dude, it's a race to the bottom. I've yelled at more people who say "Bush wasn't so bad" than you will care to know. I'll never forgive him for Iraq. And it's no stretch to argue that in the coming years that one-term Trump administration will have killed more people.

Pierce and Buchanan's policies precipitated if not caused a civil war. Andrew Johnson acted as if the freedmen didn't exist. Bush and Trump (and Reagan and Poppy) found novel ways to demonstrate our imperialism and racism, respectively.

it's true that none of the other slave-owning presidents did even that, but I mean...owning 250 human beings is owning 250 human beings (not to mention pursuing one who managed to escape), it should at least be considered a demerit is all I'm saying, esp if the #1 is Lincoln

I am not sure it needs to be a competition. Ruling people in those times were, generally, bad. Ruling people before then were also not great. Ruling people now? Um, some of them remain quite unpleasant.
I totally understand that there is a hierarchy - slavery and genocide are worse than (for example) securities fraud. But I am not aware of any public figures who can be described as flawless.

Mitchell Epner shared this read from David Cay, who Epner describes as someone "who has been following Trump's finances for decades," and it's worth a gander.
https://www.dcreport.org/2024/02/19/trumps-legal-delay-tactics-will-lead-to-further-self-destruction/
Epner himself is skeptical, saying:
Even if Trump can't raise the funds to deposit with the courts, he can appeal - it just doesn't stay enforcement. If he appeals but does not post the $, it would put the onus on E. Jean Carroll and/or the NYAG to seek to enforce the judgments. That process would be ugly for Trump, but it would allow him to play to the MAGA masses. A personal bankruptcy filing strikes at his core identity. It also would open Trump up to extremely invasive discovery to find his assets and liabilities. The only thing that I know *for certain* about the future is that it has not happened yet, so Mr. Johnson's prediction may be proven accurate.We will see.

I lean Epner but then again, this is a scenario Trump has never wanted, and here he is.

xxp, I'm glad Obama ranks in the top 10 in that poll. I think he is still the best president of my lifetime, for being the originator of Obamacare if for nothing else.
But he was also essentially scandal-free and was someone who really understood what he could achieve - the limitations that were imposed on him by society and government - and was nevertheless able to lead us into the future without mishap
