I just saw an article in Newsweek (I thought it had gone bankrupt and closed) about the rankings by "experts" of all of America's presidents. The so called "experts" were 170 social science professors and others in academia in those fields. No surprise, these people ranked President Trump last of every US president in history. That's right; Warren Harding may have held office for two years with his biggest accomplishment being the Teapot Dome scandal, a sordid mess of corruption involving oil leases on federal lands. James Buchanan may have sat idle in Washington as the nation split apart and the Civil War began. Jimmy Carter may have led us into the highest spurt of inflation in American history and been unable to gain the freedom of American hostages held by Iran after Iranians overran the US embassy in Teheran. Other presidents long ago favored slavery. Woodrow Wilson was an avowed racist who segregated the US Armed Forces, supported the Ku Klux Klan and worked to make sure that minority voters could not vote in federal elections. But the "experts" have decided after one year that Trump is the worst.
It's a joke for such a survey to be done. The people doing the survey go to one of the most Democrat oriented groups in the nation to ask their question. It's no surprise that these strong Democrats don't like President Trump. But to call these people "experts" is still a joke. They're not expert and they're not impartial.
