Interesting video. Trump's list seems to be based on a list published in Life magazine in 1948. He simply added himself, Biden, Clinton, Obama and Carter. Original list at 4:18. This explains the missing presidents in his list.

Any list that doesn’t have Wilson within spitting distance of last is wrong.

“He simply added himself, Biden, Clinton, Obama and Carter.”

I very much doubt he added anything. I suspect someone else did it and he reposted it.

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

Posted on 8/28/2026, 7:09:24 AM 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.

My lifetime: (starting with Truman)
Reagan and Trump tied for best
Carter: third worst
Obama: second worst
Big Guy: worst (by a 10 million light year margin)

Probably why LBJ is not in the worst category, as I pointed out on the original thread. Having businesses under his wife’s name profiting from government war contracts for Vietnam (as well as other Democrat friends and friends of friends) and thus having the war conducted in a corrupt and stalemate manner regardless of the American and Vietnamese lives lost. Not to mention his social welfare policies on the home front helping to destroy the black family unit.

He should have removed Grant from the “Failures.” That is Lost Cause BS. Grant was the original Civil Rights president in the right way. He also got rid of the income tax, paid down debt and got rid of Civil War inflation and unleashed an economic boom. He surrounded himself with some bad people who were corrupt and created scandals but he wasn’t.

I agree completely. Grant deserves better. He was an honorable man who trusted people to do the right thing, and they fully took advantage of him.

In damage to our Republic

LBJ & NIXON are the worst. Every president since has just been trying to survive and the US survive going down the wrong path that they sent us.

I agree with your best/worst list 100%. Starting with my 1st, Eisenhower.

Nixon wasn’t great but he was far from the worst of my lifetime. And yes,LBJ was pretty bad...maybe I’d list him as only a tiny bit better than Carter.
