Do you think Donald Trump is on track to be remembered as the worst president in American history? For years, there’s been ongoing debate about his place in the presidential rankings, and he’s consistently landed near the bottom—often just above historically weak leaders like James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson. After his first term, labeling Trump the worst president was often dismissed, but that perception has noticeably shifted.
Considering how his first term unfolded—and how troubled his second term already appears—it’s becoming increasingly difficult to argue he won’t end up at the very bottom of the list. While some past presidents have shown concerning behaviour or entertained dangerous ideas, none seem to have pushed the boundaries as far or caused as much lasting damage as Trump.
