Is Donald Trump the Worst President in U.S. History?
The debate over Donald Trump’s place in the historical rankings of U.S. Presidents has been ongoing for years. From early on, he’s consistently found himself near the bottom, often ranked alongside controversial figures such as James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson—leaders widely criticized for their failures during pivotal moments in American history.
Following Trump's first term, claiming he was the worst President was often met with skepticism or even ridicule. Yet, as his second term unfolds in an increasingly chaotic and divisive manner, the argument for placing him at the very bottom has gained significant traction.
While some past Presidents have dabbled in policies or behaviors that echoed Trump’s, few have matched the scale or intensity of his actions. Given both the controversial nature of his governance and the impact it has had on American democracy, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to argue that any President has performed worse.
