Scholars rank Trump as the worst President in American history

They shouldn't have included Trump and I say that as a staunch critic of Trump's. If I had to rank his Presidency thus far, it would be in the bottom 10, but certainly not below Pierce's, Buchanan's, or Andrew Johnson's.

With that said, let's move on to other Presidents. Obama doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10. He left the Democratic party in its' worst position since before the Great Depression, Income inequality sky rocketed on his watch despite a recovery from the Great Recession, and his Foreign Policy, while an improvement from Bush/Cheney's and while it's looking better and better every day compared to Trump's, it still wasn't without massive flaws. Reagan is also undeserving of the Top 10 as well. His response to AIDS was disgraceful, he set a bad precedent when it comes to taxes and spending and it was on his watch that the Debt and Deficit began to spiral out of control. His giving rise to the religious right was also damaging as well. It's also nice to see Wilson and Kennedy falling out of the top 10 as well, although LOL at Republicans ranking GW Bush over JFK in their ranking, and Speaking of GW Bush, he was NOT a better President than Richard Nixon. It's sad that even Democrats now rank him above Nixon.

Somewhat surprised by the low ranking of Kennedy. The Cuban Missile Crisis alone ought to place him higher.

Sexcapades might be taking down his rating. Public attitudes toward reckless fornication by the rich and powerful have changed dramatically in the last few months. 

Not to mention he has very little if any legislative accomplishments and he was the one that sent the first combat troops into Vietnam.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, once the aurora of Camelot and the belief of "What would've/could've Been" fades, Kennedy's standing with the public and scholars will fall.
