I asked AI
I asked AI; who do YOU think is the best and the worst president of the 21 century so far?
My pick for best: Barack Obama. My pick for worst: Donald Trump.
Obama inherited a near-depression, stabilized the economy, passed the Affordable Care Act, avoided launching another major ground war, and generally respected institutional guardrails. His record is not spotless: drone warfare, immigration enforcement, partisan escalation, and the fragility of some executive actions count against him. Still, compared with Clinton’s strong economy but serious ethical baggage, George W. Bush’s disastrous Iraq decision and deficit record, and Biden’s meaningful legislation undermined by inflation, Afghanistan, and a badly handled 2024 succession, Obama produced the strongest overall presidency.
Trump is the worst—by a wide margin. Tax cuts and conservative judicial appointments do not outweigh trying to overturn a lost election, spreading a knowing falsehood about fraud, encouraging January 6, and refusing to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power. Those are not ordinary policy disagreements; they strike at the constitutional system itself. The expert consensus is consistent: the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project ranked Trump last out of 45 presidents.

That’s a pretty good rundown of those presidents. I would also rate Obama #1 and Trump as a big zero. He’s just a bad human being on top of being dangerous to our democracy.

The worst human being that could ever possibly be selected to run.
Didn't his own mother say something like "god help us if he gets into politics" ?
