, but Trump worked for that last spot on the list. He deserves it.

      I’d hazard a guess that it’s less to do with his conduct as president, rather more of what he actually did in office. I honestly can’t think of anything his administration “achieved” aside from massive tax cuts for the rich. Obama had the ACA, Biden has his massive economic recovery and job creation, Trump has nothing of value.

        . I honestly can’t think of anything his administration “achieved” aside from massive tax cuts for the rich.

        Does fucking up the covid response and breaking the brains of all Americans count as achievements?

        Usually when I try to think of it all I can remember is space force. Still a stupid name, and I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something better.

        Not sure if that’s achieved though, but was prolly a good thing to have a dedicated group to it then funneling through the Air Force

          The Space Force was a long time coming. Trump didn’t come up with the idea for an entire new branch of the armed forces and have it created while he was in office.

          I still have a hard time taking them seriously, with the way it was rolled out. I know it’s probably a good idea, given how critical space technology is, and that it will just keep getting more and more critical, but wow did they make it sound ridiculous at first. It’s hard to get past that first inpression

            Agreed. Add to it Steve Carell’s show (although wasn’t great) after definitely didn’t help its credibility.

      Remember Hurricane Sharpie‽ That alone should be a good indicator that he’s nothing but trash on his best day.

      Well uh definitely no likely Trump voters and likely about half of ‘independents’, so something like 60 ish percent of American voters?

      You must either be European or otherwise blissfully ignorant of American society.
