WHOOPS!!
Donald Trump finished 45th and rock bottom of a list ranking US presidents by greatness, trailing even “historically calamitous chief executives” who failed to stop the civil war or botched its aftermath.


Worse for the likely Republican nominee this year, his probable opponent, Joe Biden, debuted at No 14.

“Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall,” Justin Vaughn and Brandon Rottinghaus, the political scientists behind the survey, wrote in the Los Angeles Times.

Rottinghaus, of the University of Houston, and Vaughn, from Coastal Carolina University, considered responses from 154 scholars, most connected to the American Political Science Association.

The aim, the authors said, “was to create a ranking of presidential greatness that covered all presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden”, in succession to such lists compiled in 2015 and 2018.

“To do this, we asked respondents to rate each president on a scale of 0-100 for their overall greatness, with 0=failure, 50=average, and 100=great. We then averaged the ratings for each president and ranked them from highest average to lowest.”

At the top of the chart, there was little change from previous surveys – the latter of which also saw Trump, then in office, placed last. LOL

Abraham Lincoln, who won the civil war and ended slavery, was ranked first, ahead of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who saw the US through the Great Depression and the second world war. Next came George Washington, the first president, who won independence from Britain, then Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Harry Truman.

Barack Obama, the first Black president, to whom Biden was vice-president between 2009 and 2017, was seventh, up nine places.

Considering drops for Andrew Jackson (ninth in 2015 to 21st now) and Woodrow Wilson (10th to 15th), Rottinghaus and Vaughn noted the impact of campaigns for racial justice.

“Their reputations have consistently suffered in recent years as modern politics lead scholars to assess their early 19th and 20th century presidencies ever more harshly, especially their unacceptable treatment of marginalised people,” the authors wrote.

Jackson owned enslaved people and presided over the genocidal displacement of Native Americans. Wilson oversaw victory in the first world war and helped set up the League of Nations, but was an avowed racist who segregated the federal workforce.

Other major movers included Ulysses S Grant (17th, up from 26th in 2015), whose administration generated significant corruption but whose attempts to enforce post-civil war Reconstruction in southern states, including fighting the Ku Klux Klan, have helped fuel reconsideration.

Grant succeeded Andrew Johnson, Lincoln’s successor and the first president to be impeached. Like Johnson, Lincoln’s predecessor, James Buchanan, who failed to stop the slide to civil war, also sits higher than Trump on Rottinghaus and Vaughn’s list.

Trump is a uniquely divisive figure, his legislative record slim, his refusal to accept defeat by Biden leading to a deadly attack on Congress, and his post-presidential career dogged by 91 criminal charges arising from actions in office or on the campaign trail.

YIKES

Trump names and shames 11 people on his White House blacklist for second administration​

President-elect Donald Trump has named and shamed 11 people who are on the White House blacklist to serve in his administration.

The list includes some of Trump’s well known “enemies” who served in his first administration and have since spoken out about the dangers of a second Trump term, including John Bolton and Mike Pence.

In the rant, Trump called Nikki Haley a “birdbrain,” Liz Cheney a “psycho,” and accused those on the list of “suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people for The United States Government,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday evening.

“In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), ‘Dumb as a Rock’ John Bolton, ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS.”



Bolton, who served as Trump’s national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, has been particularly vocal about the dangers the president-elect poses in a second term. “The risk of an international crisis of the 19th-century variety is much more likely in a second Trump term,” he said at the end of last year. “Given Trump’s inability to focus on coherent decision-making, I’m very worried about how that might look.”

Trump and Pence surprised onlookers at President Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week when they shook hands, but the president-elect’s latest outburst suggests he still holds a grudge against his former vice president.

General Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump, incurred the wrath of the president-elect when he warned that he is “fascist to the core” and the “most dangerous person to this country” ahead of the presidential election.



The Cheneys campaigned against Trump during the 2024 presidential election and rallied behind Kamala Harris, while the conservative group Americans for Prosperity initially backed Haley for the Republican presidential nominee over Trump.

Trump’s nominees to serve in his cabinet have begun their Senate confirmation hearings this week and his choices are fiercely loyal to him and his America First agenda.

Bolton characterized Trump’s cabinet choices as those who will be “subservient” to him.

“And the word loyalty is often used. I think that’s the wrong word,” Bolton said last year. “Actually, I think what Trump wants from his advisors is fealty, really a futile sense of subservience. And you know, he may get that, but I will tell you that that will not serve him well over the course of his next term, and it certainly won’t serve the country well.”

A NATIONAL DISGRACE!!!
 
"Survey of 154 scholars places 45th president behind even ‘historically calamitous chief executives’ linked to civil war"

Frightening bunch. Any further left on a flat earth and they would fall right off and not be missed.
 

Why did Republican scholars rank Trump worst president? SC professor shares insights.​

Why did Republican scholars rank Trump worst president? SC professor shares insights.
A professor from South Carolina’s Coastal Carolina University and one from the University of Houston got 154 responses from 500 Republican, Democratic and independent historians and political scientists who ranked Donald Trump as America’s worst president. Abraham Lincoln was ranked the best.

The Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey strives to be bipartisan, gathering responses from Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Yet Republicans consistently ranked Trump as the worst president, or at best, third worst. Some Republicans ranked Trump in 43rd place, with only Lincoln’s predecessor (James Buchanan) and successor (Andrew Johnson) occasionally ranking worse at 44th and 45th, respectively.
 
That’s just the rest of the “Spies Who Lie ring”. The other 51 touted Hunters laptop had earmarks of Russian disinformation.

A bill to deport illegal immigrants accused of sexual assault or domestic violence passed the House on Thursday.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

More than 140 Democrats voted against a House bill to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes on Thursday.

"Our country has been ravaged by a horror of illegal immigrants…violently raping American women and girls," Mace said during debate on the bill. "I know the lifelong scars, the irreversible scars, these heinous crimes leave behind."

Mace wrote on X during debate on the bill, "The Left justifying why they are against deporting r*pists, p*deophiles, and m*rderers who are here ILLEGALLY, never ceases to amaze me."


Talk about a disgrace!!
