John Kennedy—he was a great guy, handsome. He was the second-most good-looking president, they say.

Donald Trump has unleashed his own bizarre personal ranking of former American presidents.
Unsurprisingly, Trump, 80, put himself at the top of the list as “The Greatest” of all time in his Thursday Truth Social post.
A generous Trump also declared former Presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson to be “Great”, but not on his elite level.

Cleveland and Coolidge should replace FDR and Wilson (socialists).
Ditto.
While it's not my style, such trolling -- like the Gulf of America and Lake America -- are causing the Leftists to come out of hidey-holes a lot these days. FR threads are sometimes filled with trolling, as we know. While annoying, it serves to clarify some folks' personae, even as we use screen-names or monikers. All those Lefties get twisted in knots over this stuff. I wish for them more and tighter knots....
I doubt it will bother the left saying that their idol FDR is one of the best presidents.
Plus LBJ was a crook. AG Bobby Kennedy was tightening the legal noose on LBJ’s bag man .
Bang. Once JFK was out of the picture, so was AG obby Kennedy , Johnson was safe.
George W. Bush, who also missed his Truth Social ranking, has a plaque that reads that he “started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened.”
> A joke? <
Yeah, I struggled a little for the proper word to describe this latest post of Trump’s. And I settled on “joke”. I decided on nothing stronger, because otherwise:
Half the responses:
You have TDS! You’re a troll from the Bolshevik Party!
Etc.
That’s too exhausting for an old man like me.
🙂
Yeah, thats what I want from the leader of the free world. Schtick.
This is guaranteed to rally the base for the midterms.
You ARE aware that for most of his life Trump was a Democrat. Or were you not?
And Cool Cal Coolidge was.
See tagline.
But no matter how you style TDS. The old way of Trump Derangement Syndrome or the new definition of Trump Deification Syndrome....
Trump has it. Has a bad case of TDS.
I’d certainly rank LBJ in the bottom three. And I wouldn’t argue with making him the worst president ever.
As you noted, he is responsible for the tragedy of Vietnam. Plus the “Great Society” handouts destroyed the black family unit. That damage is probably irreversible.
Actually, given the level of Leftie TDS, the simple fact that President Trump -- or whoever does much of his social media trolling -- might imply some Lefty's icon might well be enough to send them into conniptions.
I had a recent and somewhat civil exchange with a female acquaintance who was blathering on about trans stuff, and I simply said, "Okay, I'll 'identify' as a female today," and she lost it. When one plays games, one never expects an opposing "team" to best them using said rules.
One saw this in a recent Oxford Union debate in which the mere possibility of showing a "cartoon of Mohammad" drove the Lefties and Muzzies into conniptions. Turns out the graphic was of Burnham.
I suspect the real game is that bottom row of presidents ---- "failures" being Biden, Obama, and, tucked away at the end, Carter.
Two Lefties and a TDS-er walked into a bar....
I’ve noticed a strange pattern of people in their 80s suddenly becoming obsessed with creating AI slop. My social media is full of this stuff. The older the person, the more they post it. Even Bob Dylan, 85, now exclusively posts AI slop he charges money for.
Grant is on the bottom for his association with the Act of 1871.
I can only surmise that JFK is not up on this chart because this is just one item of a larger rollout. Trump recognizes JFK’s pluses: EO 11110 and disdain for the CIA.
LBJ’s and GHWB’s omission due to his being a criminal involved with JFK assassination, and dealing with their history in the future. Same with GWB (911).
Yeah, what in the world is Wilson doing on that great list..?
Half the responses:

Sometimes, after making a hot post, I stopped reading FR for a day. Then I opened the New Posts window and closed it without reading it.
Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan.
Posting AI slop. Along with his habit of posting Trump Social slop in the middle of the night.
Not normal.
