Fox News reported on some new presidential rankings, which purportedly show Barack Obama as the #6 president in U.S. history and Donald Trump dead last, and MAGA was not happy.
Fox News on Sunday posted an article about the new rankings by the Presidential Greatness Project, which Fox describes as “a group of self-styled experts.” It states that Abraham “Lincoln topped the list of presidents in the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project expert survey for the third time, following his top spot in the rankings in the 2015 and 2018 versions of the survey.”
…
“Rounding out the top five in the rankings were Franklin Delano Roosevelt at number two, George Washington at three, Theodore Roosevelt at four, and Thomas Jefferson at five,” according to the report. “Trump was ranked in last place in the survey, being ranked worse than James Buchanan at 44, Andrew Johnson at 43, Franklin Pierce at 42, and William Henry Harrison at 41.”
The report states that Obama and Joe Biden “ranked an average of 6th and 13th, respectively, among Democrat respondents, and 15th and 30th by Republicans.”
Honestly Andrew Jackson ought to be way down at the bottom too
Guess whose portrait they had hung in the oval when Trump took over the job?

If Trump gets a second term, things like Jacksons “Indian Removal Act” and other horrible acts will be a minor issue in comparison.
Jackson is pretty complicated. He did so much heinous shit, but he also did a lot to keep the south in line in the early 19th century. Middle if the pack is usually a fair place for Jackson.
I think genociding natives outweighs keeping the south in line enough to put him at the bottom
You’d think so, but here we are.
Yeah genocide and he has a personal body count from dueling while in office.
