Daily Beast ^ | 08/28/2026 | Cameron Adams

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.

No-shows on his Truth Social list included John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, William Henry Harrison, James A. Garfield, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Honest question: What purpose does this serve?

I’m surprised LBJ isn’t under the failures category.

Donald Trump/Truth Social

Donald Trump has been busy with AI slop to hang with Lincoln and Washington.

Wilson: Great
Coolidge: Below Average
Reagan: not even mentioned

This had better be another one of Trump’s jokes.
And it probably is.

FDR and Wilson were “great” and Coolidge was “below average”?

Scary list, and telling to boot.

Coolidge was the last president to balance the budget in all the years he was in office. That alone should rate him as (at least) Good.

Oh, well. I guess no one in DC sees that as a worthy accomplishment any more.

Right. IMO LBJ was the worst president ever. Worse than Obama and Biden.

Just ask 57,000 dead Americans, if that were possible. Not to mention his Great Society which still plagues the US.

As the midterms approach, I wonder if the party is doing anything toward increasing turn out and increasing GOP support.

Wilson was a racist who got us into a stupid war. Other than that, great President.
