Jeff Sessions. Omarosa.
Scaramucci . “The Fixer” Cohen.
Those (and others) were clearly mistakes. Imbeciles he picked who ended up costing him more time & headaches than who helped him or promoted his agenda.

James K. Polk never gets enough credit. Took all of the southwest US via conquest from Mexico. Largest teritorial expansion in US history.
Don't even get me started. Dude was a complete bad arse. Gets no credit but he's a top 5 president of all time.

His agenda is leftism
Posted on 12/4/24 at 10:31 pm to Heirofslytherin88
Care to elaborate?
Because his stance on wokeness & borders is anything but leftism.
*ETA - Yeah, didn't think so.

(In no particular order)
1. Clint Papas—he was our class president when I was a senior in HS. Great guy.
2. Ed Rosenblatt—President of Geffen Records during its heyday in the 80s and 90s.
3. Red Auerbach—President of the Boston Celtics in 1978 when they drafted Larry Bird.
4. Don Henley—President of The Eagles. Well, he thought he was, anyway.
5. August "Gussie" Busch—President of the St. Louis Cardinals during the 50s, 60s, 70s, and into the 80s.
6. Ray Kassar—President of the Atari Corporation when I got my first Atari game system. Yeah, I know that he was at the helm when the video game crash happened in 1983, but I don't care. The OP asked for favorites, not a best-of list.
7. Lamar Miller—President of the local Elks Lodge when we got a new pool renovation in the 80s. Still remember playing "gator" in that pool.
8, 9, and 10. Chris Ballew, Jason Finn, and Dave Dederer. Because Lump ruled.

Your list is good except W. Not a fan. Switch him out for Polk. He headed up an exponential westward expansion so I put him there instead.

Price control, Keynesian economics lover Nixon being on these lists is wiiiiiiild.

I've lived under 10 presidents so far, though I would say I was only politically aware for 7 of them.
I was born around the time Nixon was president. I don't remember him. I do remember the one right after him (Ford). I kinda got politically aware around Carter. We are about the same age

I have no memory of LBJ or Nixon Maybe I know they were president but have lost all memory of know about them.
Ford I have no memory of but that's likely because I Was not living in the US for the majority of his term.
I have memory of knowing Carter was president and hearing everyone complaining about him. Plus I was into SNL at the npoint and Dan Aykroyd played him a lot.
Reagan was the first one I really started getting into the political of the president and government. about 12yo. Again I was probably a late political bloomer due to living outside of the US for stretches in the 70's.
Carter's address to the nation - SNL

My favorites:
Teddy Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Truman
Polk
Reagan
Jefferson
Washington
Lincoln
Trump
Adams
The greatest:
Teddy Roosevelt
Lincoln
Jefferson
Polk
Eisenhower
Truman
FDR
Reagan
Washington
Madison
*I don't think Trump's first term gets him top 10 but I do think his second term could be one of the very most consequential. We'll see.
I also believe LBJ is the most overrated when historians do these rankings. They agree with his policies so they rank him high, and no doubt he was VERY influential and effective, but he set in motion chaos and division that he did not live to see but haunts us to this day.
