Trump’s first year in office was so bad that scholars already rank him as the worst president ever

    You can read the entire survey here. The survey also found that Obama was the 8th best President in US history which is a significant improvement over his initial ranking of 18th best in 2014, when this survey was last performed. Trump is not erasing Obama's legacy. He is only making Obama great again.

    This survey also found that Trump is the most divisive President in US history and given given the last 72 hours when Trump made the slaughter of 17 teenagers about him, blamed his own FBI, refused to attack Russia, and even rage tweeted Oprah Winfrey, that should not be surprising.

    Is there a chance that Trump's rankings improve dramatically? Sure, but I doubt it.

    Most presidents are not ranked accurately for 20 years.

    No, there's no chance. He was never fit for the office and some of us knew it when he started his campaign. He can't change because it's who/what he is.

    Totally agree.... In 2040, when Trump is + 20, we'll be building statues of James Buchanan....

    Ah! So you're one of those who didn't see his unfitness and still can't see it. Well, there are some people like that but they're a minority at least.

    True.

    Compared to a MISTAKENLY-ELECTED, UNPREPARED IMBECILE (like Trump) James Buchanan is positively Lincolnesque.

    And the GOP is still afraid to remove him. Is President Pence REALLY that much worse in their eyes? I think this presidency will go down in history as the moment the GOP decided to commit suicide.

    Even if he was accidentally great, they'd still say he was the worst.

    I'm pretty sure that the ideologues have implemented Full Demonization mode, which is non-reversible.

    However, the more I read these results, there is one hysterically funny thing in there that seriously detracts from some of their qualifications.

    SNIP
    Respondents were current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, which is the foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics.
    ENDSNIP

    How is it possible that 5 of these idiots didn't know the 4 presidents currently on Mt. Rushmore??? Ruh Roh... I also seriously want to know who voted that Richard Nixon should be the next president added to Mt. Rushmore???? 2 best laughs I've had all day...

    I just surveyed the scholars and found the scholars to be the worst scholars in history.

    Holly crap, the actual source is the New York Times who has one entire page dedicated to fake news retractions. I **** you not -> https://www.nytimes.com/section/corrections

    There must be over a thousand fake news stories that were published by the New York Times.

    What the **** went wrong today ???
    No Corrections: February 19, 2018 !!!!!!!

    There's still 8 and 1/2 hours to go before the end of the day.

    And if the truth ever comes out, people will find Obama was THE WORST and was actually a TRAITOR. Instead of being idolized, he, Hildebeast, and the rest of their minions should be going to prison for treasonous deeds against this country. EVERY thing Obama did was to the detriment of America while coincidentally helping the Middle East. All who followed the news during his term and was paying attention knew that.

    As a staunch follower of politics and a true patriot who actually voted for Obama (but ONLY his first term) because at that time being the great speaker he was, I believed his hogwash lies and thought he would bring the country closer together racially and hopefully end racism forever. At that time I didn't follow party lines but rather voted for who I thought might be best for the country. About six months into his presidency however, I realized I and his other supporters had been duped because he was just the opposite wanting to divide the country and stir the race pot even more. Everything he did was detrimental to America while coincidentally helping the Middle East. It was like Obama was following some, "How to bring down a country in eight years" manual.

    The campaign brainwashing against Trump was so widespread, no one wanted to give him a chance and therefore no one wanted to work for him. So staffing was difficult to say the least.

    I could write a book on what I know about the nefarious deeds of not only Obama but Hillary and Bill, and all of their minions that were placed in office to do their bidding. But for this post I will stay on topic: Below is from a recent post I wrote on this forum. Again after reading on, bear in mind I initially liked Obama and voted for him so this was hard for me to discover as well.

    FINALLY...what I've been saying for years is now coming out. Anyone who's been following Obama's actions objectively like I have would know he's never been a fan of America but has in fact been doing all he can to bring the country down. And strangely everything he's done has instead helped the Middle East.

    1. Right out of the gate after his inauguration his most important order of business was trying to get the detainees from Guantanamo Bay released which later reportedly rejoined their old terrorist organizations.

    2. Benghazi when he ignored the pleas of Ambassador Stevens and three others for more security. Since viewing his other actions that always helped the Middle East, I now wonder if he didn't intentionally have them murdered.

    3. He changed the rules of engagement for our military saying they could not engage in a fight unless they first received orders even when being fired upon which caused numerous deaths thirty of which were special ops.

    4. He bowed to the Saudi King.

    5. Defended Islam all throughout and even admitted to being a Muslim.

    6. Iran Nuclear deal which was a complete loss for the U.S. but an extreme gain for Iran. He traded skids of cash and 5 Taliban commanders for one worthless deserter traitor named Bowe Bergdahl. And reportedly the cash has been used to fund their terrorist activities and to build nukes.

    7. He seriously cut military spending sending U.S men into battle with broken rifles, defunct planes, tanks and all other equipment needing serious repairs.

    8. Blew America's money and worked hard to start racial tensions in the U.S. using known racists like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Eric Holder, and the NAACP in that effort.

    9. Fast and Furious when Obama armed Mexican drug lords which got border agents killed.

    10. Spying on anyone who got in his way which is now unfolding in the news.

    11. Stirred the race pot causing our nation's police and others harm while dividing the country..

    12. Set up judges across the nation to vote in favor of law breaking sanctuary cities. This was done to set up havens for illegals to ensure future votes for the democratic party so they could stay in office FOREVER.

    13. All the above while also advocating for gun control to take American's arms away which would be their only defense if invaded.

    Question is: Did he also SET UP the following ambush? I definitely think so.

    "30 US special forces, most SEALs from Team Six, killed when chopper shot down."

    How is Trump the most polarizing president in history, do these people even know who was the president before him? Let me tell you who it was, it was the guy who said elections have consequences, it was the guy who said republicans can ride in the back of the bus, it was the guy who pretty much said if you disagree with me you're a racist, and it was the guy who divided this country along racial and identity lines.

    This is so liberalesque, things don't go their way so they throw tantrums, call people names and fester in the hate that resides within them, they don't know there is no participation trophy for losing the presidency so they go on idiotic rampages of stupidity.

    Why would any rational person read beyond this line in the OP?

    Trump is more polarizing because I can find 4 quotes from this past ****ing weekend that are worse than the pitiful list you crafted from 8 years.

    I can't help but notice a little humor to the title of this thread. You don't have to be a 'scholar' to realize that we've had none worse. Most of my adult life I've always maintained that our government is structured in such a way that it could run efficiently even if Howdy Doody was the president. The mistake I made is I figured the government could run efficiently if the House and Senate had the interest of the American people as their motivation. Since out House and Senate is interested in pleasing their master things have really turned to s*** in one year. I wish Mueller would hurry up.

    KJohnson's post was serious and accurate and that's the best answer you can come up with? Somehow I expected more from the highly educated and intellectual elite, but being disappointed by the left is nothing new.
