Trump Posts Bizarre Ranking of America’s Greatest Presidents
Daily Beast ^ | 08/28/2026 | Cameron Adams

Posted on 08/28/2026 5:09:24 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

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.

Along with his habit of posting Trump Social slop in the middle of the night.

He’s been reposting twitter or truth social posts in the middle of the night for 10 years.

Woodrow Wilson was one of our worst presidents.

Honest question: What purpose does this serve?

It's like the red dot produced by laser pointers used to entertain cats. It will keep the TDS crowd preoccupied chasing the red dot while he conducts the serious business of taming Iran, containing China, and waging peace in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Harding needs a much higher rating. No president ever slashed government spending and bureaucracy as much as he did. Coolidge also deserves to be ranked near the top.

> Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan. [bottom three] <

Wilson, for sure. But I’d give Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan a pass. Both men were just in over their heads.

I’d replace them with:

LBJ: His Great Society destroyed the black family unit. That damage is probably irreversible.

George W. Bush: Right after 9/11 Bush had a unique opportunity to crush radical Islam. Put that genie back in the bottle. Instead, Bush told us “Islam is peace.” Then he started two disastrous wars.

Result? Radical Islam is on the march today, and is a serious threat to the entire West.

They need to build a data center in the middle of Mar-a-Lago to handle all the AI slop posted on Truth Social

Too early to say but you're probably right.

I think a lot of it depends on Trump's successor.

Vance or Rubio?

Perhaps AOC may get elected in 2028?

Frustration isn’t trolling. That people express an opinion you do not share means nothing more than that is their opinion. It’s not automatically ruled invalid because you feel it isn’t. It doesn’t encourage people to get out and vote. It doesn’t make them feel like their problems and concerns are being addressed. That the big issues are front and center.

This isn’t an election that you want people apathetic for.

Or it could be Trump is an 80-year-olds who keep telling the same tired jokes over and over while the family reassures them how brilliantly witty he is

You could put something like width=’40%’ before the > so that the picture won’t be so big.

More proof he is nuts and shouldn’t be President.

This doesn’t help him or the Republicans winning in November.

This isn’t cute or Presidential.

Imagine a Democrat doing the stuff he is doing. This website will go bananas.

I attend all of Trump’s rallies via Right Side Broadcasting on Youtube. He’s still smart as a whip and not the least bit jaded.

Because Trump was a long term Democrat, and FDR and Wilson were Democrats. He obviously admires them. Its really not that complicated.

Read the book “The men who killed Kennedy” by Roger Stone (yes THAT Roger Stone)

He makes a compelling case that LBJ was behind it

In the next picture he posted, Trump put Wilson among the worst presidents.
