Surprise, surprise, surprise, historians rank Trump last even though there was a booming economy, energy independence, and no American involvement in foreign wars.

Gomar Pyle would be a better president than ice cream Brandon.

What are the criteria for measuring greatness or effectiveness of the presidents?

It takes years, sometimes decades, to assess a president’s job performance.

I ask critics of Trump what he did that was so bad. They immediately ask what he did that was good. I'm prepared and unswayed and say, "You first." Silence. I don't speak with many of those people but when I do the response is consistent.

I hate at least half the people in this country.

I was talking to my tax preparer, a life-long Democrat, and Trump came up. She said while she didn’t vote for him in 2016, she did in 2020 because if you set aside Trump’s being an egotist and a smart aleck, he did a lot of great things. She also described a possible Harris presidency as a sh*t show.

The historians who judge Trump to be the worst weren’t paying attention during his term, and they certainly haven’t been paying attention the last three years. Or they are hacks.

The survey was conducted online among more than 500 members of the American Political Science Association …
Zero credibility.
Today, APSA has become barely distinguishable from the Democratic Party and its far-left wing. Its web page runs a constant stream of anti-Trump or anti-Republican news.

This year, it issued a statement supporting the anti-Trump “March for Science” held in DC in April and another against the Executive Order on a temporary ban for travelers from several Middle Eastern countries. It also felt the need to issue a Letter to Members after the 2016 election (there was no letter issued after the 2012 or 2008 elections) saying the election had “cast into sharp relief an array of issues” for political scientists. I used to think that’s what elections were supposed to do. …

— Bruce Gilley, “Why I’m Leaving APSA”
And just to illustrate Professor Gilley’s point a bit more . . .
Republicans and conservatives notably rank Trump worse than Biden, as well. Trump ranked 41st and 43rd by Republicans and conservatives, respectively. Meanwhile, Biden was ranked 30th by both.

Republicans and conservatives ranked Washington the greatest president, while Democrats ranked him third and independents second. …
I do have to wonder what APSA calls a “conservative”. The definition of “Republican” is endlessly fungible after all . . .

critical thinking requires immediate dismissal of opinions by people with Trump derangement syndrome as biased and subjective

Let’s see:

Trump kept us out of wars.

Lincoln got about a million killed in his war.

Not giving it a click but what are the excuses for rating Trump the worst?

Oh look. Leftists in Academia hate Trump and love the tyrant Lincoln.

What a shocker!

Lincoln was hated in his day by the northern elites (and of course democrats) as much as Trump is now. Time will show the truth.

“Historians rank Trump worst president in history”

I didn’t know the Biden administration hired historians.

Gomer Pyle would clearly be better than a number of presidents. In my personal order of presidents, I order them as follows:

1 - Washington
2 - Grant
3 - Trump
4 - Lincoln
5 - ADAMS
6 - Jefferson

It’s BLM month. No one is allowed to be objective and grading is on the DEI curve.

Since when are members of the American Political Science Association “historians”?

(Hint: Never)

Political scientists are hardly historians.
