    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.
