Seems spot on, but curious why you didn't include Andrew Johnson. 

Yea there are a couple that should beat out Fillmore on a list of worst people to be President.

I guess would say Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland, Trump and maybe either JFK or Clinton but not sure which.


I would certainly regard Wilson as a terrible President and would have probably been on this list prior to Trump.

I'm guessing that this is just a gag, right? Because while Reagan was indeed terrible, there were still Presidents who were just objectively even worse at being - well - human beings than he was.

It also seems to be subject to recency bias.

This thread has been very informational. I learned that two Presidents from the 1880s were horrendous in their spousal relationships (more than I previously realized for Cleveland, did not know about Benjamin) and that Reagan was five separate people. They just don't teach the important things in school anymore.
