Buchanan was awful. Hayes stole an election similarly in some ways to Biden in 2020. Truman was pretty bad too.

The worst are Wilson and Biden (if his plans succeed) by a country mile.

Trump led us in a remarkable time of peace & prosperity while surviving multiple coup attempts and an unprecedented barrage of slander by the Democratic ran media.

Biden is going to rewrite the book on how to be a shitty president. He’s legitimately senile, was a known idiot before that, and is one of the dirtiest politicians of all time. Oh, and he’s the biggest creep in DC besides maybe the Podesta brothers.

Reminds me of the time Obama self-anointed himself as the best foreign policy president ever.

Evidently he was forgetting the following presidents that handled large wars and crises, and these are just the headliners. What did zero do that would put him ahead of these cats?

Washington
Monroe
T Roosevelt
F Roosevelt
Truman
Eisenhower
Kennedy
Reagan
HW Bush

And he is is charge of absolutely nothing but his mouth.

He represents the downfall of the USA - we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth after Obama sowed the swamp with truly evil muskrats. Trump miraculously came along and gave us a fighting chance, but they overwhelmed him with the the bullhorn in the hands of the mass media. 2020 was our Waterloo. We were stabbed in the back by our own worthless brethren.

I have only a slight hope that a reversal of fortune can succeed in Nov. If not, we are indeed doomed to everlasting tyranny.

The remarkable thing about Trump is he managed to put the country back on track DESPITE the constant, unrelenting, 24/7 attacks by the (D)-Hadists and their cohorts in the Media.

Teddy was a terrible president who did more than any other president before him, apart from Lincoln, to expand the power of the federal government.

Jefferson doubled the size of our nation without firing a shot, that puts him in my top 5.

The OP list is pretty solid. I might consider moving John Adams or James Madison into one of the top spots though, but it’s be hard to determine who to bounce.

Bottom five- I may replace Carter with Obama. Carter’s biggest problem was trying to micromanage everything while Obama’s “fundamental transformation” was intentional and is essentially what we’re dealing with right now. Including FDR in the bottom five is definitely spot on. Wilson also gets an honorable mention if not actually breaking into the bottom five.

How are we defining “best” and “worst?”

It looks like you are using “agreement with my personal ideology.”

A fair/unbiased list might be based upon some more-objective criteria, might it not?

Biden may do the same, just not in geography or legal residents.
