So this is what Making America Great Again looks like:

Donald Trump ranked worst president in US history by nearly 200 political scientists

Nearly 200 of America's top political scientists have voted Donald Trump the worst president in US history.

According to the 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey, Mr Trump ranks even lower than disgraced President Richard Nixon – even among conservatives. Abraham Lincoln, unsurprisingly, takes the top prize. Mr Nixon sits at 33.

The study, conducted every four years, surveys social science researchers from the American Political Science Association’s section on presidents and executive politics. It asks the experts to rank each president’s greatness on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being great, 50 being average, and 0 being a total failure.

Mr Trump averaged a score of 12.34, bumping James Buchanan – the president who saw the US descend into the Civil War – out of the bottom spot. The result comes just months after Trump finished his first year in office as the most unpopular president in modern history.

Mr Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, jumped 10 places since the survey was last conducted in 2014, to spot number eight. George W Bush also climbs in the rankings, making it five places up to number 30.

Bill Clinton did not fair was well as the other living presidents, dropping five places down to 14th. Only Andrew Jackson dropped more – down six places – possibly owing to increased attention on how he treated Native Americans.

The top seven presidents remained the exact same, with Abraham Lincoln on top, followed by George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.

Mr Trump was accompanied in the bottom five by Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Harrison, and Mr Buchanan.

Researchers Brandon Rottinghaus, of the University of Houston, and Justin Vaughn, of Boise State University, said they surveyed 170 political science experts for the study. Of those experts, 57.2 per cent identified as Democrats, 12.7 per cent as Republicans, and 27.1 per cent as independents.

While Republicans and Democrats differed on how they viewed figures like Mr Obama and Mr Bush, they were in fairly close agreement on My Trump: Conservatives voted him 40th out of 45.

The one area where Mr Trump did come out on top was in the “most polarising” section, in which the researchers asked the scientists to list the five presidents they found most divisive. Mr Trump was ranked most polarising by 90 of the 170 respondents, and second-most polarising by another 20.

FoxNews (I go there because it's important to read the enemy's dispatches) has a story by Marc Thiessen.

I'll just quote the title and the first paragraph:

Marc Thiessen: Trump could be the most honest president in modern history

Donald Trump may be remembered as the most honest president in modern American history.

Don't get me wrong, Trump lies all the time. He said that he "enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history" (actually they are the eighth largest) and that "our economy is the strongest it's ever been in the history of our country" (which may one day be true, but not yet). In part, it's a New York thing -- everything is the biggest and the best.

Pretty bad typo:



You can support Trump, or you can support the rule of law, but you obviously can't do both...

I wasn't surprised that the suit was ultimately dismissed, and I'm also not surprised that Trump proved himself to be a horse's ass once again. He never fails to entertain--he just can't help himself.

The truth slipped out in Trump's tweet: "She knows nothing about me, a total con!"

[RayThom]

Horseface... horseface... neener, neener.

That's so mature.

It just makes me so proud to have a President who has the courage to stand up to a porn actress and who is fearlessly willing to take the time to engage in a juvenile public name calling contest with her...

The willingness to do this is a quality that has been sorely lacking in previous Presidents; thank God we finally have one who is equal to the task...

ETA:

She must be one helluva con artist to have conned Mr. I Never Settle out of 150K when she "knows nothing" about him...

[Econoline]

Well, at least he admits he is "a total con"!
