There was a poll of 170 presidential scholars ranking the greatness of all presidents in early 2018, just a year into Trump’s presidency.  I’ve linked to it at the bottom.

Even at this early point uis his presidency, Trump ranked dead last (44th out of 44).  This group of respondents definitely has a liberal tilt.  But among Republicans only, Trump was still close to the bottom, ranking 40th out of 44, ahead of only Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Pierce, and WH Harrison (who usually isn’t even ranked).

He'll rank at the bottom of Modera Era Presidents along with George W. Bush & Richard Nixon.

GW Bush has actually moved up noticeably in the rankings I linked to, from 35th out of 43 in 2014 to 30th out of 44 in 2018.   Nixon is in the same general area, ranking 33rd or 34th.'

Trump was way below both of them in 2018, and I imagine his reputation has only sunk further over the last 2.5 years.
