He might call it that on troth sencial, but everyone knows he gets off on being ranked highly on lists. Forbes list especially, but he also brags about the height of his buildings, crowd size at his events, golf tournament wins (that he makes up) etc etc. So when he’s ranked Dead Last on a list.. especially as The Worst American President of all time.. you bet I think it gets under his orange bronzer and makes him throw ketchup at the wall.

While i think Trump is bad, there are far worse presidents if you're ranking their presidencies by how evil they were
I would easily consider Nixon the most objectively evil president in history, as he and Kissinger killed many millions of people in relentless bombing campaigns focused on targeting civilians and crops in Cambodia and Vietnam, killed yet millions more in Bangladesh by arming Pakistan to commit a genocide, armed and enabled Pinochets rise to power in Chile along with his bloody fascist coup, Supported many brutal dictatorships Across Latin America, Enabled genocides in East Timor and Guatemala, Supported South African Apartheid, Armed and Trained forces in Nigeria to commit massacres, and so much more.
while many US presidents have committed genocides and ethnic cleansings, such as constantly enabling genocides across the western frontier, with Andrew Jackson being one of the more premier examples of that, but far from the only one, few can really compare in their sheer ruthlessness in wanting to kill as many people as possible in the millions as long as it served to expand US geopolitical or business interest in some way.
Trump, much like Obama is certainly far from free from sponsoring massacres as well, such as directly supporting and arming the Saudi's invasion of Yemen as well as other countries, and these are of course extremely inexcusable, but Nixon is still more evil.
At least Nixon resigned, rather than attempt a coup. On the plus side, he is sometimes regarded as the last of the great liberal presidents.

I think William Harrison is the worst. While he was dealing with Pneumonia, he accomplished nothing and then died.
It's my opinion that the only thing worse than having a terrible legacy is having no legacy at all.

"Orange bronzer". The use of that term made me lol.

I'd much rather have limited or no legacy at all than have a terrible legacy, but even so William Harrison did leave a horrible legacy as someone who actively participated in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of native americans during his military career.
here's a portion of letter written by Thomas "i totally LOVE the natives" Jefferson to William Henry Johnson:

Yeah! Give James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, FDR, Reagan, and Andrew Jackson some credit!
Seriously though. Trump was an embarrassing, moronic criminal, but other presidents have done worse to the country and the world. Trump is relatively par for the course as far as modern presidents go on actual policy positions. He just had far worse PR because he did not try to sugar-coat his contempt for immigrants/foreigners/non-whites/protesters. He just said the quiet parts out loud, so acting like Trump is astronomically worse than any other modern president is mainly because of a fixation on propriety and civility, rather than because Obama or Clinton were paragons of virtue and respectability. Obama especially was great at maintaining his image of the enlightened benevolent ruler while continuing many of the same policies as the widely-reviled GWB.

Even if you think every other potus is just as big an as*hole but they don’t say things out loud, measure trump in dollars and he’s still the worst. He added $7.8 TRILLION to the national debt. Even if you remove Covid spending from his last year in office, he still ram record deficits for his first 3 years via tax cuts for the already filthy rich.

Fun fact: WHH, in addition to having the shortest presidency, was also the last president to have been born a British subject (born in 1773)

Andrew Johnson is breathing a sign of relief from beyond the grave.
