Fox News reported on some new presidential rankings, which purportedly show Barack Obama as the #6 president in U.S. history and Donald Trump dead last, and MAGA was not happy.

Fox News on Sunday posted an article about the new rankings by the Presidential Greatness Project, which Fox describes as “a group of self-styled experts.” It states that Abraham “Lincoln topped the list of presidents in the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project expert survey for the third time, following his top spot in the rankings in the 2015 and 2018 versions of the survey.”

“Rounding out the top five in the rankings were Franklin Delano Roosevelt at number two, George Washington at three, Theodore Roosevelt at four, and Thomas Jefferson at five,” according to the report. “Trump was ranked in last place in the survey, being ranked worse than James Buchanan at 44, Andrew Johnson at 43, Franklin Pierce at 42, and William Henry Harrison at 41.”

The report states that Obama and Joe Biden “ranked an average of 6th and 13th, respectively, among Democrat respondents, and 15th and 30th by Republicans.”

    Buchanan was the last pro-slavery president, who made Kansas a slave state and helped cause the Civil War(Jan 6th but way worse), exacerbated the Panic of 1857 by not providing any stimulus (Covid recession recieved quite a bit of stimulus during the Trump admin), he was also apparently really corrupt and didn’t do anything to help normal people (maybe the same in relation to their day but corruption was way easier and more widespread in Buchanan’s time). Pretty common choice for worst president. Inarguably worse than Trump I’d say.
