Wilson and Jackson are both worse than Trump. He was bad, but not refounding the KKK, segregation of The US Government, or Trail of Tears, bad. Heck Polk and Monroe could be considered worse than Trump and most people can’t remember who the first one was.
And yet on the other hand, none of them ever attempted a coup after losing an election. All I’m saying is, he’s in the running for worst of all time, but I don’t feel we ought to stroke that part of his ego by giving it to him.
Even with that. He’s a mediocre president at best. The absolute worst POTUSs were, in this order, #1 Wilson, #2 Jackson, #3 Reagan, #4 Nixon, #5 Polk, #6 Monroe.
He should be the 25th or 26th president. That puts him in the 45th percentile, which is exactly where he belongs. Ineffective, unintelligent, unremarkable, but trending towards greed, selfishness, and stupidity. He should always be the lowest on the scale, that always coincides with the 45th percentile.
For some reason we rarely remember the truly effective evil presidents.
