Lame Duck President Trump is rank the #1 worst President of the US based on the CBS presidential historians survey. Historians evaluated them based on 10 qualities of presidential leadership, including economic management, international relations, crisis leadership, public persuasion skills and whether they pursued equal justice for all.
To Trump supporters and cult followers this is probably a surprise and a fake survey. I have seen FaceBook comments stating that Trump is the best President in spite of his mismanaging and poor leadership in handling the Covid-19 pandemic and his attempt to destroy democracy by not conceding and accept his defeat with dignity.
In this posting I will list only the top Twelve of Forty-Five. For the complete listing visit the website below.
1. Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)And for Trump's Legacy
By JONATHAN LEMIRE, ZEKE MILLER and DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The most improbable of presidents, Donald Trump reshaped the office and shattered its centuries-old norms and traditions while dominating the national discourse like no one before.
Trump, governing by whim and tweet, deepened the nation’s racial and cultural divides and undermined faith in its institutions. His legacy: a tumultuous four years that were marked by his impeachment, failures during the worst pandemic in a century and his refusal to accept defeat.
He smashed conceptions about how presidents behave and communicate, offering unvarnished thoughts and policy declarations alike, pulling back the curtain for the American people while enthralling supporters and unnerving foes — and sometimes allies — both at home and abroad.
While the nation would be hard pressed to elect another figure as disruptive as Trump, it remains to be seen how much of his imprint on the office itself, occupied by only 44 other men, will be indelible. Already it shadows the work of his successor, President-elect Joe Biden, who framed his candidacy as a repudiation of Trump, offering himself as an antidote to the chaos and dissent of the past four years while vowing to restore dignity to the Oval Office.
“For all four years, this is someone who at every opportunity tried to stretch presidential power beyond the limits of the law,” said presidential historian Michael Beschloss. “He altered the presidency in many ways, but many of them can be changed back almost overnight by a president who wants to make the point that there is a change.”
Trump's
most enduring legacy may be his use of the trappings of the presidency
to erode Americans’ views of the institutions of their own government. For complete details visit:
