It’s been long discussed where Trump is likely to rank among US Presidents, and for a while now he’s been consistently near the very bottom. He’s usually only beaten out by figures like Buchanan, Johnson, and maybe a couple other bad Presidents of that time period. I remember as well after his first term that it wasn’t uncommon to be mocked if you said that Trump was the worst President.
However, I think with how his first term went and how horrendously this second one is already starting, I don’t see how he doesn’t get ranked at dead last. I don’t think there can be an argument made that there is one worse; many flirted with some of Trump’s worst tendencies and ideas, but none went as far or were as bad as he’s been.

He shouldn’t.
We have a bunch of slave owners and sex traffickers as early presidents. In the grand scheme of things he will likely be in the bottom of the middle.
