The Siena Presidential Ranking Poll Screws Up Again. Unfair to James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson.

American Presidents: Greatest and Worst

Donnie still ranks ahead of James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson instead of dead last, 44th as opposed to 46th.

That sucks.

OK, Buchanan started a Civil War, but he inherited the problems leading to it; he didn't create them.

Johnson only got impeached once.

Historians aren't what they used to be.

We know TFFG was impeached not once but twice. Also how many presidents, while in office, mounted an insurrection against the USA ? Unfuckingbelieveable 😲😲😲😲😲😲

...leading to the well stated conspiracy theory in Lincoln's "House Divided" speech with its brilliant allegory, so Buchanan sucked, but again, he didn't cause the divisions, he merely swept them under the rug.

In Trump's case, perhaps the house had rats in the walls, but Trump invited them into the kitchen to feed them, then into the dining room for gourmet treatment, then invited them to freely gnaw on the furniture and finally the beams holding the house together.

Trump is by far, the worst President in US history. Even Buchanan can't compare.
